One of the game’s main features is to include a “living, breathing squad” that reacts according to group morale. So if you keep making wrong leadership decisions, your squad to lose confidence in combat, affecting their aim, their fatigue, and the will to fight.

BlackSite: Area 51 gives players the opportunity to drive the latest military HMMWVs, ATVs and commandeer civilian vehicles, or take a seat in the gunner’s position in daring, low-level helicopter raids against enemy positions. Players will have a wide variety of traditional online modes, such as Death- Match, Team-Death-Match and Capture-the-Flag. All-new, unique modes will also be available in the form of Human vs. Reborn mode and the new Siege mode, where teams try to capture each other’s squad members on the way to controlling territory. The game’s backgrounds are fully destructible and allow players to control all squad commands with the press of a single button, without the hassle of clunky menus and/or multiple button taps. BlackSite: Area 51 is in development for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC.
