If you have holding off buying this game, now is the time to put up the cash. First off, it has a big sale, 45% off and for me it only cost about 11 euros. That is basically nothing!
Also, the devs just released a huge update that changes how the frontline work now. So no more blasting random AI tents, those have been replaced by WW1 style trenches that you can connect with each other to make huge trench-networks. Pretty awesome. Added also is that the game has a simple form of cover mechanic now. So sitting behind sandbags, or in a trench give you a higher RNG chance to avoid bullets. What this mean is that firefights last a lot longer now and player versus player combat is the main event again instead of blowing up AI manned tents endlessly.
Me,
MediantSamuel and
Jonathan "Zee Cat had a go yesterday and it was really damn fun. It had a lot more action then previously times played, and positioning yourself now has a much larger impact on the combat overall. It's easy to get tunnel vision though, thinking you are safe in a trench when someone with a smg can easily flank and jump down and drill you full with holes. It just had this WW1 style viciousness to it. People hacking each other with bayonets, spraying people with smg's and soldiers throwing deadly gas grenades. Great fun!
Foxhole combat in action, me and a couple of Wardens taking potshots at each other. Notice the shield. It's full, which means I have full protection.
Me &
MediantSamuel building a small boat to circumvent the enemy stronghold on the bridge.
Jonathan "Zee Cat joined us for the "assault". It didn't last too long though. I decided in my wisdom that going under the enemy controlled bridge was a good idea. Someone screamed the enemy is here and soon the little motor on the boat was on fire. Unfortunately I didn't manage to take a pic because I was laughing too hard. I went down with the ship, and I think the other two managed to swim to the shore, but not sure
