 The most realistic modern tactical simulation now comes
to CD, with all the pieces in one awesome package!
One of the most hyper
realistic wargames available, BCT Commander is a real time strategy game
that examines the complexities of fighting on the modern battlefield. Developed
by Patrick Proctor and his team at ProSim, BCT Commander is real enough
to be in use as a senior commander training tool for armies around the world. If
you've ever bemoaned the lack of realism found in most wargames here's your
chance to step up to the plate and see how well you would do in
command.
BCT Commander is more
than a wargame though, it's a complete simulation of land warfare. And what
exactly does that mean? The easiest definition is that a simulation attempts to
create an accurate interpretation of reality without regard to balance issues,
while a game strives for balance more than realism. In BCT Commander
units behave like they do in real life. You won't find perfectly balanced sides,
nor will you find many conventions you're used to in gaming. For example,
ordering a unit to start moving won't see it hitting warp five out of the gate.
In real life military units don't do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds, unlike your typical
RTS game.
This may seem daunting at
first but the rewards gained are immense. Anyone can do a tank rush, but can
they mount a three pronged coordinated attack on a heavily entrenched enemy
position? BCT Commander is a real time strategy game that requires more
brainpower than fingerpower. Victors will emerge not from knowing how to hit the
hotkeys fastest, but knowing what your forces are capable of and what the enemy
can do to those forces.
Speaking of real time, it
should be noted that real time in BCT Commander truly means real time.
One second of gameplay is the equivalent of one second of real world time. What
this means to the player is that he can expect true to life reload times,
artillery barrages that don't arrive instantaneously, troops that take time to
mount and dismount, and much more. In short, BCT Commander's use of real
time is more than just a gimmick, it's an important facet of the simulation
aspect.
BCT Commander includes
the original Brigade Combat Team, both expansion CDs, and the construction set
for creating your own scenarios, all on one CD! Saddle up and see what it's like
to take command of a modern military unit with BCT Commander!
You get BCT,
both Expansion Packs, and the Construction Set all on one
CD.
See why this system is in use
by militaries around the world:
- Commercial, military grade
training simulation that is really in use around the globe by various
militaries. To play something more realistic you'd need Top Secret
clearance!
- Large scale tactical modern
combat, brigade/regimental in size, with maps measuring up to 50 km by 50 km.
Scenarios take place around the world, with Cuba, Russia, North Korea, Iraq, and
the United States National Training Center in California represented.
- Pausable real time gameplay
allows commanders to evaluate the big picture and issue orders while the game is
paused.
- Real time is not just a
phrase, with BCT Commander real time means real time. Units react according to
the length of time it would take to react in the real world.
- Twelve brand new scenarios
in addition to the classic Brigade Combat Team and expansion scenarios. The
construction set allows for the creation of more scenarios.
- Realistic full color
military style maps that allow for several zoom levels. Grid lines, elevation,
phase lines, and terrain features are all represented.
- Units can either be
displayed as standard military icons or more stylized graphical depictions.
- All the major modern AFVs
from American and Russian arsenals, plus numerous other unit types like field
artillery and aircraft. Play as either side.
- Play against live opponents
over the modem, serial port connection, or IPX and TCP/IP. Integrated BCT: Arena
software acts as a ubermatchmaker service. Besides allowing you to easily find
other opponents the Arena software tracks your battle record and allows you to
observe games in progress.
- A hefty, yet highly
readable, electronic manual accompanies BCT Commander, along with online and Web
help. While BCT Commander is a complex game thanks to the manual you'll quickly
earn your stripes.
- Highly realistic, highly
fun, what more could you want?
