Unfortunately, Codename Eagle’s SP mode is filled with frustrating moments, from psychic AI, to missions where you’re required to actually land planes (very difficult for reasons stated later), and lastly, wolves.
One would think that the setting would be excellent for a single-player campaign. The alternate history setting offers some interesting technological differences, such as a handheld machine gun powered by a rather large gear, biplanes with a bomber and gunner seat, heavily armed zeppelins, tanks of all sorts, and (in a later patch) even a helicopter. It is the mid-1920’s and a resistance movement has formed, undertaking covert missions to finally stop this madness once and for all, before Tsar Pietre dominates the entire planet.
CODENAME EAGLE PATCH SERIES
Such a thing is most certainly the case with Talonsoft’s 1999 FPS, Codename Eagle, developed by Refraction Games, who would eventually merge with Digital Illusions CE and go on to make the Battlefield series on the same basic engine.Ĭodename Eagle tells the story of an alternate history where the Bolshevik Revolution has failed, and Pietre, the new Tsar of Russia, takes power and crushes every nation that dares stand in his way. The whole point of the mantra is that, even if a game has washed out textures, weak sound effects, glitchy physics and unstable net code, it could still be fun when playing it with friends – even hilarious at times. “Even a terrible game can be fun in multiplayer.” That’s a pretty common mantra, particularly in response to questions regarding how games like Halo and Call of Duty continue to sell despite rather inconsistent and divisive campaign modes.
