‘Battalion 1944’ takes the FPS genre back to its World War II roots
SUMMARY
It seems like it's been a long time since there was a decent World War II shooter-game, but Battalion 1944 may put an end to that.
This multiplayer World War 2 shooter is in the works for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. And from the looks of the official announcement trailer (see above), it looks promising.
Players can fight in real world locations such as the streets of Carentan, the forests of Bastogne and many more in what a company release calls "a spiritual successor to the great multiplayer shooters of the past."
Bulkhead Interactive reports, "In short, Battalion 1944 is an infantry based first person shooter with an emphasis on raw skill. No grinding, no 'exosuits', just you and your skill as a player. Battalion 1944 utilizes the most advanced industry technology to create a visceral and heart-thumping multiplayer experience that has been crafted by the designers who have grown up playing Medal of Honor and Call of Duty 2."
Bulkhead Interactive was seeking $145,000 in crowdfunding on Kickstarter to get the project off the ground. The goal was reached after only two days.
