take orders effectively, and seek cover and defend themselves when
necessary. Gamers will experience richer cooperative gameplay than ever,
through unique characters that require cooperation to survive.

life with unbelievable model quality and a physics-integrated animation
system that has them truly reacting intelligently to events as they unfold
around them.
