Full Spectrum Warrior is a video game classified as a real-time strategy action/war game. It was developed by Pandemic Studios and published by THQ. It was released on June 1, 2004 for the Xbox and on September 21, 2004 for the PC. Full Spectrum Warrior was originally developed as a serious game training aid for the United States Army. The US Army also developed Full Spectrum Command with the Institute for Creative Technologies (ICT) as a more strategy-oriented serious game intended for higher ranking military officers. FSC has not been officially released to the public, though it was included in the PC version and all that was necessary to access it was a password, soon available on the Internet.

Gameplay

Full Spectrum Warrior is essentially a squad-based game in which the player issues commands to two fire teams. The basic gameplay mechanics remain the same for the retail version of Full Spectrum Warrior, which was released on the Microsoft Windows platforms and Xbox. Both versions are very realistic, although the retail version places much more emphasis on aesthetics - it possesses substantially improved graphics and sound, and while the story is fictional in both versions, the retail version greatly resembles a war movie. Fleshed-out cinematics and high-quality voice acting are also characteristics that distinguish the retail version from the military version. The original military version of the game can also be unlocked within the retail version. Full Spectrum Warrior is often compared to Ridley Scott's film, Black Hawk Down. A musical group called Machinehead worked on the music for both Black Hawk Down and Full Spectrum Warrior.

Multiplayer

Full Spectrum Warrior includes a cooperative mode that was designed to take advantage of Micrsoft's Xbox Live online gaming service through the use of voice communication. In co-op mode, two players are in command of their own fireteam and must work together to accomplish the goals of the level.
