This is a western front modification for Red Orchestra. It focuses on the Allied invasion from the Normandy campaign in 1944, through the failed Operation Market Garden in Holland and beyond the Battle of the Bulge. It covers not only the intense infantry battles the campaign is so well known for, but also includes the epic large scale tank battles that took place in the later stages of the war. Now you can play as American, British or Canadian troops, with a huge range of additional features: More than 20 new infantry weapons (such as the ever-distinctive Garand, M1 Carbine, .30-cal, Bren, FG42, Thomson and the Enfield rifles), and American Bazooka, British PIAT and German Panzerschreck to go tank-hunting with.
There's new infantry features, including Airborne drops onto the battlefield, bullet suppression and supersonic cracks, plus a new radioman class for calling in artillery strikes. Dozens of new uniforms for all nations are available and over a dozen new crewable vehicles including the King Tiger and JagdPanther for the Germans, countered with multiple types of Sherman in 75mm, 76mm and 17-pounder versions, plus the Cromwell, M10 Wolverine and Achilles. There's 11 new maps, including: Juno Beach, Carentan, Brecourt, Vieux, Ginkel Heath, Wacht-am-Rhein, Stoumont, Bois Jacques, and Foy. |
