I just heard about this game yesterday, saw it on a twitch stream. This fills me of joy so much, this looks like the game i've been waiting for sinds Call of Duty 2. Cause after that, it was all modern warfare crap, wich was fun don't get me wrong but tho's game didn't take REAL skill imo like the older FPS games like MOHAA and COD1. It may not look that good, but it's still VERY early footage so alot may change. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bulkheadinteractive/battalion-1944-pc-xb1-ps4
Nice. Cant wait for a good WWII shooter again. My fav would be openworld with Airborne units, but hey you cant have everything.
As far as i know they're focusing on close quarters like COD2. If this will be good is hard to tell this early, there were quiet a few things in the video bothering me. Like animations and the fire effects coming out of the guns. And there seems to be some wobbly camera while running, cause as far as i know they want to recreate the experience of older WW2 shooters wich didn't had tho's weird camera effects. But the gunplay looks pretty good.
Would be nice to have a good WW2 shooter again. But I'm sure it will end up just like every other game that isn't titled Call of Duty.
Looks good, shame it can't be PC exclusive (probably more a monetary decision than anything else). Let's hope they pull it off
So what would i like to see: -Many different gamemodes -getting on roofs, sniper towers etc. -destroyable environment, shooting on boards they get bulletholes and they break, windows can be shot , trees , anything basicly. -faster animations, it seems slow to me. -bring life to the locations, people closing doors because you pass by , birds flying etc -config files so we will be able to set things like speed, weapon types (maybe bolt rifle only ) -no static props so you can shoot trashcans, chairs, tables. -being able to open/close doors windows and other stuff. -diverse maps , several ways to reach destination , underground maybe even swimming ? So if they are gamers who played a lot of MOHAA , COD and ET they should think of this, or it will be just one of those games which you play once (or not even) and will never again. From what ive seen from the video and i know its alpha it looks very basic and poor gameplay wise. i dont want another dod game.
the animations dont look good and look dated compared to bf4 and cod, shooting mechanics look paper thin, graphics a bit cartoonish the shaders arent realistic.
plus some more , such as 6¦1 lootable gear, weapons and, artillery (when teamed up) 6¦1 throwable everything thats of small size, even empty guns like the SAVING pvt. Ryan closing scene xD 6¦1 trenching and barricading, please 6¦1 bicycles n old army bikes in addition to the jeeps n trucks 6¦1 ROLE-based map like MOBA-mode where several teams have players with various skills, one gunner, sniper, diver-saboteur, tank-tech and a runner )
After watching the video in the op I must say that does look pretty cool... this is certainly on my radar now as a possible game to get.
Looks prtty and very "clean" but soldier animation is pretty bad, they are like wooden people I will definitely keep an eye on this one! been too long since we had WWII FPS
They reached their goal! Lets hope it doesnt turn into one of those "early access" games that never actually gets released
Gonna be the first game I ever back...! (so far they are at £138k, not bad). £15 gets u a key, not bad.
Yeah where is the last part!!! (i think BIA wins it for me just for the fact u could control a small squad).
Yea I'd like to see a decent single player element built in as well. Maybe that would increase interest and therefore sales of the game. I recently replayed MOH Airborne through again and quite enjoyed it. Difficult to believe it was from 2007! Now thinking of playing BIA Hells Highway another time now...
