Maverick Hits SanFran with Square Enix’s Order of War
OOW Multiplayer Mode Gets a Hands-On Showcase in San Francisco to Online Outlets
We love going to San Francisco. Really we do. We’re there quite a bit. In fact, besides cities that I’ve lived in, I would say I have spent most of my time in San Francisco. To be fair, the entirety of my knowledge of SanFran revolves around a small, 5-block cluster centered on the W Hotel, The Palomar, The Argent (now Westin), 1UP and GameSpot… and then a tiny peninsula in South San Francisco. So… I’m no tour guide.

View from the Westin: all I ever see of SF. If you squint, you can see Alcatraz . I've never been there.
However, I do know where everyone works. So when Maverick was tasked with whisking Order of War up to San Francisco for a showcase of the game’s cool multiplayer mode, we had a pretty good idea of what we needed to do. So off we went! And, we had a great time talking about the game and facing off head-to-head with some of the industry’s top PC journalists in the two maps we were showing. I can’t say I was victorious often, but it was a blast either way.
Take a minute to check out some of the coverage that has hit online since our tour. You can find it here on IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, GamesRadar, 1UP and Worthplaying.

I utilized my rocket artillery with much ballyhoo, but alas, most editors shamed me anyway.
And keep an eye out for the multiplayer demo – 2 levels of WWII strategy action are going to drop on your head this coming Tuesday – 9/15!!
