Battalion recaptures the core of classic competitive shooters & refines the ‘classic’ FPS feel for the next generation.

KEY FEATURES: Classic WWII FPS Roots – Skill Is King Strike with speed, strength and precision as Battalion’s swift and smooth infantry combat paves the way for a skill ceiling competitive gamers will die for. You won’t find any airstrikes, attack dogs or overpowered god guns here. In Battalion 1944, you, your skill and your rifle reign supreme. Wartide – Game Mode Two teams. Two weapon armouries to be fed with the blood of your enemies. Two objectives to defend or blow to smithereens. Five players per team. Thirteen rounds to secure victory.
