Looks promising, an infantry focused and skill based FPS in the WW2 setting for PC, Xbox & Playstation.

Built for gamer by gamers without filthy publishers pulling the strings..

Seen this on Facebook today can't wait as I just downloaded cod 2 on steam the other week to re live the glory days of gaming.

Looks okay. Really hope it turns out to be something decent.

Hate how COD has gone so far from what it started as, and subsequently haven't put hours into one since Black Ops. And Battlefield doesn't seem keen on going back to WWII.

The thing I'm most looking forward to and what I dislike about most current shooters is the fact that there will be no weapon upgrades and advantages depending on the amount of hours you put in. Even playing field from the get go where your skill and tactics are more important than broken modifications on weapons.

Yeah I backed it at the Sergeant Founder level (50 Pound) yesterday.

I haven't kickstarted many digital games (mainly do board games) but this looks the good so far!

From the kickstarter page the access should be sometime so. They have it listed as "during the kickstarter campaign" so maybe a couple weeks.

Its also coming to steam early access

Interesting.

Looks amateurish IMO.

Tell us why you think that.

The graphics look clunky & a bit pre historic IMHO

Gameplay itself is more important than graphics IMO.

I read the picture wrong. Closed internal Alpha is currently going on and Alpha for the backers is later

 

[silverscope]

oh and they are upto $170,000 pounds with 24 days to go. The way this is trending I wouldn't be surprised to see it get upwards of $400,000 by the end.

 

[ioppolo]

170,000 pounds is around 350k AUD. Fair effort.

Add to that they are providing 100k (pounds) of their own money towards the project so currently the total combined amount sits at around $550,000 AUD (after conversion)

I don't get the hype.

 

[Sixpence]

I don't get the hype.

I suppose it depends on if you're a fan of WW2 shooters or not.

I played an absolute shitload of Day of Defeat:Source, which was an awesome game. This looks like an updated version of that. Looks great!

I think I'm over shooters in general.

I think heaps of people just want a straight forward shooter without the bullshit.

CoD guys all say just remake CoD4 and Battlefield guys are the same with BC2.
Both those games were more skill focused with tiny unlock trees and rewarding gameplay. Both games were the last before the respective developers tried to "out full re ****" each other by bloating their titles with endless unlocks, unnecessary & frustrating gadgets, maps that are average at best, and most importantly bloated netcode which makes consistent hit registration more like a lottery.

Shit


Good

If they need to put the title in a WW2 setting to make the lack of bullshit attachments and gadgets work logically, then so be it.

 

[Trav26]

Decided to jump on board pledged the Sargent founder pc pack can't wait for the alpha release now

That is pretty much what I'm looking forward to the most. An even playing field where your skill as a player is more important than the upgrades and mods you get for playing for X amount of hours.
