To make the most of the environment, a massive range of vehicles will be at the disposal of the player, as well as a vast array of weapons.
The wide open game world features an array of different AI factions with which the player can interact, and hundreds of diverse missions to create an original experience each time the game is played. Combined with the vast seamless gaming world, the result is gameplay freedom and replayability on an unprecedented scale.
