Ground Control is one of the first full 3D Real Time Strategy games released in a year 2000 by Siera Entertainment. Story takes us in 25th century after mankind rebuild itself from nuclear war that destroyed everything. Humanity became more civilized and started to colonize other planets. On one particular planet called Krig 7-B an alien artifact of immense power was found and that engaged new power struggle between two factions in the game, Crayven Corporation and religious sect Order of the Dawn.
There is no base building in this game, it is all about tactics and using terrain for your advantage. Units for the first time ever had firing arcs, and you could see the artillery shots flying through the air realistically. Missions start from the dropship that can be loaded with the troops of several categories like infantry, vehicles, support and aircraft. It is encouraged to preserve your units and redeploy them more experienced and stronger for other missions. Every unit has it's strenghts and weaknesses and this is where this game shines the most, specially when you add the veterancy to the mix, the battles can be very fun if you know all the tactics. 2nd game was even better.
