Despite the relative success of games like Halo Wars and the long-running Command and Conquer series, real-time strategy games don't seem to get as much attention these days as their more popular first-person shooter counterparts. Developer Atomic Motion is trying to change that trend by combing "a first-person shooter experience with the command and overview advantages of tactical real-time strategy" in their upcoming title Raven Squad.
I was able to check out a demonstration of the game recently, and as a hybrid, it looks like a lot more fun with friends than as a solo campaign. You can play alone, or cooperatively with a friend online (and through system link on 360), but regardless of who you're playing with, you always have two friendly squads on-screen at a time (assault and support) made up of three members each. Within those squads, your team members each have unique weapons and skills (like the medic and the sniper) so it's important to keep all your teammates alive so you can switch between characters (and squads in single-player) on the fly. Routing out some enemies with a quick grenade assault then switching over to a sniper to pick off any unfortunate survivors is just a few button pushes away.
