About the game

Close Combat: The Bloody First is the latest release in the critically-acclaimed Close Combat series, and the first using the new 3D Archon engine. With this Close Combat: The Bloody First combines classic Close Combat tactical gameplay with battles fought across a wide variety of diverse 3D landscapes including craggy ridgelines, narrow valleys and dense villages. The switch to 3D also allows an increase in the level of detail (e.g. the specific types of ammunition used by each weapon are now modelled) with more realistic movement and projectile physics.

    Game should be renamed to "Close to highway robbery: The Bloody Ripoff!" I am an old close combat fan with endless hours. My friend and I purchased this game to play the co-op grand campaign. The problem despite the graphics being poor, is the game play is buggy. The grand campaign will not save the multiplayer co-op battle to advance to the next level. Game was NO WAY ready for release with a hefty $39.99 price tag.

    Do I recommend this game? Yes, If your looking for a classic close combat game. However, I still have to bring up the fact that this game still feels pretty bare bones. After playing through the entire campaign with the US, I tried to play a campaign as the Germans. And, well, I know its a game about the American division and the fighting it encountered, but if you're going to include the ability to play a German…
