Warfare came to town.

   Posted by: Con in News, Warfare

Above is a shot from one of the later levels in the US campaign. There’ll be a few missions with the town setting to mix things up a bit.

Development is coming along and I’m finding myself trying to stop the flow of new ideas that tend to come to me when I don’t have time to implement them. I’ve also had to ditch some stuff that wasn’t working in exchange for some things that are far more enjoyable to play with (i.e Tanks).

I got half of the voice acting back today, there’s way more in it than the original and it’s sounding great. We’ve got a range of accents this time and it’s really adding to the feel of the game.

Estimated release is sometime after the 20th. The campaign needs to be completed and balanced as do all the upgrade tree items. It’ll be worth the wait, promise.

Also, there’s a bit of discussion about the game and some more details on the forums.

Nah, it’s one of the later levels. I just had it in testing, so I only had Riflemen active. You’ll have more unit choice on this one for sure.

Why don’t you use the actual German flag instead of that iron cross. What a cliche. Wahh.. im scared of swastikas. Wahh

Wahh if you did some research you’d find that the Iron Cross is one of the prominent indentifiers of the Werhmacht and that the swastica was primarily used by the Nazi Party (read political not military) and it’s ranking officials, wahh. Though the swastica did feature prominently on their flags, I’d rather leave symbols that remind millions of people of the worst bigotry and hatred of the last century, out of my games.

Ahh man!! So there wont be any medics! Thats kinda a let down. Hope nothing will be cancled after this. To tell you the truth, ill rather have a game released later in the year than get a game released now. Con you could take ur time, i can wait till in july.but if thats unnessesary, then just release it.Still i cant wait 4 warfare cuz it already looks like the best internet game made! Con if it is wat u say it is, u r the most insaine, smartest, and best game creator that ever lived (maybe u already r)

Oh man, this looks brilliant!

I see in the image it says “time up”. I really hope this doesn’t mean that there are time limits, as part of what made the first game fun was how you could keep fighting for all eternity.

Also, with the advance button there? I’m hoping its indicative of a system of “Charge > Advance > Hold > Fall Back” with various other things like “Take Cover” or “Hold Fire”.

If this is a feature-loaded game with better graphics than the first one, it could be really amazing!

Just 2 Ash, U.S and Germany. They’ll be a fair bit different this time around.

Wait when did u start on warfare? did u take some things u made in 1917 nd put it in here or did u have to make the whole thing over again?

It uses the Warfare 1917 engine, but has a lot of additional features. So no, I didn’t start from scratch.

Work started in February and has been on and off since then as I spent time working on a few other games (including Crush the Castle) during that time. Decided in April to finish this one.

This game looks awesome. And I’m so glad you can know give commands. It’s much better than how the people just continue running like in the first game.

Let me just clear this up…

You CAN’T stop units. You CAN’T make units go back.

It’s a balancing and performance issue. If you can stop units (and I did try it) it results in the ability to set up “Death Walls” that make it impossible for the enemy to get past.

That said, the new cover system changes the game dramatically, you don’t have the long open stretches that you did in the first game. It’s much more about tactical movement and covering along flanks.

Con - Do you ever get fed up with people banging on about the Last Stand 3?

Christ, give the guy a break, people.

Warfare looks epic, might I add. Keep up the good work!
