    Key game features include:

    *  TWO ALL NEW SINGLE PLAYER CAMPAIGNS -- Embark on 11 challenging
       missions through treacherous South American jungles and across the high
       deserts of Iran.  Insert by Black Hawk into enemy territory, fight your
       way through a mountain stronghold and pursue the enemy through hostile
       oil fields.

    *  NEW WEAPONS, SQUAD COMMANDS AND CHARACTERS -- Select from 24 weapons to
       maximize your effectiveness in battle, including two never before seen
       weapons in the Black Hawk Down series; the MK-23 SOCOM and the L115A
       sniper rifle.  Take command of the world's most elite Special Forces
       teams -- Delta Force and the British SAS -- and order your squad mates
       to lay down suppressive fire or execute a flanking maneuver on the
       enemy.

    *  NEW MULTIPLAYER WARFARE -- Join in the action in intense fire fights
       with up to 32 players online and seven unique game types including new
       variants and old classics.  Persistent statistic tracking allows you to
       follow your progress as you rise through the ranks.  Battle it out with
       up to four of your friends in split-screen or work together against a
       common foe in cooperative play.  With 24 multiplayer maps to choose
       from and voice-over-net for immediate battlefield intel, prepare for
       battles that are even more intense than the original Black Hawk Down.
