If you 're looking to make a first person shooter, there are many obstacles in the way. You're going to need to add code to handle multiple weapons and firing modes. You're going to need to tweak the engine for vehicle and turret support. You will need to do a lot of work to get teams and individual character classes worked out.

All added up, it represents many months of work. The Combat Starter Kit team labored for almost a year to make this product a reality. Inside you will find many advanced features not available anywhere else, fully integrated into a single codebase.

It comes with 5 brand new vehicles (2 helicopters, a humvee, tank, and Heavy Ground Transport), 8 weapons, 1 fully animated player model, many .dif files and all source code.

This kit is ready for you to purchase, drop in your custom art, and begin working on your game.
