14 DAY TRIAL // Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is a long and pretentious name for a game that's part of such a common genre: wargaming. However, Shock Force 2 is more than just a war game, as the “Professional” version of the game is used to train the military in the UK.
Fans of the genre will be able to train themselves as well starting this month since Combat Mission Shock Force 2 comes out on PC on August 25. Publisher Slitherine has teamed up with Battlefront to bring Combat Mission Shock Force 2 to third-party digital stores. The game will be released later this month along with all its DLCs: Marines, British Forces and NATO (including German, Canadian and Dutch forces).
“We are genuinely proud and excited to bring Combat Mission Shock Force 2 to a brand-new audience. Battlefront’s unrivaled modern era 3D wargame will now be available to a much broader player base. Our community at Matrix Games forms the backbone of online wargaming. Marketing and distributing a modern classic like Combat Mission is a sign of how relevant our presence in the market has become,” said Marco A. Minoli, Marketing Director at Slitherine.
Combat Mission Shock Force 2 lets players take command of a NATO force in a hypothetical modern-day Syrian conflict. The game uses a 3D graphics engine to offer players an unprecedented level of realism and detail, so much that the game is used in several professional military environments for training and analysis purposes as we've already mentioned.
The game starts by allowing players to assign orders to their units, either in real-time or with the innovative turn-based WeGo system. Veterans of the genre might want to know that Shock Force 2 focuses on tactical platoon-level action, and features both a single-player campaign and multiplayer.
