Close Combat Revisited

[Oct 20, 2006, 8:30 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Close Combat to get new lease on life on GameSpot reveals plans to update the second, third, and fourth installments in Atomic Games' Close Combat series of turn-based strategy games for a new upcoming release. The article features a Q&A with David Heath from publisher Matrix Games and Shaun Wallace from developer CSO Simtek discussing the remake, here's a bit:

There are many reasons to revisit the series now, which I will try to outline here. As a series, Close Combat will be familiar to many older players, but to a large extent, many younger players will be totally unaware of it as a game. This is a game that many publications hold in high regard but many people currently playing PC games will be totally unaware of. There is a large modding community out there which will give a massive boost to the rerelease of the games. With more than 4,000 mods and maps available from full-blown total game conversions to simple data or graphic mods, the series can cover almost every major conflict in recent history.
