Just seem this announced, not seen it mentioned here before.

WW2 - Germans vs Russians - Built on Arma 2 engine.

More info here http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3288209/1/New_game_with_ArmA_2_engine_an.html , previews and screenshots.

Looks pretty nice. Was planned to be a free mod I think for arma 2 but dev's have planned for a professional release.

With this and RO2 we have two real PC ww2 fps games coming this year so happy days. Hopefully large player bases will grow in both for some good clan action.

Looks interesting, I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Hank_Marvin · 9 May 2011 at 17:12

Yeah me too, seems to be coming out before the end of the year so not too long to wait.

If this is as good as Invasion 44 for OFP, it'll be worth keeping an eye on.

Wow, can't bloody wait for this. I love WW2 shooters and if they add the realism like in Arma 2 then... oh yeah baby!!!

sounds like it could be epic

Hank_Marvin · 10 May 2011 at 08:33

Hopefully it will be, so sick of these modern games that are purely run and gun.

Aye, it could be quite good. A demo would be nice.

dpbadger · 19 Mar 2012 at 10:18

Looking good.

WOW WOW WOW

Thank you for the heads up.

This does indeed look FANTASTIC.

Good to see someone licensing the VR3 engine. Added to my want list which up till now, was empty.

Let's hope it's better than the steaming pile of manure Red Orchestra 2.

Edit: Wait, do we know if this will have MP?

Gimpymoo · 19 Mar 2012 at 11:21

Yes, it will, and co-op.

Kosmiche · 19 Mar 2012 at 12:19

It looks almost suspiciously similar in the screenshots to the game Heroes & Generals...

Very weird.

Nah looking at that gameplay video it looks more like arma 2 than h&g, those screenshots were pretty uncanny though.

That's what I was thinking. Hmmmm.

All they seem to be showing is Alpha screenshots and videos, I hope it's good but there seems to be so much in the game that there will be some errors and bugs. But who knows? Perhaps the developers are excellent.

Gimpymoo · 19 Mar 2012 at 13:39

The VR3 engine is very well optimised now so I do not predict any game breaking bugs.

Any bugs will likely be scripting/texture related.

PoiNt54 · 21 Mar 2012 at 15:54

Looks superb. Video is in German.

Zbornak · 21 Mar 2012 at 20:02

Looks good. I hope there won't be too steep a learning curve.
