The Regiment (sometimes known as The Regiment: Close-Quarters Counter-Terrorism)[1] is a computer game developed by Kuju London and released by Konami on February 17, 2006.[2] It is based on the Special Air Service, and includes some real-life missions such as the Iranian Embassy siege.[3]
It was released in North America as Terror Strike: Close Quarters Combat by Encore Inc.[1]
Gameplay
[edit]The Regiment allowed up to four players for online multiplayer mode.[4][5]
Development
[edit]The Regiment was announced to be in development on August 20, 2004.[6] The game was developed at the time with Unreal Technology.[4]
Plans to release the game on the Playstation 2 did not push through and was subsequently announced as cancelled.[7] It would have also allowed players to interact online through headset.[8]
Kuju collaborated with actual SAS veterans, including Rhett Butler and John McAleese, in creating the game.[4] The latter acted as the technical advisor to ensure any portrayals of the SAS are done accurately[2] and as the in-game person who debriefs players prior to a mission.[9]
Reception
