Battalion 1944 Options

[Wolf Enstein]

Here's a first look at the basic Allied and Axis player skins for Battalion 1944 :








Very nice indeed .

Also, in further news, Wasti, a map-maker from the Battalion 1944 website, gave us Wolf ET fans a real treat tonight when he showed us what could be done when using the Unreal Editor for custom map creation. Here's what he had to say :


"You can already play around in the unreal editor to make custom maps. However, obviously all of the Battalion 1944 assets aren't available to the public yet. So really for now, we are only able to do terrain layouts and rough drafts of maps using the default assets in UE (or making our own).

For example, here are a few shots of an (extremely)rough draft of Fuel dump from Wolf:ET in unreal 4 that I did just to get the layout and scale correct and ready for when the assets for Battalion 1944 are released to modders." - Wasti



"Here is a shot of a rough tank and the tunnel. I have light sources, I just haven't taken the time to make a model for the lanterns and lamps yet. I'm still playing around with the lighting balance in the tunnel, I'm not sure if I can reuse the original spots for the lighting yet but that's how I have it set up for now." - Wasti



Superb work from Wasti and I'm really looking forward to seeing more of his excellent mapping .

I'm very excited for this game. Everything i've seen so far is very promising.

hoping 1944 plays great

[Medelwr]

Looking like a cracking game and the graphics are looking great so just hope the game play is just the same.

[Wolf Enstein]

Here's what some of the gaming press have been saying about Battalion 1944 :





Also, it's nearly time for the arrival of the stretchgoals.

"Stretch goals are just around the corner. We’ve had them planned for a while, and we’re sticking to our original plan. We don’t do empty promises at Bulkhead; which is why we are working on in-game assets to show you all exactly what we’re working towards before we announce all of Battalion 1944’s stretch goals." -Bulkhead Interactive



Battalion 1944 is looking good so far and with our Wolfenstein Community actively participating in the game development discussion it can only mean good things ahead, as far as getting a new objective-based, teamplay-orientated World War 2 FPS title is concerned .

It will be great game, probably gonna get server if available. :)

Yep, the Battalion 1944 will be giving us everything we need to expand the game, Nico, server files, modding and mapping tools etc..

It really is looking good .

We had this type of discussion already, over on our Clan forums, $mart bro. No one loves Wolf ET more than we do, for over 13 years now we've supported this great game. However, after researching Battalion 1944, we feel this new World War 2 FPS could really be our new Wolf ET.

Will we, as a Clan, abandon Wolfenstein Enemy Territory? Never, the World of Wolfenstein is in our blood. We will, though, be testing Battalion 1944 from alpha to beta to final release, to see if we really do have a new World War 2 FPS to get excited about.

From what we've seen so far, though, the answer most definitely has to be, "yes", bro .

I think this game will only be available on steam?

"Once we’re happy with the state of the game we’ll be able to launch on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam." - Bulkhead Interactive



I hope that answers your question, Estorado .

[Estorado]

I hope that answers your question, Estorado .

Yes thank you.

Fuck steam. I hate this crapware and I will not support this game.

[Wolf Enstein]

Fuck steam. I hate this crapware......

I'm a new member there, over on Steam, but I can't say that I'm a fan of what I've seen so far either, Estorado. What I also know about Battalion 1944 is that we'll be able to create and run our own Clan servers, if that makes any difference to you, bro?

[Wolf Enstein]

Yeah bro, you just need Steam installed to play it .

I really truly believe Bat44 will be the younger smoother brother to ET lets hope SL will track it too!! anyone interested can see what all the fuss is about at the chat forum here!

Yeah, I know what you're saying, Nico m8. Both new World War 2 FPS games, but which one for us to follow ? Our Clan is still in discussion about this, bro.

Here's hoping that SL tracks them both . I love this video, the ending is brilliant :

Days of war seems better

Days of war seems better

Hmm

[Wolf Enstein]

Days of war seems better

Hmm

Feeling a bit skeptical, Stoer bro? I have to say, over the past week or so, our Clan and the (1944)Clan have been in deep discussion about both of these new franchises and at this point we really don't know what to think .

Which is best? Which to follow? Do we follow both? Which one of them, if any, will actually create a Wolfenstein-style objective-based teamplay mode?

As our dear ol' Wolf ET announcer would say......."Only time will tell!" .

[Nico'x]

Hey gangsta, I don't really know which game will I choose. lets see what will your clan choose, then we will suggest! ;)

[Wolf Enstein]

Hello Battalionites! We are super excited to be announcing our next big live stream the Battalion 1944 ‘State of The Union’ dev stream on Friday May 6th 2016 at 21:00 GMT with Community Manager BigTuna and Executive Producer Joe Brammer.

Battalion 1944 has been funded for 6 weeks now. During this time the team have been hard at work assembling and managing a project to give Battalion 1944 the best possible chance at success and not becoming a one hit wonder, but genuinely competing with the likes of Call of Duty and Battlefield.
Recently the dev team ran a poll on the forums to decide the best night for Bulkhead to run the Battalion live streams. The community spoke and they have been heard. Bulkhead will be streaming live from their office on Friday May 6th at 21:00 GMT.

During the livestream we will be covering
- Budget and Financing Battalion
- The Game Developers Conference and how it benefitted Battalion
- Our plans for Anti-Cheat and Server Hosting going forward
- Announcing the details of our first Community Play Night!
- The new Battalion website & PayPal
- Live Q&A

At approximately 21:30GMT we will release an update on the Kickstarter page and the forums disclosing a text based version of the Battalion 1944 finances.

To tune in to the livestream on May the 6th, join thousands of Battalion fans and follow the Bulkhead Interactive Twitch Channel HERE

The full question and answer session can be read HERE

[Wolf Enstein]

I found this on Youtube yesterday, the channel has four Bat44 videos, the fourth is the best one, in my opinion. The footage is definitely of the older variety because you can see the original player and weapons skins. Joe Brammer is already on record as saying that the new ones are almost finished now.

Enjoy the video :

The latest vlog fromTuna. This Friday, August 12th 2016 at 10:00am BST (UK time), the Battalion store will open up with the new website, forums, and PayPal at www.battaliongame.com. On Friday night at 21:30pm BST (UK time) they'll be having their latest livestream too. The Devteam wil be revealing a new weapon to the Battalion community, which will be featured via in-game footage.

Well it will be released next year?

Yes, Nico, the alpha testing will start early next year for Battalion 1944.

Here's a "sneak peek" of the fully customisable "Battalion 1944" loadout screen, featuring the American 101st Airbourne unit with their mohawks and warpaint :

[keMoN]

Seeing acqu's ET Headquarters mod, this wouldn't be too far fetched for Enemy Territory. I always thought having a bit of personalization would be a nice addition to the game.
Anyways, I like customization and in my opinion it is the best way to have unlocks, rewards or micro-transactions on a purely cosmetic level and not with gameplay changes.
I think Battalion 1944 could be a nice game to play in the future and if they refrain from gameplay unlocks/transactions it's even better.

[Wolf Enstein]

The Devteam have already confirmed that all in-game "unlocks" will be for cosmetic things only, KeMoN, e.g., name/slogan engraving on your gun, Clan patches on your uniform and so on. Acqu's work for our Wolfenstein community is truly amazing and he should have received far more credit than he has done. Wolf ET needs folk like him .

Yes, so true. The interest in his mod was saddening low. In my opinion he did a fantastic job with implementing a concept seen in most modern games into ET and he received way too little credit for that. Who knows, maybe once ET: Legacy is completely stable, we might think about adding such cosmetics to unlock. Would be a neat addition to reward regulars. And it could also be used as an incentive for people to use a built-in 'ranked' system. Anyway, I'm drifting off-topic :tongue:

I have been looking more into Battalion 1944 and Days of War lately and I always get those two confused. I think this video is a very nice start and it brings up a lot of good points.
Idtech3 has unique physics and movement and I think this is what makes me unhappy about most modern games and also both of the above. Strafing, Trick-jumping, etc. are things that you do not see in games anymore. The only exception I know of, being Dirty Bomb which is being developed by Splashdamage.
In Battalion 1944 and Days of War the movement is a weird mix between realism and fast-pace imo. Both games claim to be fast-paced, but playing ET or Dirty Bomb this doesn't feel right.
I'm interested in both and will keep following the development of both so please keep posting updates. It's a bit unfortunate though, because we have been waiting for the return of "old-school" shooters for a long time and now there are immediately two games in this segment. I hope there is room for both and I wish both development teams that their game will be successful! We'll see.

I, personally, will wait for the modding scene of both games to take off, before getting into them. Mainly because like I said, the movement and physics are a major point for me. If there are mods recreating that, then I'm most likely on-board.
Both games already have a vivid community with particular interest in modding, so I'm quite positive we will see something like this, once the games take off.

Here's Westie's video update on the new "Battalion 1944 Winter Update" :

[Nico'x]

Will this game support high fps as in W:ET? I run ET in 125 FPS easily, and I'm sure I will be able to run this one too! And when is alpha release? will that be for free? I mean like testing, then we buy the game? "Play Online" available?

[Wolf Enstein]

Will this game support high fps as in W:ET? I run ET in 125 FPS easily......

It runs on the "Unreal 4" engine, Nico, so you'll get high FPS.

......And when is alpha release?

The "alpha" release is in May.

......will that be for free? I mean like testing...

No, bro, you can order "early access" for the game HERE

..........then we buy the game? "Play Online" available?

We can buy the game near the end of 2017, after all the testing phases are complete, m8 .

[Nico'x]

Thanks Gangsta for these answers! :)
