David Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix
Games, said of the release, “Close Combat fans are receiving a beautiful new New
Year’s gift with this latest update, thanks to the continuing hard work of the
development team. With plenty of new squads and vehicles to command, your
tactical options have just increased dramatically!”

Andrew Williams of Strategy 3 Tactics also added,
“The Close Combat – Modern Tactics staff worked extra hard to make sure this
update could be all that it could be. We’re very pleased to be presenting such a
substantial increase in new gameplay elements in addition to the regular
improvements that come with an update.”

Close Combat: Modern Tactics combines classic top
down real time tactical warfare with the excitement of multiplayer head to head
gaming. Developed from the US Marines training simulation, Close Combat Marines,
you get to take command of all types of modern battlefield weaponry including
Abrams tanks and Soviet-made RPGs as well as air, helicopter and artillery
support. This is serious gaming at its best.

You take command of modern US forces or various
opposition forces in one of 25 scenarios included with the release. Engage in
combat with up to 5 players per side and participate in intense head to head
battles using Modern Era weaponry and equipment on gorgeous hand-drawn maps
measuring from 1km square to giant 4km x 1km maps. Fight on hypothetical
battlefields ranging in style from backwoods America to the streets of Iraq and
the former Soviet republics. You face all the enemy can throw at you in a series
of immersive, action-packed engagements that will test your tactical abilities!
Air and artillery support are on-call but the final objective can only be
secured by Close Combat. You are in command!
