kill.switch, a 3rd person action game from Namco, drops players in the middle of a war zone where they'll have to use both brains and firepower to make it out alive. Using a mission based structure similar to most action games, kill.switch will feature an innovative 'Offensive Cover' system, providing for unique places to hide while returning fire.
Basically, the 'Offensive Cover' option will allow players to use virtually anything in the level's environment for cover. While hiding, you'll have two choices, you can pop-out and return fire or you can hold out your gun and 'blind fire' your weapon. While popping out from your cover will guarantee a better hit ratio, it’s also not always the smartest option since it can also expose you to return fire. When blind firing your weapon, your character will hold out just his weapon and spray gunfire in the general direction of what you're shooting at. Best case scenario you'll hit a target, but more than likely it will just make things confusing for your opponent.
kill.switch should ship later this year for both the PS2 and Xbox.
