Pave Low Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Bohemia Interactive have licensed the use of the Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead game engine to Third-party developer Deep Silver to use for their new game Iron Front - Liberation 1944 *This is entirely Third-party - BIS will not be involved in the development nor publishing of this title This fall, Deep Silver and X1 Software send fans of tactical gameplay and shooters back to 1944 in "Iron Front – Liberation 1944". The location? Southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of that year, when the infantry and tank units of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht engaged in fierce combat. "Iron Front – Liberation 1944" is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive. The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. 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 "Königstiger" 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. Liberation 1944 is due to be available exclusively for the PC in Q4 2011. http://www.deepsilver.com/en/game-view/view/game/accessall/iron-front/ More pictures: http://www.gamershell.com/screenpop.php?id=553452 http://www.gamershell.com/static/screenshots/25558/553450_full.jpg About Deep Silver Deep Silver develops and distributes interactive games for all platforms.

Parabellum Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Looking very spiffy indeed. The added revenue and exposure will, hopefully, be very good for BIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Three words: OH MY GOD! The mods to Arma 2 that take place in WWII are good (extremely good indeed), but a game focused only in that has more appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
