In this game, Mantel soldiers make use of Nectar, a performance-enhancing pharmaceutical drug that grants the user with enhanced speed, accuracy and strength. Mantel uses this drug to control the minds of all its soldiers. When administered, "Nectar" can control among other things what a soldier sees, similar to the effects of a hallucinogenic drug. It makes enemies the only real thing soldiers see, and drowns out the surrounding images of death and destruction. An overdose of the Nectar is very dangerous resulting in the loss of mental control and death being , its possible side-effects.
Rebel soldiers may go in to a Play Dead state just before they are killed, allowing them to regenerate their health. In addition, they have been given the capability to exploit Mantel's dependence on nectar by attacking the nectar injector and extracting nectar to use on throwing knives from dead Mantel troopers and using the injector to create nectar grenades. They can also steal a Mantel trooper's gun, and bury grenades in the ground as mines.
Weapons - Haze includes weapons such as pistols, assault rifles, mini guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, laser guns, flamethrowers and rocket launchers. The game also includes knives and grenades.
Plot
This game revolves around Mantel Global Industries, a multinational corporation with bio-medical expertise. This has led to the development of Nova-Keto-Thyrazine - also called Nectar, a nutritional supplement that enables soldiers to fight harder and smarter, but also induces a hallucinogenic effect, where soldiers are no longer cognizant of the real battlefield around them, instead viewing an idyllic, painless environment.
The game takes place over a three day period as Mantel battles a guerrilla group, known as 'The Promised Hand', with the player assuming the role of Shane Carpenter, a 25 year old Mantel soldier.Later on Shane Carpenter witnesses the effect of Nectar on his fellow soldiers, and after a twist in the storyline Shane then turns rogue and teams up with the rebels to capture Mantel.
