Stalingrad

Stalingrad is a cancelled Xbox and PC game by 4X Studios. It was to be a WWII-era FPS game.

Plot
It is 1942. Stalingrad is the only town protecting Russia from the Führer. You would play as a young Russian sniper, a strong silent type. You must defend Russia against Operation Barbarossa.

The actual plot is a bit more personal. This is a tale of a rivalry between snipers. An SS sniper is just as good as you are. You have to prove him wrong.

Gameplay
You will have to accomplish missions solo or as a team, either with bots or co-op. Co-op can be done either LAN or online internet.

All the mission were to take place in Stalingrad. These would all be from real scenes in the Battle of Stalingrad. Stealth is of the essence. There would be climbing to vantage points.

There was to be 24 historically accurate weapons among seven different classes. Each weapon has twelve parts that can be upgraded up to three times. Upgrades can be purchased from NPCs or looted from corpses.

As you complete missions you will gain experience. You can use these to improve your skills.

Cancellation
Stalingrad was cancelled when 4X Studios went defunct in late 2002.

Timeline:
 * October 2001: development starts
