Gameplay
Gameplay
Robert Hawkins is an American war correspondent who is caught up with various Resistance groups across Europe during the Second World War. Along the way he finds help in the form of a Norwegian commando, a German SOE agent, a femme fatale French Resistance fighter, and the Polish Home Army. The game is played through his flashbacks and will include real historical events, some of it highlighting Nazi atrocities committed in Europe. It also visits theatres of war, such as German-occupied Poland and Norway, which have remained largely untouched by mainstream western media and especially other World War II first-person shooters. The game has a large amount of focus put on the Warsaw Uprising, with almost half of the levels featuring it. Text from the official website describes the game:
Multiplayer
Multiplayer
The game features three modes – Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Radio Transmission. Originally, Stuart Black served as creative director of the game. During his tenure, the team was only focused on a single multiplayer mode called "Conquest", which they previewed. Conquest was a team based multiplayer mode where two teams work against one another to capture points in a corridor-like level.
Development
Development
The game was developed by Polish studio CI Games. It has had a long development cycle, first being announced in 2011. The game was originally set to be released in late 2012, but then delayed to early 2013. It moved to late 2013, then to spring 2014, before being released on June 10 in the United States, June 12 in Australia, and on June 13 in Europe. From its inception, Enemy Front has had many features added and cut, the most notable cuts being a large level based on the evacuation at Dunkirk, the removal of a customisable health system which allowed the player to choose between regenerating health or medical packs distributed around levels and the removal of the Lanchester submachine gun featured in several trailers and other promotional material, being touted as one of the game's "signature weapons". Stuart Black was the original producer/creative director of the game. The executive producer is now Steve Hart.
