Heroes & Generals

As I'm sure a couple of you gentlemen are aware, RetoMoto's Heroes and Generals is currently in beta. As an alpha tester and a current beta tester I was wondering if any of the chaps here are interested in making a clan/battalion/"insertgaminggroupnamehere" for this budding game.

And for those of you whom are unaware of what this game is let me give it a quick explanation. Heroes & Generals is a WWII game in its current form set during the Normandy Campaign (other campaigns and war periods being planned). In its most simple form it is an FPS similar to the original Call of Duty.

However, if you look at it from a total point it is a great example of a rare genre of game; Tactical All-Scale Warfare. When you gain enough money (called credits) you can buy Assault Teams, the smallest unit in an army. You command these units by simply telling them were to go and having them join battles on the map. When your troops join a battle they will often find that other players among you also have troops there. You can then join the battle in a FPS, using any available units (currently Infantry, Mechanized Infantry, Armor, Tank Destroyers, Paratroopers, Recon, and Fighter (which are currently similar to fighter-bombers)) to achieve victory.

The game also lets you customize your weaponry with new barrels, bullet types, internal modifications, sight modifications (not physical yet unfortunately), and trigger modifications.

Its really game for everyone, you can play a general and command units or you can be the boots fighting with the other men for the glory of your army.

Hope to get some of the EF guys playing with us as well. See you on the field comrades

How many soldiers can use in a game (max and min and including AI in the assault team)?

I would, but with Uni coming up I really can't afford to.

TBh I've never heard of this game :(

Currently no AI exists, once troops are committed to a battle you can use any and all of them, with number of troops per assault team depending on which type (Inf has 75 Infantry troops, Mech. Inf has 6 Halftracks, 50 Inf troops, Recon has 14 Sniper armed troops, etc.)

You can currently have 12 guys per team in any one battle (larger are planned if I recall correctly)

They have a Moddb page and their own community page. I'll link them to the OP

The URL no work for me :(. Ill just google it

Ok, the reason it didn't work is because Moddb doesn't cache anything on its servers and it seems to be down for maintenance

It sounds fun but requires some commitment. What game does it mod?

Is the tank battle realistic? Or just plain Battlefield style with no differant kind of rounds too shoot?
Saw a trailer for it. Looked like a better smaller version of battlegrounds europe? ( WW2 ONLINE).

Tank rounds are currently AP and HE. I agree with you Sommar, that's what it is a F2P Battleground Europe with newer planned graphics.

It isn't a mod at all. RetoMoto is a company from Holland and were the original makers of Hitman: Codename 47 under the name of IO Studios. After finishing that, they split of and took some IO Studios talent with them, reforming RetoMoto and started Dev on this game.

Signed up for the beta but im not sure how this game works. Is it a free online shooter? Does it cost money to buy? If i do get the key where do i go to put in to play?

Ok when you get your BETA key you will also get instructions on what to do. It's a free-online FPS shooter and an RTS put together. When you try you will see what I mean. It runs on the Freemium model of free game play and buy-able add-ons.

Signed up too. Waiting for Beta Key
