Experience Modern Warfare in Combat Mission Shock Force 2

Immerse yourself in the intense realism of Combat Mission Shock Force 2, the latest installment in the acclaimed Combat Mission franchise. This tactical wargame places you in a hypothetical modern conflict in Syria, pitting NATO forces against the Syrian Army in challenging asymmetric warfare scenarios.

Take command of US Stryker Brigade Combat Teams (SBCT) and Heavy Brigade Combat Teams (HBCT), maneuvering them across arid landscapes against Syrian Army Infantry, Mechanized, and Armored units. Face a wide spectrum of contemporary threats, including irregular combat forces, terrorists, spies, suicide bombers, and the ever-present danger of IEDs. Engage in the Task Force Thunder campaign, experience handcrafted battles, or create your own scenarios with the Quick Battle system.

Tactical Gameplay and Strategic Depth

Detailed missions with diverse objectives await, offering strategic challenges at every turn. Choose between Real-Time or the innovative WeGo turn-based system, allowing for simultaneous planning and execution. The WeGo system is perfect for email (PBEM) or "hotseat" multiplayer. Compete head-to-head in RealTime or WeGo modes via LAN or Internet. The Quick Battle system offers extensive replayability, enabling players to customize their forces and fight across various battlefields. The robust map and scenario editor empowers you to design and share unique battles and campaigns.

Unparalleled Realism in Unit Representation

Units are meticulously portrayed in 1:1 scale with highly detailed, high-resolution 3D models, featuring articulated suspensions and animated components for enhanced realism. Combat Mission distinguishes itself by combining real-world physics with thoroughly researched military portrayals, accurately depicting everything down to individual soldier loadouts. Advanced vehicle damage modeling accurately tracks subsystem damage, providing incredibly realistic ballistics, armor, and post-armor effects.

Experience the importance of "soft factors" like Experience, Morale, and Leadership, which profoundly affect unit behavior at the individual soldier level. This depth sets Combat Mission apart, as these crucial elements are often overlooked in other games. In the real world, superior weapons are meaningless without the soldiers to effectively wield them.

Behind-the-Scenes Simulation

Weapon penetration and armor protection are based on granular real-world data and scientific algorithms, eliminating arbitrary "hitpoints" or simplified resolution tables. The advanced Tactical AI (TacAI) authentically models the psychological state and natural characteristics of each soldier, enabling true-to-life battlefield behavior.

The simulation of individual soldiers enables Relative Spotting, in which each soldier has a unique view of the battlefield, thereby realistically simulating Fog of War. Combined with an in-depth simulation of Command and Control (C2), which realistically portrays the flow of information between units, the game provides a highly believable battlefield simulation. Together, these elements ensure a realistic battlefield experience with a visceral 3D environment that keeps players engaged for countless hours.
