Iron Front: Liberation 1944

When they hit the Pz IV and it flips over is when I finally got interested.

No actually this is from the makers of ArmA 2, it's Bohemia Interactive for sure.

Go look at Take on Helicopters, ArmA 2, ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead, and ArmA 3.

I also know because it has the command bar. Did I mention it will have Run Neintys?

It's not from the makers of ArmA/ArmA2 (Bohemia Interactive), it's being published and developed by Deep Silver (Dead Island, Risen series) and using the engine from Arma2.  Bohemia Interactive are the distributors.

It looks like an interesting game, comes out next week and features 2 single player campaigns that can also be played co-op and has multiplayer modes like capture the flag.  Going to keep an eye on it and will probably check it out when it's released.

Ya gotta think there will be Track IR support with it. Might be worth looking into.

     It does look interesting.  I have to wonder about the Tiger tactics though....'Let's drive over the crest of the hill, then turn our flanks
and rear to the bad guys!"  <Boom> Bub-bye King Tiger tank.

It uses the ArmA II Operation Arrowhead engine and plays almost the same as ArmA (with improvements here and there). It's an all round military simulator - land, sea and air. It looks to be pretty similar to the Invasion 1944 mod for ArmA II but on the Eastern front and made into its own standalone game.

The AI can be a little strange at times, especially tank crews. They don't seem to have any sense of armoured warfare but luckily it has a full in game editor so you can tell them what to do.

Here's a couple videos of tank warfare in the Invasion 1944 mod, Iron Front should be very similar to this (using the same engine) but will have major improvements, like taking into account the armour thickness, sloping and shell velocity which ArmA II tries to do but fails in the end.

I bought this game yesterday and it does not disappoint! It has some bugs and can seem amateurish (some English translations are exceptionally poor) but the gameplay is brilliant. Tank warfare is great, everything is taken into account. Where you hit the tank, armour thickness, shell velocity, armour sloping, everything. Infantry combat is also great, good bullet physics and realistic damage with squad based tactics. Air combat can be difficult at times but works out well and you can really feel a kick from the cannons. My biggest criticism would be the gun sounds, they just sound too weak.

For anyone who is in it for tanks/aircraft, here's what you get (can't remember full names/models without checking the game);

Germany:

Panzer IV
Panther
StuG III
King Tiger

Surprisingly no Tiger tank.

Soviet Union:

T-34/76
T-34/85
SU-85
IS-2

Aircraft;

Germany:

FW-190
Stuka

Soviet Union:

P-39
PE-2

I should also add that both the single player campaigns are very well done and seem pretty lengthy. You will find yourself climbing the ranks as you progress. Both are set in the same battle with "For the Fatherland" putting you in the shoes of a German rifleman. You'll find yourself trying to halt seemingly endless waves of Soviet soldiers from trenches and other dug in areas.

"For the Motherland" will see you play the role of a Soviet sub-machinegunner and is a fast paced campaign that puts you on the attack.

Multiplayer is also good. There are many game modes from capture the flag, co-op scenarios, team eathmatches to giant aerial furballs with up to 40 aircraft.

There is an option on the main meni for "expansions" so DLC is almost definitely assured.

Steam has it for $26.99 so I bought it. BF3 was such a let down, let alone COD, that I'll never pay that kinda money for a game again. In BF3 there are so many ways to get your tank killed you feel like they are ziplock baggie tanks, use once and throw away. ARMA's are good games but I never had that kinda time to put into a sim like that and my main interest is WW2 anyway. A Sunday and it'll probably take all day to download but I'll give Iron Front a try. It'll be kind of nice to play an eastern front game.

I've not had this problem yet but I have done in the past with ArmA II. It tends to be because your system is overstressing on a certain process. Try toning down the graphics a little (even if you have a great computer).

I've spent most of my time in the editor making up my own little scenarios. Good fun.

Been fiddling with it all afternoon.  Crashes happen regardless of video settings.  I've tried the absolute lowest settings it offers.  By the way, I easily run games like Skyrim and Rise of Flight with very high settings.  This game is buggy apparently.  Too bad really, seems like it might be fun if it was playable.

Actually World of tanks is putting in a better physics engine in the upcoming updates where you can flip over and be rammed off the sides of cliffs or if your just stupid you can fall down them :D

From what I hear, not a whole lot people play multiplayer on it. So it's going to be co-op and SP mostly. If you want realistic WW2 action, try Red Orchestra 2. The GOTY sale just ended but IMO, it's still worth it. Lots of fun, graphics are decent but not great. Realistic bullets, physics, tank model. My only complaint is the animations are either jittery or laggy when looking at other players. It doesn't affect gameplay but it's somewhat of an eyesore. Gameplay is a 10/10 though and more than make up for it.

Me and Dolby went on a rampage the other day in a tank (you can man a tank with other players) and took turns driving and manning the guns. Fun stuff.  :aok

Post by: TGG93 on May 28, 2012, 09:15:11 PM
Both Red Orchestra games are great, I did enjoy playing them but they are a little limited in what you can do.

Here's a little more Iron Front for anyone who cares.

If anyone wants to play RO2 with me and some friends, let me know.

Steam: maddog4u31757

I love me some RO2 and with the new patch - @_@

I pre-ordered RO2 when it came out.

As far as the game goes bug-wise. You guys need to chill. The game is fresh. Hell, even AH has bugs in every patch. Give them some damn credit.  :rolleyes:

Will do, add myself too. Steam: Warinstar

But I only play only classic and some times realism, never bothered with action.

The first main patch that is supposed to be released this week only addresses the issues with multiplayer/online and is not going to address the other issues with the game such as the constant crash to desktop issues in single player.  That issues and an assortment of others will be fixed in another patch.
