From GameWatcher: "Battalion 1944 is a WW2 first-person shooter that's come out at just the right time, since there's little in the way of competition in this particular niche at the moment. Plenty of people are looking into optimising the game's sometimes spotty performance, too, but the game's obscure graphical options, such as use forward renderer aren't that simple to figure out.
Battalion 1944 use forward renderer is a very particular graphical setting that doesn't work in a very intuitive way, so let us describe what it does and how."
Game was boring AF in the beta. Pass on this one.
Billed by the developers as "the most authentic, down the barrel experience of WW2" in the original Kickstarter video but its full of bunny hopping and jumping around corners no-scoping. Graphically its poor, a downgrade from the Kickstarter video's. Doesn't feel like CoD2 or MOH that the developers cite as being inspiration for the game. Its just a fast paced arena shooter - Quake with WW2 guns
