Gameplay

In Comanche 4 the player pilots the Comanche RAH-66. The game offers 6 single player campaigns with 30 missions total in which the player takes part in various military conflict around the globe. Multiplayer supports up to 16 players on LAN and through the Internet. The game also features a mission editor allowing players to create their own environment and objectives.

Development

There was a strong focus on game visuals during development. Earlier Comanche titles used voxel technology but developers switched to a polygon based engine for graphics improvement. Georgina Petrie from NovaLogic explained: "The evolution of graphics cards has allowed us to do some amazing effects. Dust flying up, trees swaying, water spraying, it's all there.

There isn't another game out there that has this level of rotor wash effects." IGN staff also pointed out the shadow effects adding to the level of detail.
