World War 2 First Person Shooter:
Global Strategies Affect the Outcome of the War
Players can enjoy full-fledged first-person shooter gameplay that includes infantry and vehicle combat set in World War 2. That is the “heroes” part.
While the soldiers are shooting it up in various maps, the officers are playing in the overview world map hosted in the War Server. Players can enjoy the strategic side of this free-to-play persistent online wargame by devising grand plans on the world map. Officers play an important part as what they do in the war Server affects the battlegrounds in terms of troop movements, defenses and logistics. They decide when and where to send troop resources. This is the “generals” part.
Each battlefield is basically a place that needs to be “won” but each battlefield is also connected to the others via supply lines. Control of these supply lines is also vital to the wargame. Also, some battlefields are more tactically important compared to others if they contain factories that produce new tanks or airstrips that allow players to bring their planes closer to the frontlines of the war.
Future plans include the Android Heroes &Generals: Mobile Command app; the iOS version with built-in chat is already out.
