Festung Europa & Traction Wars

[WhenKittensATK]

Red Orchestra 2 didn't turn as good as one would hope. Neither did Iron Front: Liberation 1944. Hopefully Rising Storm can revive Red Orchestra 2 to what it should have been. Anyways, I bring two new WWII FPS games that share a lot of similarities. So it'll be interesting to see how both games turn out. Both games are still in early development, so might be a year or more before release.

Interesting. I'd be boored playing with tanks but would be nice play with weapons like snipers and such.

A blast from the past. Festung Europa dropped CryEngine for Unreal 4. Not much information and media has been released for either game. Traction Wars trickles out some small videos and articles. Development seems very slow for both.
