Chrome = Advanced Battlegrounds

Update: This story originally presumed this to be the Specforce expansion, but the EB Games listing for this game puts the shipping date at 12/13/04, so it looks likely that this is actually the renamed version of the original Chrome. This DreamCatcher Games Page (thanks Frans) has details and screenshots from Advanced Battlegrounds: The Future of Combat, either the new name for Techland's shooter Chrome, or the follow-up formerly known by the working title Chrome SpecForce (story) when it was to be published by Strategy First. Here's how the project is described:

Grab your choice from over 20 destructive hi-tech weapons including heavy machine guns, rocket launchers and plasma rifles as you set out to seek-and-destroy your enemy once and for all. Take control of awesome vehicles like four-wheelers, speeder bikes and giant mech-robots as you battle across gigantic landscapes, huge air masses and vast oceans.

Chrome was underrated IMO. part of the problem with it was it was marketed as a fast-paced Unreal style of game when in reality it was a slowish paced tactical shooter that actually had quite a bit of depth. Of course it wasn't perfect, the voice acting is horrific and the character modeling/animation is stiff and ungainly compared with the gorgeous terrain rendering engine. Oh, and as cool as the multiplayer sounds with the different weapons, mechs and other vehicles, in reality its just dull dull dull.

All in all though, as a bargain bin title I highly recommend it.
