Star Trek DAC - Gameplay

Gameplay

The game was officially announced at the 2009 Game Developers Conference. The games features include:

• Online multiplayer with up to 12 players in two teams of 6
• 6 unique levels across 3 game modes
• A Survival challenge mode (single-player campaign)
• Cooperative gameplay in which up to 6 players battle against 6 A.I controlled bots
• Federation versus Romulan factions
• The USS Enterprise model from the 2009 film, plus 9 other ships

Other notable items:

• D-A-C stands for the three modes of play available in the game: Deathmatch, Assault, and Conquest.
• The game's levels will feature different objectives, and each level has been designed to have a completion time of ten minutes
• Players will be able to upgrade their ships during play by collecting various power-ups (each faction has 4 unique special weapons as well)
• The game is more arcade-focused with the title being delivered without a narrative. This, as the developer claims, is to prevent the biggest mistake that movie tie-in games make which is to have the game follow the plot of the film.
• The game has been built to allow downloadable content which is being released as of November 2009, concurrent with the Blu-ray release of the motion picture
• One of the in game achievements (Xbox 360) is only attainable by using a secret code. The secret achievement is named "Kobayashi Maru" and makes the ship you're piloting have stronger weapons and shields. "Kobayashi Maru" is a reference to an unwinnable scenario in the film that Captain Kirk beats only by cheating.
• The PC version was pre-optimized to run in stereoscopic 3D on NVIDIA GeForce 3D Vision by NVIDIA. DDD and iZ3D pre-optimization was arranged by the S-3D Gaming Alliance.
• In addition, PC version has some GPU accelerated PhysX effects.
• sometimes the three-letter abbreviation DAC of Star Trek D·A·C (Deathmatch. Assault. Conquest) is incorrectly referred to as standing for Dynamic Aerospace Command.
