Many of the new vehicles and weapons featured
in Secret Weapons-futuristic for the WWII timeframe-were considered
extremely powerful yet experimental. While these armaments
and vehicles are rooted in WWII history, many never saw actual
combat, however, they are put to use in the game.
Secret Weapons lets gamers control and use
new weapons and new vehicles in eight fresh WWII combat battlefields
including, Telemark, Peenemüende (V2 research facility),
Essen and The Eagle's Nest (Hitler's hideaway). All new battlefields
offer unique settings from nightfall during the summer in
Prague to a winter battle in Norway.
Secret Weapons brings the total of playable vehicles in the
game to 46. In addition to the 30 vehicles in the original
game that includes jeeps, fighter planes, tanks and aircraft
carriers, players can operate16 new vehicles including a Horton
HO 229 fighter plane that is equipped with a 30 mm machine
gun. Other vehicles include a US Sherman tank with a T-34
Calliope (rocket launcher), U.S. Super Heavy Tank, Sturmtiger,
Goblin jetfighter, C-47 cargo plane, Armstrong Whitworth AW-52,
the German Wasserfall guided anti-air missile and the German
Natter rocket plane.
In addition to offering innovative weapons
and vehicles, the game also improves on gameplay by adding
an "objective based" mode. In this new mode, players
will be tasked with a specific objective to win the battle
(e.g. destroy a secret facility).
