Warfare 1944 – Hold the Line!

hey man ,, seriously ,, u got to stop teasing us lol ,, jk … cant wait here lol …great work ,, really admire ur work ,, keep it on ..

I cant wait! It’s so close to being done!

It looks crazy, man, I can’t wait!

Awesome Con! Ill be checking the site every day until I see a release date

Good job on updating it Con, i ran into some troubles in 1917 when men ran past the trenches, but game ran as if they were in the trenches. But whatever I was able to live.

Keep up all the great work man :p

Bang the head in on the wall with happiness .

1. wildstyle that happend to me too, cut down the whole swuad but one guy was like gliding past my trench and gained all my ground lol. 2. Awesome hold the line screenshot con.

on the american side, is there a soldier holding a thompson? Cuz it looks like it. Finally no more single-shot Rifles ? (with the exception of the sweet snipers)

Well, looking at the twitter updates, Con has finished the US campaign just about 2 days ago, and his goal is to finish half the german campaign by the end of today. So two days for the first half of teh german campaign, hopefully another two days, plus those skirmish maps, and this thing will be done! Hopefully…

My prediction is 4 days until warfare comes out, 5 tops.

Can’t…WAIT…ANY…LONGER!!!!! QUIT MAKING UPDATES AND FINISH THE GAME!!!

Con, this is killing me, finish quickly please

ARGHAGSGAGHAGAGHAGAGAGAG.

I can’t wait, i really can’t.

holy crap
30-40 guys shooting eachother
dang

ed i would say u might be right!

I really cannot wait for this game to be released, it’s going to be big and popular because the 1st game reached 10 million plays…

Awsome. Enough said.

Con Artist has set a new standard for Flash Games everywhere. Perhaps we can see more Flash artists such as Con in the future. That sure would be sweet, I have to admit not many other games apart from Con Artists’s are very well done to a high standard. I must congratulate Con on his achievements and wish him the best in the future. I, like many others cannot wait to see the release of “Warfare 1944″. Possibly the best Strategy game of WWII on the internet.

You are awesome and I love all the games you have created, this is looking totally radical/wicked! I can’t wait, will you still have the air support/american P51 Mustang in the game as fire support, like you showed us in a screenshot on 22 May

Wow, this looks amazing! I am very excited for its release.

1 word, AWESOME!!!!!!!!

this game is probably going to get 100,000 plays on the first day!

I dont know about you guys, but im way more excited about the german campaign than the U.S campaign. I love defending.

Looks amazing Con

Are you the only person to work on these games? or do you have any help with coding or anything?

I Can’t wait for it to come out, and will we be able to have more than 3 squads in the defense missions (without the other squads jumping out and fighting the enemy, like with the tranches)

the next warfare will be the civil war, right con

Curtis, don’t forget about single shot rifles in world war 2 now

dude after u finish this and last stand 3 u should make a warfare 1967 Vietnam it would be awesome wiht your amazing art work plz consider it

Woot! The thought of another, bigger, better Warfare game gives me chills! It would make my summer if it was out in time for the weekend!

hey con I need warfare 1944 like pookie needed a hit. I hope you get it done soon

i rather perfer 50 guys shooting each other

You my friend are the best game creator EVER. WERE NOT WORTHY WERE NOT WORTHY WERE NOT WORTHY

devils: Single shots where beginning to become usless when the Germans Invented their Mp40′s and 44′s. The americans had to make themselves the thompson to mmatch german firepower, the only single shot rifles in wwII were mostly Springfield rifles used by snipers or Carbines and M1 garands by some of the lower ranks soldiers. The Thompsons and BARS where in high demand because they rocked so hard. So They were a first come first serve kind of gun for the allies. To Finally end this history essay, I haven’t forgotten about Single Shot rifles in WWII im highly aware of Every war’s History, warfar, and How the wars ended.

What would be cool(And im sure it will be in this cuz the germans got panzers): allied sherman tanks . Oh oh, and snipers should be able to pickoff the driver of the tank and a soldier could hop in and take it over. Like sorta in C&C

Chris: You got that from Wayne’s World

work on it an make it thee best game ever can’t wait for it,and you make the best games ever.

What weapons are used for the infantry?
American?- M1 Garand? Springfield?,BAR?, Thompson?
German? – Kar98?, Gewehr 43?, STG 44,
MP 40?

I hope big things come your way because this game looks amazing. You should really consider making this multiplayer.

I think this game might rival the awesomeness of Mud and Blood 2 when it comes to WWII strategy games…

Curtis…The MP44/STG44 wasn’t developed until 1944, in response to Russian firepower. Most German infantry used bolt-action kar98s for almost the entire war.

The American Springfield bolt-action was the primary weapon for US Troops up until about 1943, when it was replaced with the M1 Garand, which is semi-automatic, not bolt-action/single shot. Even then, the majority of US troops used the M1 or it’s carbine; Thompsons and BARs were in short supply.

Single shot bolt-actions were the most used infantry firearms during the war, British troops mainly used their Enfield’s, US used Springfield’s up until 43, Germans mainly used Kar98s, Russians mainly used Mosin-Nagants, Japanese mainly used Ariskas and Italians mainly used Carcanos, the French their Fusils…Bolt-Actions ran the scene.

A lot of people are gonna be playing this when it comes out. Conartist and company make quality games. The sky is blue. I ate cottage cheese for dinner last night.

Weber, now we can’t go back in time you, these games are in chronological order of something.

Vietnam should be next, followed by the Gulf war, then the Iraq/Afghanistan war

I LOVE YOUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =D

this is going to be great

Swi1ch: The Mosin Nagant Was In my opinion the best Bolt-action rifle in its time, Kar98′s in my opinion were the best looking.

Devils: Don’t forget the korean war

Hey Con! What version of Flash are you using? CS 3 & actionscript?

I hope that the game will be released soon You’ll get 15,000,000 plays in no time

Best of luck on finishing this baby!

when is it going to be finished?!!?!??!?!I want to play it now grrrrr hurry with the skurmish maps other than than you are a God of plash video games

the germans troops looks awesome

is it almost ready its going to be great!!!!

After all these game u should make warfare 2007 like in Iraq or Afganastan with M16 guys-sniperrifle guys-A1M1 tanks-Jeeps-Better artillery-airstrikes- and last mabye in 1 lvl. u could have an ambush

the first warfare was really good. Thanks for making it.

seriously when are you going to finish this, I need something to do between teaching classes here in Korea

Are you gonna make a modern version of warfear? and.. when you make last stand 3, could you put a nail gun in it?

How much longer the wait is killing me

Don’t want to rain on the parade, but this isn’t exactly a first person shooter. The type of weapon is unlikely to come into play. It will be like warfare 1917.

From the screenshots you can see there are classes. Rifleman, Assault, Machinegunner, sniper, mortar, antitank, officer and tank. So the likely weapons will be:
Rifleman, US-M1, German-kar98
Assault, US-Thompson, German – MP40
Sniper, Springfield vs Scoped 98
machinegun .30 vs Mg42
AT: Bazooka vs panzerfaust.
Tanks will be panzer iii vs the M4 probably

It’s unlikely that the exact weapon will make any difference due to balance.
The upgrades seem to be similar to last time too:
Training:
Tier 1 – increased rifle damage, increased protection, increased morale and increased reinforcement rate (pretty much standard Warfare 1917 british options from the last game).
Tier 2 – Increased rienforcements, better assault troops (probably better thompson fire), two special deployment options it seems (one offensive bonus, the other defensive)
Tier three – Better machine gun, better infantry speed and cheaper RP costs.

Equipment upgrades:
Tier 1 – Grenade upgrade – probably like the mills bomb upgrade from WW1. Increased mortar accuracy, better airstrikes (more frequent or more accurate maybe?) and better tank speed.
Tier 2 – probably the availability of smoke grenades and mortar, or at least an increase in effect. Better tank fire (or improved anti-infantry effect) etc
Tier 3 – similar stuff to warfare 1917 (ie quicker tank rienforcement, better bombardments etc).

The real awesomness i think you’ll see in the game is the RPs. Not sure how it will work, but it seems that we will be able to choose to use grenades or pop smoke etc. It will add a really interesting strategic element that wasn’t in the first one (where timing and mass formations seemed to be more crucial.)

Anyways, that’s my speculation done. Keen as hell to sink my teeth into the actual thing.

Good luck Con, and well done on some really awesome games. Can’t wait to see how this one goes.

Cheers – Luke

I am looking forward to this game Con!!

I estimate that the game should be done late friday, to midday saturday. But if Con takes his time maybe late Sunday o.o

Cant wait!

Think the Warfare 1944 game will be awesome, since Ive seen the pictures you have posted.
Hope it comes out soon though ^^

And Con, great work with all previous games!

u guys do realize that more modern games would be way different right??
these games play on the fact that it was trench warfare
nowadays there are no battles, just day to day fending off attacks

matt, Im not sure what you mean with “nowadays there are no battles, ‘just day to day fending off attacks’ “

When the new update will be posted ?

when are you going to finish warfare 1944 we can’t wait were dying in Aus

The other matt is correct. Modern warfare is mostly just ambushes and suicide attacks, not organized assaults with artillery support. Or at least that’s how it is in Iraq with the terrorists.

I can’t wait for the game to to be released!!! Since the first warfare was a excellent game i’m sure this one will be even better.

exactly my point Matt
wow this could be confusing

The two Matts are right: war in Iraq is a largely assymetrical affair. Which isn’t to say a game couldn’t be made of it, it’s just not something the Warfare series was designed to replicate.

I’m sure both Matts are speaking of there is no longer conventional warfare. which they are both right and wrong at the same time. Its obvious that weapons and tactics change through the decades and so the meaning of conventional warfare changes as well. The tactics and weapons have changed since WW2 so you cannot call the tactics developed during that war conventional anymore. WW2 was certainly a unique time and weapons and fighting machines were almost evenly matched. Because the development of the more deadly weapon systems like metal storm, (which can pump more then a million rounds a minute into a target) depleted uranium rounds, and land warrior systems its impossible to have the same tactics used during WW2 thus we can no longer call those conventional tactics. Modern conflict is much too deadly for mass infantry tactics used in WW2. Can you imagine the bunkers on on utah and omaha haveing miniguns that pump roughly 500,000 rounds a minute guarding the beaches? Not that Modern F22 fighters would even allow landing craft to reach the beach. Weapons are just to deadly now days.

I thought modern warfare was more about who could bomb the other one in the best way to open up for ground troops to guard captured areas ^^

Not at all! Modern warfare is all about as little casualties as possible on your side for as maximum casualties as possible on Alah’s side. ;P

I really can’t wait until this game! Hopefully coming out today guys! I am getting Empire: Total War and this on the same day maybe!

*starts hyperventilating and collapses to the floor*

I am dying to see the release date the game looks really aweosome

Well put, NeWa, but the sheer number of matts is becoming overwhelming.

i am getting impatient lol ive been waiting sooo long XD

cant wait hope its better than the first one

i thought war today was who had more nukes
lol

con u r awesome

Matt will rule the world! Under Con, we will become the masters of the universe, which we will rename the mattiverse!

thank you for expanding on my comment and going into detail NeWa
and i agree the number of matts is confusing, i demand you others change your names immediately

matt4 i agree
rulers of the mattiverse con, matt, matt, matt, and matt
although some people may say their name is matt to join us, we must be very careful about those who join our ranks
matts and con ftw

I Can’t Wait any longer!
Please comment on the game Con, I need to know how long until it is released!

I bet all named matt here are the same person who just got bored ^^

Imagine that!
I wonder what the troop with the radio are for on a previous screenshot….
I really can’t wait, look forward to it.
LOL MATT!!
Hope you can make skirmishes.
Is there a limit to how many troops you can have on the field? In Warfare 1917, there were only three squads per trench.

man i cant sleep till this game comes out i will be able hope its as good as the last

why Con,Why!?? dont make us suffer!! we want to know when is released!

soz my bad english
