The new Total War™ Wiki now offers gamers a glimpse of the historical factions that will be playable in Total War™: ROME II. The first faction to be revealed is Rome itself, and will be followed by all others in the coming weeks and months.

Featuring maps showing each faction’s starting position, plus information on its military, political and civic strengths and vivid depictions of its armies in battle, the Total War™: ROME II Faction Hub is an essential destination for Total War™ fans. Each faction within the game offer greater richness, depth and variety than any previous Total War™ title to date, and brings the ancient world to life like never before. The distinctions between cultures aren’t simply cosmetic; each offers a fundamentally different style of play.

Representing key powers within the Greco-Roman, Barbarian, and Eastern cultures, every faction features its own agents and political system, and three tech trees representing civic, military and engineering disciplines. Each will have its own dilemmas to face and different styles of army to manage. Certain factions – such as Rome – are split into a number of playable families, which bring further unique benefits to their base faction traits.

The faction hub will be updated regularly with new faction information. Keep tabs on the Total War™ Facebook page and follow us on Twitter for future updates and announcements.

The Medal of Honor Warfighter The Hunt Map Pack will also include six new weapon configurations, 14 new weapon camouflage skins and 10 new multiplayer ranks.

For a decade, an elite team of intelligence and military operatives, working in secret across the globe, devoted themselves to a single goal: to find and eliminate Osama bin Laden. Zero Dark Thirty reunites the Oscar® winning team of director-producer Kathryn Bigelow and writer-producer Mark Boal (The HurtLocker) for the story of history’s greatest manhunt for the world’s most dangerous man.

Medal of Honor Warfighter, written by actual U.S. Tier 1 Operators while deployed overseas, puts players in the boots of today’s most highly trained and skilled warriors. From rescuing hostages in Abu Sayyaf’s stronghold in the Philippines to assaulting Al-Shabaab’s “Pirate Town” on the Somali Coast, Medal of Honor Warfighter features international hotspots in the single player campaign and introduces international Tier 1 Operators in multiplayer allowing gamers to show their national pride online.

Medal of Honor Warfighter is now available on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and PC.
