Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is finally on Steam

Combat Mission Shock Force 2

The latest title in the famous Combat Mission franchise of wargames, now on Steam. Shock Force 2 brings you to a hypothetical conflict in Syria between the forces of NATO and the Syrian Army. Play either on WeGo or Real Time in an incredibly detailed and realistic 1:1 tactical simulation.

If you know about Combat Mission Shock Force 2, then you know that it's a big deal that it's finally arrived on Steam. Battlefront's simulation-heavy wargames have only been available from the developer's official online storefront for years, and not only is Shock Force 2 on Steam now, it's also deeply discounted - another rarity for Battlefront.

For the duration of its first week on Steam, you can pick up Combat Mission Shock Force 2 for 30% off the list price. That puts the base game at $41.99 USD / £32.54 until September 7. Its three DLC packs, which include expansions for NATO Forces, British Forces, and US Marines, remain at their standard price point of $34.99 / £27.79 individually, but you get a 38% discount on the complete set, which reduces the price of Shock Force 2 and all three expansions from $164.96 to $102.86.

That's on the fairly expensive side for a game that's nearly two years old, but Combat Mission Shock Force 2 is a serious piece of wargaming software. It's serious enough that Battlefront does brisk business with professional military trainers around the world, who have used Combat Mission software for various military training purposes over the years.
