Can you tell more about the FPS (First Person Shooter) part of the game?
We call this the Action Game; this is where the ‘Heroes’ are doing the fighting on the ground and in the clouds.The Action Game is in all its aspects a full blown First Person Shooter, complete with intense infantry, vehicle and airplane combat in a wide variety of modes and missions. As your customizable character advances in rank, you might join a small squad of elite soldiers operating behind enemy lines, or fall-in with a larger section fighting an epic battle for a strategic bridgehead. We try to create an Arcade Shooter with realistic elements, such as weapons ballistics, advanced vehicle armor models, etc. What makes our game different to most other Shooters is that every single mission fought in the Action Game, will be a part of one grand war reaching all over Europe. In the end, the ‘Heroes’ will be the deciding factor on who will win the war. The ‘Heroes’ will look to their ‘Generals’, to send them the needed reinforcement and supplies that they need, to win those strategic important battles!
Can you tell more about the Strategic Multiplayer Campaign?
The Campaign, as we call it, is the strategic part of Heroes & Generals. In the Campaign ‘Generals’ will control a number of Assault Teams (army units), fighting for either the US or the German faction, and move them around the campaign map in order to conquer cities, airfields, factories and other important strategic points. When two or more hostile Assault Teams attack each other, a mission is created in the mission list, and players from each side can join and play out that mission. The Assault Teams carries an amount of resources, which will be the ones available in the Action game, and all kills in the Action-game will be reflected in the Campaign. The ‘Generals’ can also add reinforcements to an ongoing battle, so your troops on the battlefield will get more resources.
