New Age War: Online

Every bullet is a real projectile

New Age War Online is a first-person shooter where every shot flies with its own speed and drop, so range and lead matter on every long shot. Fight online or against bots across a Mexican valley town, the Ukrainian steppe and the open sea.

Build your weapon

34 guns and 2 knives: assault and battle rifles, PDWs, SMGs, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns and sidearms. On the M4A1, M16A4, UAR15, AK-74 and AKM, change the barrel, handguard, stock, grip, magazine, sight, muzzle device, laser, light and paint.

Optics and thermal

Variable zoom scopes, plus night vision and thermal clip-ons. A thermal shows people by their heat: white hot, or cold blue to hot yellow.

Maps

Valley Town: a Michoacán valley with a town square, farms and two ridges. Mid-range fights in the streets, long shots from the ridges.

Steppe Front: black-earth steppe on the eastern front, with a shelled village and its panel blocks between two dug-in trench lines.

Open Sea: jets only. 20 km of open sea round two island airbases. Take off in an F-35A from your own runway or start in the air.

Modes

Online lobbies: public or password-protected, up to 16 players. The host picks the map, the weather and the time of day.

Versus AI: Team Deathmatch, Zone Control and War against bots, with your choice of bot count, teammates and difficulty.

Training range: steel targets, signed distances and a ballistics gel lab that shows the wound path of each round.

The battlefield

Six sides: Mexican Army, US Army, Russian Army, Ukrainian Army, PGN and Cartel.

Vehicles and killstreaks: drive vehicles, and earn a UAV, armor, a strike drone or an air strike with kills in a row. The Cartel calls in its armoured monster truck instead of an air strike.

Sound traced through the map: shots reach you at the speed of sound, come round corners, through walls and off the walls around you.

Weather and night: clear, cloudy, overcast or rain, by day or by night.
