If this isn't the first time combining RTS and FPS, it's certainly one of the early attempts. Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger will be out this autumn for the Xbox 360 and PC, developed by Atomic Motion.

The game puts players in control of two groups of mercenary squads who crash land behind enemy lines in the Amazon. Each of the eight squad members has distinctive skills and weaponry the player must make wise use of in order to progress through the game's story driven objectives.

More details on the FPS/RTS elements are below.

Raven Squad sets itself apart by allowing players to switch freely between real-time strategy and first-person shooter gameplay. Only by mastering both of these modes of play, and becoming adept at switching between the two, will players make it out of the jungle alive.

"Raven Squad combines two extremely popular genres into a single robust experience where either gameplay mode could stand on its own merits," said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. "Atomic Motion is creating something that's visually compelling and building new boundaries in what a military title can accomplish. Fans of both RTS and FPS games are going to love it, as will anyone who enjoys intense, action titles."
