Hello Survivors!

This week we wanted to show you something completely new. Some time ago we started to create a new map, based on Barcelona and it’s a good time to show you how it’s all going.

On the left photo you can see how Barcelona looks from above. On the right – how it looks on our Unity whitebox.





On this set of pictures you can see the blue line – it’s not going to be the river :D It will be something like a tunnel for the AI supply depot. You can also check how our map is going to look when part of the city will be replaced with AI-transformed arenas:



And now time for some quick animation:





We are still waiting for any of your questions and inquiries on Uragun Facebook, Twitter page and now also on Discord server. Follow us on social media for more.

Remember: you are a gun.

1. Full game is now included for free, so everyone can create a user, gain points and therefore unlock new kits, the DLC is no more.

Alternative kits are unlocked with player level and available in the spawn screen, like so:



2. Some improvement was made regarding movement on rough terrain.

3. Pretty big optimization in the post processing render pass.

Update 1.5 is now live!

The update adds:

- Autosave function
- Improved Inventory System
- New Skill Menu
- New Lighting system

and more!



Join Layla on her quest to unravel the secrets of a strange island, and become the Queen of Pirates!

Hey all!

Another amazing day for Battalion 1944 yesterday, obliterating our expectations and setting our record number of concurrent players and most copies sold since full release! We’re thrilled with the support we’re receiving to bring back old school shooters - with players and streamers flocking to get their dose of the Battalion 1944 hype through word of mouth.

It's been amazing to see so many players relate to this classic style of FPS and because of this, we’ve been working hard on fixes and new quality of life features as well as bigger content behind the scenes for the future. This is only the beginning for Battalion 1944!

Our event playlist fittingly lands on the beaches of Normandy with Invasion being this week’s map in the playlist rotation.







After the growing success of Battalion, we can see there is a decent sized SEA community wishing to play Battalion competitively. We're pleased to say that we'll be adding SEA servers in the near future, get practicing!

The ordering of actions when firing a weapon has been adjusted so that the muzzle flash appears the exact frame the mouse button is pressed rather than a few frames after to help communicate to players when the bullet leaves the weapon. (Thanks u/int64shrandy)

• Party management can now be handled within the competitive screen instead of overlay.
  
• ‘Active event’ card is now shown on the competitive 5v5 Wartide page.
  
• Player cards in Faceit matchroom are now clickable and opens the player’s profile in the overlay.
  
• Friend requests would overlap if too many were listed at once. Friends request list is now scrollable.
  
• Added ‘waiting to start timer’ in competitive whilst players are connecting to the server.
  
• Added a potential fix for the last remaining cases of menu stutter.
  
• Added fix for never ending CTF games by forcing the bots to drop the flag when a new player connects.
  
• Added a potential fix for the issues a small number of players where seeing where they couldn’t join any official server.
  
• Knife animation can no longer be seen by other players when stood inside a smoke.
  
• Added fix for the ‘russian walking’ bug so you can no longer unfairly speed around the map silently when spamming crouch. (Remember: crouch walking and ADS walking is silent!)
  
• Added potential fix for the incorrect map loading after the map veto process in competitive.
  
• Added potential FFA server crash fix.
  
• Added a fix for a rare client crash when someone else was firing their weapon.

As Battalion 1944 goes from strength to strength - we’re already working on long term plans with our publisher Square Enix & our amazing partners at Faceit for sustainability both for the competitive scene and juicy arcade content. We’re full steam ahead on post release development and we can’t wait to share all the juicy news with you guys!

Here’s to a bright future for our growing Battalion 1944 community.

Thanks,
Bulkhead Interactive

Hey everyone,

Early Access launch day is here!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwNuBKkmbrY

To get things started we've got a message for you all from Lead Developer Max:



We began Hell Let Loose as a tiny hobby project on the Unreal Engine forums back in late 2014, when World War Two games were very much in drought. We wanted to create a game that mixed the intensity of frontline combat with the depth and strategy of more realistic team-oriented shooters. From there, Hell Let Loose has gone on to become the sole focus and passion for our team of 10.

We’re so thankful for the patience you have shown us - both before our Kickstarter (if you want a laugh, watch the gameplay in our original Kickstarter trailer!), helping us raise funding, and then supporting us through the testing waves. You’ve been battling bugs with us on the frontline for more than a year now. Whether you’re a newcomer or one of the grizzled veterans who discovered us in June 2017, we’re really excited to continue this journey with you. World War Two was an enormous conflict and we’ve only just scratched the surface. Below I’m going to talk through some of the key aspects of where we are heading from here.



Ultimately Hell Let Loose was born from a desire to create an enormous World War Two game that we’d never experienced before - where teamwork and communication met aspects of realism, brutality and an intensity of combat without losing an inherent meta strategy or smaller unit tactics. We’ve read so much World War Two history and wanted to experience something close to what the soldiers experienced. We want players to be able to use a tank as cover on an approach towards a hamlet. We want to be able to create deadly minefields in a forest, or creep artillery onto a target. We want the exhilaration of being able to break through the enemy line, or the panic knowing that the enemy had done the same to us.

There are many, many more features that we’ve committed to in our Kickstarter, as well as features that we would love to include in addition to those. We want to widen and polish the core experience.

We plan to use our Early Access period as a balance of working with you - the community - while also introducing and polishing new features and content. Working with Team17, we’ve structured and scheduled lots of exciting updates - but we’re going to be working hard to integrate everything we learn from you - the players. We have exciting things coming that you can see in our roadmap below. We’ll be updating this image as we progress and will release one similar to it after we leave Early Access - the content won’t end there.




As we launch our Early Access, we’d like to call on you - the community - to assist us in making Hell Let Loose an inviting atmosphere to new players. Every Beta, we’ve seen new players come to the game and begin to get accustomed to the strategy and tactics unique to Hell Let Loose. Things that are obvious to us (how wounding works, how respawning works, how role selection works, how to stay together, how to use VOIP etc.) are often totally new concepts that need to be introduced to a player who may have come from a different genre. We know that Hell Let Loose is best played when everyone is communicating, kind and happy to help, and we ask that you assist us in modeling this to everyone you meet in-game.

Inevitably, the first week of any major release means that the majority of soldiers on the front line may be not only totally new to Hell Let Loose, but new to the teamwork and hardcore genre. We’re seeing players from large high-budget shooters keen to jump in and try something new and we’d much prefer to help them get up and running as a great contributing member of a unit and team than criticise them for their gaming pedigree. We ask that if you’re an experienced veteran in the genre - you’ll keep the new players in mind and create a welcoming atmosphere. Many won’t yet have mics - or be confident to use them - but we’re keen to make sure we foster an atmosphere in which people can learn. Nearly all players will remember that first game they played in the hardcore genre. It was terrifying, difficult and brutal - but also an experience that stuck with you and made it hard to go back. We all know that awesome feeling of a veteran taking you under their wing and showing you the ropes. We ask that you keep that in mind when confronted by totally green players.

While we can encourage you the community to take new players under your wing, we also want to assure you that during Early Access we’ll be working hard to overhaul and add to our tooltips, wiki and gameflow - in order to better help new players understand how to play.

Throughout the last couple of months we’ve created numerous role guides and other information to help you get started.



If you’ve played the game recently, or spoken to any of us about features, bugs or changes you’ll know that we’re highly passionate and motivated to improve and widen the Hell Let Loose experience. We watch the community discuss new vehicles, features, maps and polish and can only agree on how they’d add more variety and interest to the game. Everything from barbed wire functioning as barbed wire should - to new and improved Commander Orders - to new vehicles, maps, uniforms and weapons - we’re as excited as you are to implement it all.

We hope you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the frequency of hotfixes, patches and updates to come.




Our first patch will be applied in the first week after release. It will fix critical issues that arise, as well as tweak or change gameplay in response to community feedback. Obviously, we won’t be able to tackle every single bug we’d like, so we’ll attempt to prioritise this according to need. Please do not be discouraged if a particular bug you’ve experienced isn’t fixed in the first patch - there's a high likelihood that it will be addressed down the line.


While we’ve been preparing for EA, we’ve also been thinking about the content for our first update: On the Beaches (U1). It’ll introduce an all new map - Utah Beach - as well as a large bunch of goodies that we’ll reveal closer to the date. We can say that the environment and level design team really feel that Utah presents many new challenges to the roles and vehicles you’re already familiar with.


In addition to regular patches, we will also be hotfixing the game if any show-stopping bugs rear their ugly heads.


We haven’t forgotten the Kickstarter rewards for our backers and want to assure you that the credits will be patched into the game during Early Access. We want to follow up with each tier to make sure your name is present in the format you desire.



Weapon Changes

• Lowered MP40 horizontal recoil to allow for better control up to 75m
  
• Lowered Thompson horizontal and vertical recoil to allow for better control up to 75m
  
• Lowered STG 44 horizontal and vertical recoil to allow for better control up to 75m
  
• Lowered BAR horizontal and vertical recoil to allow for better control up to 75m
  
• Tweaked scope time on Springfield in order to smooth out the transition to the optic
  
• MG bipods now have a more generous vertical arc to allow people to better aim up while deployed on the ground

New Cosmetics

Those who pre-ordered the game will now be able to enable their helmet to display once they’ve entered a server by turning it on in the Options menu. We will be distributing codes to all Backer tiers eligible for a helmet via email in the coming weeks. Both will then be worked in to the full cosmetic system that will be implemented during the Early Access period.


Movement

Being able to jump and then vault has been removed, and instead we have increased the vault height from 120cm to 160cm, allowing you to climb out of most trenches and over all fences without allowing you to scale high walls. We are keen to make sure high walls remain a way to funnel infantry and vehicles in the battlespace.


General Bug Fixes

Animation

• Added defensive code

Optimization

Visual Improvements

• Improved LODs on Barberry Bushes
