Iron Front: Liberation 1944 - Release date announced

[Kupsised]

Got this yesterday and it seems brilliant so far. I have to say, it's considerably better than I44, but there are still a few things missing. For example, the first time I died I got the usual 'Ah f... that hurts!' in the weird German accent that you get in OA, but other than that it seems great!

Has anyone tried the mission editor yet? Have all the scripting codes been carried over from Arma?

The only thing in i44 that I find annoying is the AI... is this one better?

Are soldiers running for cover or do they stand there looking at you for some seconds instead of firing?

Hmmm it feels just like what it is, and that's a mod of Arma2 and nothing more. I don't feel the game brings anything new. Once the novelty of the voices and different weapons wears off, which is pretty quickly, you don't feel like it's a new game at all. Nothing seems to add to the immersion to make me feel that I'm on the Eastern front of 44.

The game continues to fuel my biggest gripe with Arma single player and that is that game play is not realistic due to the AI. This is pretty bad for a series that strives for realism. Will they ever work on the AI? It has the same problems since OFP from 11 years ago.

If you play realistically, that is avoiding getting killed at all costs, you'll find your AI buddies will get the enemy before you get a chance as they have super vision. Or the the enemy AI will kill all your buddies and then it's you against them solo or the mission is a failure.

The other option is to be more reckless and learn from your mistakes as you progressively die throughout the mission and reload the last auto-save to have another crack, until you know where all the enemies are and how to approach them. How's that immersive or realistic?

MP might be the place to be, but the usual case for me is if the server has a good ping, it's devoid of players. I'll continue for a bit, hopefully the campaign improves or I'll have luck with finding an MP server.

ARMA stuff has allways been a realistic first person shoot first and formost.. that 'allowed' you to drive dumbed down vehicals and dumbed down airplanes and hellos

So if your expecting a realistic WWII tank and flight sim.. Don't get this!!

But if you can accepted some dumb down aspects to 'GET IT ALL' in one package than I think you will like this game!

In that is all we got to choose from.. At least until CoD sequals include the same.. and hopfully at a little less dumbed down level

Exactly, and if you like missions where you end up with only one kill after a 30 minutes this is also for you. And where you accept that the AI can be really stupid at times but they never act in the same way "on rails"... It feels almost as stupid and awesome in this game as it did years ago in Operation Flashpoint Trucks running into obstacles, but never the same obstacle which makes it different every time... I remember some co op mission in OPF that me and a friend played 20 times or so to beat. Every time the AI did some new thing so our plan had to change and that changed how the AI acted in response... Finally we sneaked around the whole map and tricked that darn AI BMP into a trap One of my best gaming memories!

That is one of their strong points.. The AI does not have that 'waiting for a trigger' feel to it.. That is to say they will not stand there for ever waiting for you to come around a corrner.. They will seak you out and come around that or another corner!

Very slightly OT but I need technical advice.After playing for a day & a half ,Steam stopped letting me play saying my license was not verified(?) & now requires a code ( which I don't have) to start game.I've verified cache files & that doesn't help.I'm thinking of doing a whole new reinstall , but don't know how or where to start...Any ideas?

Sounds like you installed a beta patch (they should not be used with Steam version). If so remove the patch files manually and then check integrity again.

Thanks Ataros- Steam eventually corrected my Bad, now its up & running again ,as beautiful as ever.I still haven't a clue;instructional is saddly inadequate for a newbie to FPS games like me....unless I get help I may have to go AWOL from the Eastern Front!
