A big update just hit Alliance of Valiant Arms (A.V.A), including an all-new map and multiplayer game mode. Players looking to jump straight into the fast-paced deathmatch action in A.V.A can now quickly get their fill in the new [AI] Annihilation mode without having to wait for a full team in the online shooter. Players can start matches with as little as one person on each side of the conflict, as computer-controlled bots will fill in the open spots on each team to create a full match. AI combatants can spawn with weapons not currently available in A.V.A’s in-game store, allowing players to pick up new weapons from downed opponents.

The twitch-based fast action-multiplayer online first person shooter (MOFPS) from ijji.com also introduces Pyramid, a challenging map where the opposing factions navigate narrow corridors as they battle for control.

IRVINE, Calif. – July 15, 2010 – Alliance of Valiant Arms (A.V.A) is bringing the heat with the addition of some hot new summer content to the lightning-fast Unreal Engine 3-powered multi-player online first-person shooter (MOFPS). With the latest update to A.V.A, ijji.com is deploying an exciting new map and an arsenal of brand new weapons and items to the online shooter.

The newest map, “Burning Temple,” tasks players with infiltrating an enemy-infested city in northern Italy in search of a powerful air defense radar system that is capable of intercepting every plane that flies over the Alps. Players must fight their way through a fierce enemy defense in order to gain control of the skies. With access to new weapons, including the M4Spectre and Python 357, failure is not an option. Other new item additions include the red smoke grenade, and items that boost their character’s performance, including the Sergeant Beret, Lieutenant Beret, and Face Guard.

“Gamers flock to A.V.A for heated, intense shooter action and as the summer continues to heat up we continue to roll-out hot new content,” said Calvin Yang, vice president of marketing, NHN USA, which hosts ijji.com. “We strive to provide a fresh new experience each time players log on to play A.V.A and this new map provides unique new terrain to challenge them.”
