Close Combat: The Bloody First opens its gates for Beta!

How come the silhouette for Staff Sergeant Sullivan makes him to appear to be "heavy"? Reminds me of the Sergeant in Saving Private Ryan. [:D]

Next wave anytime soon? *Wink, wink* [:)]

I have not idea. But it is the process usually used by Matrix/Slitherine. You must have pacience. Anyway they are searching people playing the game and making reports saying at least their opinions, if they find bugs and they report them, better.

People which they were in other beta and they made more than get the game, to play it one day and forget it. They usually have more chances from be accepted in other beta.

Finally! And judging by the screenshots, it seems that it has been worthwhile to wait for so long.

The Close Combat Facebook page announced signups for the Beta again 4 hours ago. But I've previously signed up since the Alpha, but never received any emails. I tried to sign up again, but I get the error that I already signed up. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.

Same issue.

[PipFromSlitherine]

We tend to add people to the beta gradually. If you have already signed up then please be patient, we will send out emails as we add people to the test group over time.

Cheers

Pip

I have already applied so the website says... again
Applied for both Alphas. Have a long history way back to Sulla and close combat.org. Loved gold juno sword mod for close combat the best. Been following the bloody first since it was announced. Loving steed division 2 at the moment. Also own most of the combat mission games.

Is it possible for you guys to use the close combat 1 sound affects? I think they were the best and I am having fits of nostalgia for them at the moment ... I remember one buddy of mine somehow got the sounds from the demo and used them as his windows sounds... open a folder and you got machine gun fire. Was so damned annoying.


Some features I liked:
* Multiplayer allows for Co-Op play vs. the AI
* New sound effects
* For the first time the armed forces of Italy appear in an official release
* 1 Grand Campaign, 3 Theatre Campaigns (Tunisia, Sicily and Normandy), 11 Operations and 36 battles
* Completely revised 3D that bring a whole new look and feel to the classic Close Combat gameplay. The new 3D engine allows an increased level of detail (down to the the specific types of ammunition used by each weapon) and more realistic movement and projectile physics.

[StuMcGru]

I played the originals many years ago before I had children, so chuffed to see this launched again.

Also as an amateur WW2 Historian, if anything I can do to help the testing, gladly put my first gaming soldier boot forward ! [8D]

Love the close combat series....played first time when i was in school...now im 35 years old and i still want to play and feel the same emotion . i hope they managed to do a descent job(as always) and keep the realstic effects as real as possible with the 3d rendering as good as it was with the old ones..

[Mirek69]

There is hope for a beta key ? Please...

[joelind]

So happy

Yes, it's the best tactical game for me, I follow this series until 1998; I hope that designers made a multiple game scenario like in Cross of Iron.

For strategic game, World in Flames is the best!!!
