Not played but interested to see how active it will become

I'm hoping it will take off like OW but I don't know.

If it does I want to play it but will wait and see

If it plays anything like COD 2 then it'll be a winner.

Looks good. Might give it a try.

would be cool if they had a mode where it was like RTCW, completing objectives and having roles for a 5v5 game. maybe that will come once post release comes.

did u try dirty bomb?

its a fast past paced game with objectives and it has hitbeeps
but it has crappy airstrikes and shit :/

yes i have, but i want something ww2 related

Gotta say that WW2 + bunny hopping like ET looks kina weird but I like it :P

For me it looks like cod/cs mix like cod2 promod with matchmaking.

iirc some former cod2/4 pros are working on the game, should be interesting

btw. shroud said in that video that he really like this game and he plan to play this game at least once a day ;)

And we all know shroud is God's gift to fps gaming...

Sarcasm?

Not really, but he can probably bring much more people to the game than any quaker...

I was replying to CrazyAl but yes, he can bring a massive audience across, I mean DrDisrespect, Shroud and Sum1t garner massive viewerships on a daily basis on top of that they produce entertaining content. The games they play are also a lot more spectator friendly to watch where Quake is about as interesting as the player itself, especially if it's duel because you can't really fuck around and entertain and expect to win high level duels.

I've been saying it for years, if Quake players made some interesting content, small little edits about dumb shit happening in games it'd be so much more interesting. Look at Dotawatafak channel for example.

A lot of people don't understand Dota but they watch those videos because they're hilarious and you actually learn something about the game when watching it.

I replied to CrazyAl ;)

But yeah. I fully agree with you. But not sure if any arena shooter can bring bigger audience even with big marketing and streamers. Quake champions... Or... New Unreal Toutnament. You can play it but nobody is talking about it. Pretty dead genre because of many factors.

Most of young people dont understund arena shooters. They think about it like " mindless shooting jumping ffa" bla bla. Also in other games they are learning about winning only, factors which can be stressfull are minimum. Competitive quake or starcraft is really stressful ;) much older guys remember quake actually ;)

Only dota 2 seems to be quite skilled and more unforgiving. But still as team based game is much easier to handle stress ;)

Looks boring as fuck.
Empty pew pew pew on small maps.
Much hype.

Not sure if we can get anything better i our times... ;)

Looks exactly like cod 2/4

Looks interesting. Gonna give it a bash.

95% kar acc?

You don't misss

Damn straight son.

Kar98 all the way.

instagib much?

Does it have FFA?

Well, does it?

Now i I think it has:
Wartide (Competitive); Capture The Flag ( Arcade); Domination (Arcade); Team Deathmatch (Arcade).

But probably a matter of time. CS, CoD has it.


Edit:
"Choose your side as US forces take on the German war machine, and delve into various modes including some old favourites - Domination, Capture the Flag, Free For All and Team Deathmatch."

It reminds me of CoD 2 or the Half-Life mod Day of Defeat from the little I saw in the video. I had some fun in both of those games in the past, back when CoD was a good multiplayer game. I do enjoy a good WW2 or 1 shooter but there haven't been many lately. Both the CoD and Battlefield series have gone downhill for a long time now imo :/

I didn't know about this game, will definitely have to try it.

Last CoD probably don't have ranked competitie matchmaking. Battlefield might be fun but... It is just too random. I prefer Red Orchestra 2 or Rising Storm Vietnam etc. Better atmosphere.

Most popularity now have games like battle royale like pubg, but meh. Actually Escape from Tarkov looks interesting.

I almost bought Tarkov but god fucking knows how long it will be in beta.

Fucking miltary shit. No way.

Nice I had great times with cod 2 and DoD back in the day will definitely give this a shot. Been looking for something fun to play for 30-40 min in the middle of the night when i should be sleeping

this shit looks awesome, and from what i read on twitch and some forums the game is basicly a mixture of cod2 and cod4 promod

edit:EA 1st feb, 15€

Only watched some games on Twitch.

But looks to me like they took the things I dislike from CoD and the things I hate from CS, and combined it in a "new" game.

Certainly didn't look like it was "fast paced" and "action packed".

Which things you dislike from cod and cs?

Actually most people think that csgo is fast paced lolz...

But actually CS was always more wooden than CoD but less skilled :p

One question: Can you shoot whilst running and still hit where your crosshair is?

While sprinting the weapon is hidden. So you need to stop for a sec, but looks quite fluent. There is very little recoil so I think its quite easy to jump shot or no scope etc.

Didn't played but this is how it looks on video in 1st post.

not a single fresh idea in this game, i played this thousands of times already in in medal of honor/cod/whateverWW2shit

its like fapping on ur ex photos, not worth

well, it depends.

what if ur ex hooked up with ur another ex and had, dunno, pillow fight in shower in slo-mo?

and these old games are pretty dead... and lack of features like matchmaking etc.

But will it have some fun movement?
Or just circumcised circle jump?

its UE4 so I'm afraid there will be no quake glithes/features there.
Also... arena shooters are quite dead... unfortunately...

actually most popular shooters are now quite random...

I thought it was made in previous UE... It looks like it :D

naaaah... UE3 looks much worse than Battalion 1944 :P

like this crap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWkwiCk8LIo :P

*phew*
Everything got better... apart from character models :^)

Now Available on Steam Early Access
http://store.steampowered.com/app/489940/BATTALION_1944/
http://steamcharts.com/app/489940

so... we can buy it now.

its pure garbage and another hype game.

refunding.

Explain to us why.

can't see the hype.

61% score on Steam.

So the same as the recent reviews of QC.

Most of the negative reviews are about server issues and the game is in alpha stage.

This review is interedting:
"COD2 and COD4 Promod feeling is already there.
Some more balancing and tweaks will make this game so perfect and will cater to fans of FPS games that haven't been made for a while.

Battalion 1944 launched into Early Access february 1st and got a lot of players spamming the servers.
This made them step up their game and fix a lot of serverside stuff.
Dedicated servers is sooo refreshing to see. Oldschool rifle only 24/7 PUBS are going to be back, Used to play 1000ths of hours in COD2 by just scrimming.

Modding tools will also be a thing which will see new gamemodes and maps on dedicated servers
Freedom of tweaking the options is marvellous! I love that you can change literally everything, DEDI serverside also has everything customisable.

This Indie Studio also fully goes for the competitive outlook. They also added matchmaking which is a huge thing for an indie studio to get in your game. The lads working on this are very transparent and very down to earth, their loose sometimes (unprofessional) approach is also very nice to see, gives you a less distanced feel to them.

For me this is the true successor of COD2. And I have not enjoyed any FPS game since those games 13 years ago.
Can't wait to see what one year early access development will bring to the table!
Back for the grind and fun!"

1) Can you shoot while moving without much accuracy loss/huge spray?
2) Is it properly optimized for non hi-end PCs?
3) How is netcode? Is there some kind of ping correction/zeroping etc?
4) Any ppl in FFA?
5) Anything like bhop? (highly doubt it but still mb at small extend)
