# Ground-Breaking Technology
Environments as Weapons
Using the Massive D physics engine, bring the world down on your enemies, carve your own realistic path of destruction through environments and maneuver through unique piles of debris which persist in the environment.

Intense Gun Battles
Engage the enemy in Tequila Time by targeting and firing in real-time while the world dramatically slows and enjoy the exhilaration of running up railings, swinging from chandeliers, and leaping onto moving objects - all without complex controls.

Unreal 3.0 & Havoc
Using a highly modified version of the Unreal 3.0 engine integrated with the Havok physics system, 'Stranglehold' breathes new life into game environments and characters with stunning graphics. Incredible physics make it possible for everything in the world to be destructible and interactive, allowing for an ever changing battle ground depending on how players approach different situations.
