Operation: White Night

The rifle points down a narrow approach, but the lower half of the screen tells the larger story. Duke and Carnage are waiting on orders. A number key can call the whole fire team, send them to a navigation point, change formation or tell them to hold while you scout ahead. Damage Incorporated borrows the immediacy of a Marathon firefight, then makes responsibility for several other people part of the pressure.

Its first mission begins under a hard blue night sky with a fenced compound in the distance. The route looks simple until movement, ammunition and squad position all demand attention at once. The command console never lets the game become a solitary corridor shoot; even a quiet stretch is a chance to bring the team back together before the next door.

To enter the first mission, choose New, finish the Operation: White Night briefing with Done, then accept the default fire team with Move It Out.

Four demo missions

MacSoft's demonstration contains three single-player operations and one network map. Its Info-Mac submission is unusually plain about sharing: distribute it by any means, to anyone, so long as the package stays unaltered and its Read This document remains inside. The catalogue therefore keeps the complete BinHex file exactly as submitted, including the nested StuffIt archive that Systemless opens at launch.
