Under the pressure and limited in time, players will have to work together as a team, utilizing each faction\u2019s unique skills, and identifying their opponents\u2019 weak spots to either reach the safety of the escape point or to eliminate their targets.<\/p>\n

The game will be available in stores across the globe on February 12, 2013 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. No date has been set for the recently announced Wii U version.<\/p>\n
