It was picked up by Shrapnel Games in 2000 and spawned the follow-on products, BCT Expansion Pack 1 & 2 and BCT Construction Kit. Just before the roll out of ProSIM's second generation engine, Armored Task Force, the game and all of its expansions were repackaged as a single product and, along with a number of upgrades, renamed BCT Commander. The game was also, for the first time, sold as a physical product rather than as a download.[2]
