Breach Sees Delay, New Mode Being Added Just Because
As a result of this release shift, Atomic will be dropping a new mode, dubbed hardcore, into the game. The mode is being described as something Atomic created as some sort of military training aid, and will be one among a couple of new features the studio has been "thinking of adding to the title" before this news broke.
“While work on Breach is actually done, we did miss our small window with Microsoft to get it up on Xbox Live Arcade for Xbox 360 in late June as we had planned," Atomic president Peter Tamte said in a statement. "Luckily, there were features we had been thinking of adding to the title, and now we have the opportunity to do just that. Unlike with Six Days in Fallujah, which was delayed indefinitely when Konami pulled out, we are publishing Breach ourselves, and it will be out in January," he continued.
Breach is a military first-person shooter game with a multiplayer focus. Its big twist is its destruction engine, which allows users to destroy cover and blast out even lone bricks on the sides of buildings. From what I've seen of the game, it looked good. I didn't have issues with the controls like others, but I did take a critical note on the cover system. When a person enters cover, the camera detaches and hovers in 3rd-person, gifting the user with relatively cozy total battlefield awareness. This kind of stuff never bodes well for a sim, especially one so purely focused on its multiplayer.

...Never heard of it till now. Not like I have the HDD space to DL it anyway...I really need that new Xbox.
This sounds like Rainbow 6 (Vegas) to me, which had plenty of fun multiplayer.When a person enters cover, the camera detaches and hovers in 3rd-person, gifting the user with relatively cozy total battlefield awareness.

I'm actually interested in seeing how this one pans out. I really love the destructibility in Bad Company 2 and Red Faction Guerrilla, I'm hoping this game takes it a step further.
I really hope that more games have destructibility in them going forward. If a game dev doesn't want me to attempt to use a grenade or rocket to put holes in the environment then don't give the player the tools that would cause that kind of destruction. If this game does destruction better than full retail games, then I'll really be expecting them to step it up.
