GI Combat announced

TalonSoft, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, has announced its upcoming real-time strategy game GI Combat. The game takes place during World War II. It features a 3D environment with detailed terrain, and realistic armor penetration, vehicle movement, and weapons fire. Players assume control of either American or German troops and lead them through a variety of tactical encounters, including beach landings and bridge crossings, in the midst of artillery barrages and heavy tank fire.

The game will feature dozens of historical and hypothetical missions beginning at D-Day and continuing through Patton's breakout from the Normandy beachhead. In addition, a multiplayer mode will support up to 32 players over a LAN or Internet connection.

GI Combat is scheduled for release near the end of this year.
