Sim HQ preview Iron Front!

Sim HQ has a four page preview of Iron Front liberation 44. After reading that Tripwire must be a touch worried. Sounds excellent.

Conclusion

While technically an expansion of the Arma 2 world, Iron Front is much more than just a mod. From what we've seen in the Beta, you're getting a full battlefield, and potentially a great game. It covers air and land battles in single player campaigns and missions, along with multiplayer that can be played in co-op, or force-on-force, but the campaigns are unfortunately not "co-op". Planes dogfight overhead, planes bomb targets, and AA guns light up the sky. There are armor battles, vehicle transports maneuvering around, and of course, plenty of infantry combat. The huge amount of content and detail is very impressive. You also get the typical Arma 2 style mission editor, so expect plenty of user made content. If you like open area, open mission, WWII combat in a tactical, more realistic environment then you should not be disappointed in Iron Front: Liberation 1944. If Deep Silver and X1 Software get the bugs we found resolved, they have an unabashed winner.

My concern is how to actually get it. Doesn't seem to be any info. on US release.

[UlrichVonBek]

Not sure. It's being sold\published by  Kalypso media so I'm sure it will be available in the States.

Am I missing something, any benefit to pre-ordering this game?  Didn't see any info on any freebies, earlier downloads, or extras.  Otherwise, I might as well wait until release day:)

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Well, you get to pay full price and be the lucky one to discover all the bugs so there's that....

i found this vid  (not a trailer) informative

a glace at the 4 maps of different sizes, all the vehicles lined up ... and i especially liked those 'all kind of trenches objects' that fit naturally into the landscape ... cant wait to play with the editor so.

(there is also a 2 days old,  tank usage and a Stuka flight / bomb /strafe vid from the same guy)
