Jagged Alliance 2 Source Code Released

kovi writes "You might remember that game - it was ported to Linux a while ago (by Tribsoft) and is one of the 'overall top sellers' at Tux Games. Well, according to this press release from Strategy First, the newest mod for JA2, 'Wildfire,' will include full source code of the original retail release! It might not be the biggest news, and it might not even matter, but it is not very frequent in the gaming industry that source code gets released." No word on what's included with the source release, but the game's been out for a week now, so likely someone with a copy knows more. S! Apparently, the Bear's Pit Forums are discussing the code as we speak, including why shooting cows is bad.

Jagged Alliance 2 is a iso-metric view tactical squad based strategy game with some RPG elements along the lines of X-Com UFO: Defense and Laser Squad but with an off-beat personality. It's got a vast array of weapons, some deep gameplay, great voice work and a wicked sense of humour. The AI isn't great, but it's definitely worth a look especially if you enjoyed X-Com.
