Day of Infamy

[Astral Rag]

Insurgency WW2 conversion Day of Infamy officially launches


FPS fans have been clamouring to relive the horrors of World War 2 since about the second Modern Warfare, and that sentiment has been growing with each near-future shooter pumped out by EA and Activision. New World Interactive, developer of squad firefight sim Insurgency, has been paying attention: in collaboration with the modding community, it has officially released Day of Infamy, a WW2 total conversion.

I say 'officially' because it's been cooking for a while but can now be played without opting into the Insurgency beta build—the community isn't nearly done with it. Despite a five-star rating on the Steam Workshop, the Day of Infamy roadmap lists a raft of tweaks, retextures, vehicles and other assets to be added, all crowdsourced from Insurgency modders. Submissions remain open, too, so if you've got a bit of talent and a passion for the hardware and battlegrounds of the second world war, offer up your goods via GitHub.

This update implements the first community map, Landfall by Chief-C, in addition to prettifying a German grenade an no longer referring to combatants as 'Security' and 'Insurgents'.

It's a colossal project, mercifully available in one package on the Steam Workshop, and offers a huge amount of extra dev-approved value to Insurgency owners. Leif did our review—there aren't many games that reward teamwork better.

Day of Infamy? Wasn't that an old Ghost Recon WW2 mod?

 

[bussinrounds]

Isn't this just mp/online shit though ?

 

[Astral Rag]

Yeah most likely. Insurgency does have Hunt Mode (solo or co-op vs bots) which is pretty basic but good fun nonetheless, it's also the only mode I still play from time to time. I haven't really looked into this mod yet.

Day of Infamy has entered beta.

Player skins, air support, rankings and some new maps added.

I bought this game a few days ago and really enjoyed it. The intensity of close quarters combat reminds me a lot of red orchestra 2, but with smaller maps, less janky movement and more satisfying gunplay.

Free Weekend and -50% sale:

Played a bit (coop vs bots) and seems a fun, worthy successor to Day of Defeat.

 

[Makabb]

just another mp shooter ?

 

[Baron Dupek]

Will wait for a $1 deal
played some time with free weekend and it was neat, just need to switch RO2 mindset of cannon fodder to more careful approach...

 

[mbv123]

oh,a western front ww2 shooter
me sleepy

 

[Plisken]

It's alright.

source engine isn't very well suited to realistic shooters IMO, not least of all because of hitscan and small maps.

Still expensive.
Wow, they changed gun sounds. Before that update they were like copy pasta from Insurgency but now they have proper BLAM! power, not wet farts like Wolfenstein2.

 

[Don Peste]

The time has come, it's on the Humble War Gamez (?) Bundle: https://www.humblebundle.com/games/wargamez-bundle
Tier 2, about $4.

Game gives me Day of Defeat vibes. Wish it had "autistic jumping" like CoD or DoD for getting to special places but its fun enough as is. Me and a few other codexers play it sometimes.

Did they ever fix the godawful loading times when switching maps? After they fucked that up and started adding bullshit maps (that flak tower, what the fuck), I stopped playing. It was working fine for months, then suddenly one update later it's taking over a minute or even two minutes to change map. Oh, and they also locked what army would be on each map (as far as co-op goes), so I never got to play as Brits again on some of the maps (so no having fun with the shotgun/welrod/webley/piat). Cocks.
