Marines To Train Via Close Combat
In an effort to make the most realistic game possible, Destineer enlisted the help of the United States Marine Corps to ensure their upcoming title, Close Combat: First to Fight, mirrored urban combat as accurately as possible. In exchange for this participation, Destineer will be providing the Marine Corps with an enhanced version of the title to help facilitate in urban combat training. "There is no guesswork on how to make the games realistic since we are developing First to Fight with significant input from Marines who, just weeks before, were being shot at in Iraq and Afghanistan," said Peter Tamte, president of Destineer. Set for release on Xbox, Windows, and Mac platforms later this year, Close Combat: First to Fight is a team-based first-person shooter set to recreate the recent urban warfare in the Middle East.Source: http://www.gamerfeed.com
