MacSoft ships Close Combat

MacSoft today began shipping , the highly anticipated game title that is based on a training tool developed for the US Marine Corps. The authentic military simulation will "show you exactly what a Marine fire team leader goes through in today’s urban combat. [It] gives players the unique opportunity to experience the effects of their leadership on the psychology of the enemies. Using this psychology model, the air and ground assets, and the authentic formations your men automatically follow allow players an entirely new experience. We wanted to go beyond accurate weapons and vehicle models, we wanted to model the driving force of war, the human will to fight." It will be available in retail outlets later this week for both Mac OS X and Xbox for $40 (with the Windows version expcted to ship on April 19th).
