Arm yourself with a diverse arsenal, including rifles, artillery, and even tanks, as you navigate the mud-soaked battlefields of the Great War.

Changelog

Here are the most important changes between the last Playtest from the 14th of April and this Playtest.


4 New Vehicles

We added 4 new vehicles to the game. Each Faction now has access to an Armored Car and a Transport Vehicle.

Armored Cars
Armored Cars are even faster than light tanks and are equipped with a heavy machine gun turret. However they are only lightly armored and can be destroyed quickly.



Transport Vehicles
Transport vehicles are capable of transporting up to 12 troops plus one drive. They are very fast but lack any kind of armor, so be on the look out for enemy gun emplacements.



First Person Camera
One of the most requested feature was the addition of first person to the game. You can now enter first person by pressing V.



New Uniforms

The German Officer and the German Heavy Gunner have received entirely new uniforms.


New Maps

This playtest will feature two new maps. Both maps are set in the early stages of the war and feature only a few trenches, so you better get your shovels ready!

Weris Village



Beaucourt Railway

Vehicle User Interface

We have implemented a new Vehicle User Interface. Located to the bottom left next to the health bar, you will now be able to tell which direction your gun is facing and which seat corresponds to which gun.



Player on Player collision

To prevent players from blocking entryways and getting stuck in tight places such as tunnels, staircases or trenches, players within the same team will no longer collide with each other. Players from opposite teams however will still collide. Players that are bleeding out will also no longer prevent players from moving over them.



Other Changes

We added a ton of other smaller changes and additions. Here are the most important of them:

Visible Map Borders
We made map borders slowly blend in the closer you get to them, notifying you of their existence.

Reloading Changes
Clicking any Mouse-Button while not reloaded will now automatically reload your rifle, preventing you from aiming your rifle if unloaded.

Grenade Perk and Explosions
The Grenade Perk now also improves the damage output of any grenades you throw and you can throw them slightly further. Explosions will now also no longer damage you through the ground.

Spawn Protection Zones
We implemented a Spawn Protection Zone system that prevents enemy players from entering your spawn area and spawn killing players. It will notify players entering a zone by the screen turning grey.

Machine Gun Fire Rate
We uncoupled the MG fire-rate from your ping, meaning that no matter how high or low your ping, machine guns will now always fire the same speed.

Turn off HUD
Pressing H will now turn off/on your user interface.




Thank you! We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield very soon!
