Story:

Iron Front ? Liberation 1944 is set in Southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of that year, when the infantry and tank as well as aircraft units of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht engaged in fierce combat. It was the first time in history that the "K?nigstiger" tanks fought with the powerful JS2 soviet tanks.

The Germans? objective is clear ? consolidate and regroup the remaining troops, stop the Red Army?s advance at all cost, or at least slow it down. As a Red Army soldier, the task less complex, but no less challenging: Break the resistance to enable an attack on Germany. Starting out as a simple soldier on either side, you will experience nerve-wracking, tactical combat ? always caught between your orders from your senior, and reality on the battlefield. In the course of the story, both protagonists will be promoted to command tanks and even fighter planes in addition to their own troops. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or "K?nigstiger" and the Russian Stalin tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf 190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

Online is where the battle really heats up in "Iron Front ? Liberation 1944": Players can either complete missions cooperatively or compete with each other in special multiplayer modes such as "Capture the Flag" or "Attack and Defense". "Iron Front ? Liberation 1944" also includes an extensive mission editor, enabling players to intuitively create their own missions and share them with their friends online, thus guaranteeing that there will never be a shortage of new missions.

Looks pretty cool :). But as much as I enjoyed playing ww2 games, its a pretty exhausted area of gaming now :(

WWI is the great unexplored area of gaming. There's so much there; the dawn of aviation, trench raids, submarine warfare, the first tanks, the last cavalry... and there's bugger all in terms of games. Silly.

Meh, if It's powered by Arma's engine, it will be more simulator rather than fun game play. If you like sprawling tank battles, sure I guess it would be fun, but speaking from my Arma2 experience, you will be dead in the water after 2 hits, or perhaps on fire after 1.


The airborne infantry concept would be pretty cool though, if BI used their Arma2 engine it will definitely have some awesome flying.

I would wait for this instead:

ARMA 3 looks great as well. Can't wait!

it's gonna suck soulzz likes it

Oh shutup :P.
