New screens of Close Combat: Cross of Iron remake

Talk about a blast from the past. Still remember Atomic Game’ and Microsoft‘s Close Combat series, a.k.a. “Zerg-rushing = suicide”? In case you don’t (young whippersnapper), it’s a Real-Time Tactics (RTT) game you play from the squad-to-company level, where the units are historically researched and intricately modeled with morale, psychology, and endurance so you can’t play it stupidly, i.e., rushing an infantry horde at a machine gun nest.

Well, Destineer purchased Atomic Games – and hence the series – and has partnered with Matrix Games to produce a remake of sorts, updated to current generation specs. Hey, it’s been six years since the last one. Close Combat: Cross of Iron must be based on the third Close Combat game, as both are based on the same campaigns in World War II: the Russian campaigns between the Nazis and the Soviet Union. Screens from WorthPlaying abound.
