Promised as the "most authentic down-the-barrel experience of WW2", Battalion 1944 is a game a lot of people have been waiting for. Bulkhead Interactive have also promised us it will be free of many things that annoy players about FPS games, and that's a result in itself if they can deliver on it.
From GI.biz: "Battalion 1944 developer Bulkhead Interactive has split with its publisher, Square Enix Collective.
In a message shared on Steam, the studio said it has "formally ended" its relationship with Square Enix and that it was "deeply disappointed that Battalion 1944 never made it to console."
Kickstarter backers will be refunded and Battalion: Legacy, a "revisited and final version of Battalion 1944" will be released for free on Steam on August 16."
"Square Enix just informed me that they have released the 12 month free content roadmap for Bulkhead Interactive's WWII FPS MMO game "Battalion 1944"." - Robin Ek, TGG.
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."
The jumping in this game is priceless, no thanks, all these games are the same, worse than the bitch rolling you see
in Battlefront 2.
Roll on Post Scriptum and Hell Let Loose.
