Original War - The True Story [DOCUMENTARY]

Posted by zoNE, on 12nd April 2017, 01:18 PM
"After the Cold War had ended, Russia completely lost its weight on the international arena. Its chance to regain lost influence and power is a newly discovered mineral - Siberite. Its deposites are located only on frostbound areas of Siberia. This newly discovered element can be used as very cheap and extremely efficient source of energy.

The United States start to act. They use an experimental device to send commandos into distant past. A special forces unit is sent on a one-way trip with a mission to transport the Siberite to the territory of current Alaska..."

Quoted passage does not refer to a new book of Wolfgang Jeschke, who died in 2015, but introduces us to the world of real-time strategy game Original War, published on June 15, 2001. On the 2000 edition of E3 Expo, newest creation of Altar Interactive (later called Altar Games and previously known only from one title) is presented to the public.




English subtitled version.

Bohemia Interactive said:
Bohemia Interactive - the company behind Arma 3 and DayZ today announced a new game...
Is it really "the official sequel to the multi-award winning Arma"?
Bohemia Interactive says: "No! This game is a real time strategy, the player builds a base, finds resources, builds vehicles, and destroys the enemy. Its distinguishing feature is the way the game mechanics reflect the backstory's scarcity of resources and isolation (...)"

Spanish language

Posted by Lengorio, on 8th May 2016, 09:53 PM
I want to inform everyone that since few days ago Original-war.net and forum apart from being in Polish, Czech, English, French and Russian, is translated completely in Spanish.

With our website in Spanish, people who speak this language can find things what they want easier and hopefully, some people will join our community of OW and we will be more than before!

I will translate other things!
