"Due to the early stage of Xbox Live on 360, we are not currently planning to support clans initially at launch," said Allen. "Yes, we are fully supporting Co-op play, both with the customizable game mode system, and an all new co-op campaign...once you finish the SP campaign, you have a whole new game to start."

It was also mentioned how the game will be pushing the power of the Xbox 360. The game runs on a game engine that has been specially tailored for the Xbox 360’s three core CPU, making full use of the processing power the console has to offer.

"We were able to push the power of the 360 using our Multi Core technology, which means we can push the 3 processors to the max in terms of animation, post fx, HDR and so on," said Matouba.

When asked what was best about the Xbox 360 the two game designers were most impressed with the new Xbox Live -- "The greatest thing for us is the new live interface and rich presence. Now players have a consistent profile, friends list, etc," said Allen. "This takes the work off of the plates of the developers, and ensures the players have a consistent experience across all Live games."

Also worth mentioning is that the game will have both first-person and over-the-shoulder views. So far the game has no official release date, but the latest we heard was March 2006.
