In this sequel to the critically acclaimed first-person action
game, you resume the role of Alexander Munro, chief of the Hazard
Team, Starfleet's elite security unit. Now assigned to the U.S.S.
Enterprise NCC 1701-E, you will explore strange new worlds, battle
both new and familiar civilisations and go on the most dangerous
assignments in the galaxy.
"Star Trek Elite Force II is the continuation of one of the
most highly regarded Star Trek games ever," states Larry Goldberg,
executive vice president of Activision Worldwide Studios. "Incredible
graphics, exotic environments, great characters, excellent teammate
AI and, of course, the richness of the Star Trek universe - this
action game has it all."
After a brief prologue on the U.S.S. Voyager and a short stint
at Starfleet Academy, the Hazard Team is assigned its toughest mission
yet - duty onboard the Federation's renowned flagship, the U.S.S.
Enterprise NCC 1701-E. Powered by id Software's QUAKE III: Team
Arena engine, Star Trek Elite Force II allows you to break out of
the confines of ship bulkheads and spacestation corridors, and undertake
away team missions in open environments such as expansive alien
landscapes, the void of space and deadly swamps. Additionally, you
must master zero gravity combat when you do battle on the hull of
a starship.
Now set in the Star Trek: The Next Generation universe, you can
expect to face off against classic Star Trek antagonists such as
the Borg, Klingons and Romulans. You will also fight several never
before seen alien species including a mysterious nightmare race.
To help you gain the upper hand against such formidable foes, Star
Trek Elite Force II allows you to arm yourself with 13 different
weapons and gear including a phaser, compression rifle, multifunctional
grenade launcher, Romulan disruptor, tetryon gatling gun, a fully
featured tricorder, and several all-new weapons.
Over the course of Star Trek Elite Force II, you will be able to
explore different options or tactics when dealing with a threat,
as opposed to being forced to pursue a particular path. Additionally,
the game boasts a larger number of environments and a significantly
longer gaming experience than the first Elite Force.
Star Trek Elite Force II also marks the return of multiplayer Holomatch.
Similar to the original game, Star Trek Elite Force II offers several
multiplayer modes including modes found in the Elite Force Expansion
Pack, but with new features and weapons like the Klingon Bat'Leth.
Multiplayer modes include Holomatch, Capture The Flag, and Team
Holomatch.
