What are its high-level design goals, and what types and balance of gameplay does it aim to provide / emphasize? What does this game offer that differentiates it from other games that seem similar, both current and upcoming? When did commercial service begin, and in what parts of the world is the game currently available? In what languages? Jungseok Park & Sam Oh: Arctic Combat is a free to play online FPS which provides trending themes you would see in current console or PC games. Arctic Combat's concept is about strategic battle where aimed shots are fully supported, meaning you will shoot better with the zoom mode just like in today's console or PC games. We have special weapons and Support package systems to help out in the battlefield. One of key system we have which differentiates our game from others is the gore mode, enemies limbs will fly depends where you shoot to kill him. We introduced this feature in order to provide more realism and greater feedback of shooting. We plan to launch Arctic Combat in 3Q 2012, it will be serviced in English but we hope to support in many other languages as possible since it is a Global Service. Arctic Combat is already launched in Korea as Battery Online and we are looking forward to Thailand and China service in early 2012. MMORPG.com: What do you regard as the main opportunities for and barriers to success here in North America? What kinds of gamers comprise your core target market here? In addition to language, in what ways and to what extent does the version our readers will play differ from the domestic Korean one? Jungseok Park & Sam Oh: Currently in North America's online FPS market, the trend was basically counter-strike style games. We are not saying counter-strike style is bad, there were times CS was dominating on & offline markets. However while the PC & console market was evolving around this FPS genre, online FPS market was still quite the same. That's where Arctic Combat comes in. We do not wish to change the market completely. We only wish to provide our users something different than what the market already has to offer and show them there are actually other choices to enjoy Online

Anything is different about this game's version of the cash shop model? Jungseok Park & Sam Oh: As for our revenue model we can proudly say that there will be No Cash Weapons in Arctic Combat. We know there have been a lot of complaints about unfairness with Cash weapons over-powering normal weapon, which makes paying users stronger and non-paying users weak and this is not a true Free to Play model at all. MMORPG.com: Please describe the major features of your game's engine and overall technology, especially any aspects that particularly important due to the nature of the game. What third-party technology are you using, if any, and what factored into this decision? What are the system requirements for good game performance? What about your server technology? What are the significant features? What is your target capacity in terms of simultaneous players per server cluster? Why did you choose this capacity? Jungseok Park & Sam Oh: Arctic Combat is developed with Unreal Engine 2.5. We had choices between UE 3.0 and UE 2.5 but we made our choice with UE 2.5 because we believe for Global Service we could care more users with lower spec PC systems to high spec PC systems. It doesn't mean we have sacrificed a lot on our visual aspects, we still kept our visual qualities high. MMORPG.com: Is there anything else that you'd like to tell our readers (e.g. have any important features or elements not been addressed?), something you'd like to ask them, or any other closing thoughts?
