Still, it’s very rough around the edges at the moment. Tank Combat is cooperative and relies on you having other people in the tank with you to handle the various tasks, although you can tell the AI what to do I mean, really, this game looks good… I’m surprised my PC hasn’t melted yet or something. The game runs on the same tech as the ArmA games, which is of no surprise considering Bohemia Interactive’s involvement, but to say this game looked good would be an understatement. Being 1944, both campaigns pretty much deal with the Germans already on the back foot, so the might of the Reich isn’t so mighty at this point. The game features a fully fleshed out single-player campaign, two in fact, one for the German side and one of the Russian. If you’ve played an ArmA game then you can probably stop reading here, as you’ll know what you’re getting into, but if you haven’t then I’ll do my best to prepare you. I mean really, who does that?īut this attention to detail is something that screams out throughout the entire game – it’s in everything, permeates everything… from adjusting the range of your target on your rifle, to movement and vision, to inventory management and combat mechanics. Seriously, after accidentally killing an unfriendly NPC with a grenade, I was treated by a ‘Mission Failed’ notification, and THEN a cutscene of my guy getting shot by a firing squad. If you think of Red Orchestra 2’s more realistic approach to World War 2 combat (specifically), and then throw in ArmA’s large sweeping chunks of country side, and you have yourselves the basis for a very hardcore and pretty unforgiving game. You know, I’d always wondered what ArmA was like – hyper-realistic simulations have always fascinated me, but I’ve never really had the chance to delve into them properly – having spent some time playing Iron Front: Liberation 1944 however, I need wonder no longer.
