The Regiment is a first person shooter in which you control a team of SAS, the principal special forces unit of the British Army. As a tactical shooter, the AI team members can be controlled using a radial menu, with commands such as flashbangs, opening doors, handcuffing hostages or providing cover. Technical advice was provided by former S.A.S. veteran John McAleese and former S.A.S. staff instructor Rhett Butler, who appear in video briefings. The game has four multi-stage scenarios that can be played in singleplayer or co-op: the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege, an IRA bomb-making operation on a farm, a Fedayeen terrorist attack on the London Underground, and a takeover of Parliament by far-right nationalists.
Whilst praised for its room-clearing mechanics and accurate location recreations, an overly-onerous training segment and the short nature of its missions led to poor critical reception. The game was later released in the US under the title Terror Strike: Close Quarters Combat.
The following weapons appear in the video game The Regiment:
Pistols
Beretta 92FS Inox
Browning BDA
The Browning BDA appears frequently in the IRA farm mission.
SIG-Sauer P226
The SIG-Sauer P226 is the player's default starting pistol.
Heckler & Koch Mark 23
Shotguns
Remington 870 Entry Gun
The Remington 870 is used for breaching doors. Its files show it's actually modelled after the Maruzen CA870 airsoft gun.
Sub-machine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
The player starts every mission equipped with some MP5 variant, all with burst modes and straight magazines. The most common one is the MP5A5.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The long foregrip is reminiscent of the Daisy Softair Model, but is more likely a result of taking the MP5A5 mesh and tweaking it to produce an MP5K.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD6
MAC-10
Uzi
Assault Rifles
AK-47
AKS-74U
Heckler & Koch G3SG/1
Mk 18 Mod 0
SIG SG 551
The SG 551 is used heavily by anti-EU nationalists in the Parliament mission. Comes with an ACOG scope and three magazines clipped together.
Steyr AUGA2
The game's AUG uses a Leupold scope and straight magazines.
