Söldner: Secret Wars is a video game, developed by Wings Simulations and published in 2004 by JoWooD Productions and Encore, Inc.. The game can be played in first- or third-person. Players can control ground vehicles, planes, VTOLs and helicopters.

The game is made to be played online, with the single-player campaign used for training.

The game and the expansion set Söldner: Marine Corps were re-released together in North America by Evolved Games (Take-Two Interactive) in May 2006, renamed to Semper Fidelis Marine Corps to avoid previous bad press about Söldner.

Game types

  • Capture The Flag (CTF)
  • Capture The Vehicle (CTV): Similar to CTF, using a vehicle instead of a flag.
  • Conquest (CQ)
  • Super Conquest (SCQ): Similar to CQ, but capturing of enemy's headquarters is not possible unless controlling all other checkpoints
  • Deathmatch (DM)
  • Team-Deathmatch (TDM)
  • Frontline (FL)

All modes can be played on all maps. They can also be customized, for example you can capture a person or building or particular item instead of a flag.

Söldner: Marine Corps (Add-on/Expansion Set)

Marine Corps adds ships and vessels to the game and new maps for desert combat. It also added new vehicles.

All Marine Corps features are usable without the add-on, but new features (weapons, vehicles, vessels) are not accessible, but if a player drops weapon or leaves vehicle it can be used by all players.
