Iron Front 1944 - new DLC announced

[jomni]

Campaign is horrible.  I'm now in a mission that seems impossible (4th German mission).
Multiplayer is a ghost town.  This will probably be a sandbox for me... tinkering with the editor.

Just purchased...I had to for $10.

It looks like Iron Front: Liberation 1944 is on sale on STEAM for $9.99 right now.

wow!  So much good 10 dollar stuff rolling out!

Anybody else playing around with the dlc?  I'm having a lot of fun with some of the single player Normandy missions.  Night combat is awesome...muzzle flashes and flares make it confusing and extremely intense.

I downloaded and installed it after I got home from work last night.  I only had time to fiddle for half and hour or so.  I played the D-Day landing scenario.  Seemed like fairly typical ArmA stuff.  AI milling about and dying like flies, calls of "Enemy!.....machinegunner....2 o'clock!......200.......metres........OH NO!!!.....6...is down....." and then I'd get to the burnt out Sherman and die horribly.

I'm looking forward to playing some co-op with the SimHQ guys next week.  Some of the screens they've put up already look fantastic.

Have to try this out.  The SP campaigns that came with the original Iron Front left me wanting.

I have been trying to forget that.

I hope this isn't too off-topic, but I just saw over at SimHQ that a beta mod called "Hell in the Pacific" was just released.

Trailer isn't too good, but it gives you an idea of what it looks like.

I haven't downloaded it yet.

Ok this game is damn frustrating as usual.  Reloaded countless of times already.  I'm playing the D-Day scenario and I'm now on top of the hill ready to take out the bunker. I'm alone and each time a kill a German a few more come out of the bunker.  How do you solve this puzzle.

Call in one of those P=47s that featured so prominently in the pre-release screenies

[jomni]

The P-47 does perform strafing runs in the D-day mission but not enough to wipe them out.

Update: Just had a blast playing this user created mission called Into the Dark.

You take the role of a lone Russian sniper tasked to sabotage a supply depot and assassinate a Colonel behind enemy lines.  You need to traverse for kilometers with random patrols. The depot is at a random location as well. Took several hours and reloads for me to finish the game but it's all worth it.  Quite satisfying when you succeed in each objective.  The mission is quite cinematic as well.

I got the Normandy DLC.  Very weird stuff.  The landscape seems more like what I dimly recall of the MMORPG Star Wars Galaxies than
anything else.  I just played in the editor.  Some nice wrecked houses anyway.

[undercovergeek]

is the editor the same as the ARMA editor?
