Combat Mission Shock Force
MARINES has Gone Gold
Battlefront.com is thrilled to
announce that the first Module to the Combat Mission Shock Force tactical ground
combat simulation – titled MARINES – has just gone gold! This first expansion
module adds the units, weapons and equipment of the United States Marines Corps
to the game, as well as many additional Syrian forces, such as Syrian Airborne
units. A completely new campaign, many standalone missions and dozens of brand
new Quick Battle maps round out what CMSF: MARINES has to offer!
What does "gone gold" mean? Well,
the game won’t be released tomorrow if that’s what you were thinking! We will
now spend a few days building the final installers, testing them, and preparing
the CDs and printed materials for production. All of this will take a few
additional days.
You still have the opportunity to
PRE-ORDER Combat Mission Shock Force: Marines and profit from the $10 discount
on the "Download & Hardgoods Delivery" option! But hurry! The offer expires as
soon as the game is released!
Once the game switches from
Pre-Order to Release status later this month, you will be able to choose from
three delivery options: Download Only ($25), Hardgoods Only (via mail – $25 plus
S&H), and Download & Hardgoods ($35 plus S&H).
In all cases, ownership of the base
game – Combat Mission Shock Force – is required. It doesn’t matter which version
you own (retail, Battlefront.com etc.) – MARINES will work with all game
versions. If you don’t own CMSF, no worries – we offer a special Bundle version
of the base game + the Marines Module for just $45 as well!
All pre-order customers will be
notified by email a few hours before the official release announcement and will
be able to download the game immediately AND will receive the hardgoods by mail
when available. We are expecting Hardgoods (specifically consisting of: DVD
case, CD, and printed MARINES Manual, including a hotkey chart printed on the
inside cover) to be available 2-4 weeks after the official download release.
While the MARINES module is being
prepared for release, we are also going to finalise a large – no, make that HUGE
– v1.10 patch for the base game CMSF. This v1.10 patch literally brings the game
to another level. It is already fully INCLUDED in the Marines Module (i.e.
Marines module owners will NOT have to patch). The v1.10 is expected to be
released within a few days after the launch of the Marines module and will be
free to all owners of Combat Mission Shock Force, adding many new features,
improvements and even some new units to the game. Watch
www.battlefront.com for
more news about the patch, and the release of the MARINES module!
