Traction Wars


Traction Wars is a PlayforFree WWII Tactical Teamplay Multiplayer Game. The game brings a vivid and realistic representation of the Second World War to your screens using the stunning CRYENGINE3. The game dynamics & balancing are designed to inspire a teamwork orientated tactical style of gameplay which rewards players who work together closely as a single fighting unit.



We realise the size of the mountain ahead of us and so we are dividing the project into a series of Chapters so you can dive into the action as soon as possible. The first chapter "OVERLORD" will feature the events immediately following the D-Day Landings of June 1944 and depict the infantry of the British Army and German Heer.



Traction Wars will enable players to not only experience intense infantry combat but also the armoured fury of the Second World War, commanding tanks such as the British Cromwell IV and the infamous German Panzer VI Ausf. E "Tiger" as well as the less glamourous but still essential transport and supply vehicles such as the Opel Blitz or Bedford QLD.

Whichever side you choose to fight with and whether you dream of holding Caen against the might of the combined Allied forces or capturing Pegasus bridge with the British 4th Glider Regiment, Traction Wars will have something for you. We dared to dream that it was possible... do you dare to fight? Join our community today to get the latest in news & make your voice heard.

WOW! If this is done anywhere near correctly, this could be the best shooter ever. The graphics are really good, and just look at the tracks at 0:51... (drools)

You may wonder, why would this be the best shooter instead of the next Battlefield or any other game? Well, these guys are making the game for the love of gaming. Not for profit, unlike DICE for example. We saw what happened when EA tried to beat CoD's sales with Battlefield 3. It is something that tries to be everything else than what it is supposed to be.
The Traction Wars dev team can do whatever they want. They can make it as non-casual as possible, they don't have to care if most of the people don't understand how to play it or don't like it.

There is a lot of potential here. But right now we don't know much more about the game than that it is trying to be realistic, it is set in WWII and there will be vehicles at least at some point. We haven't seen infantry gameplay, and we don't know how long will it take when they can even release a gameplay video. I'll keep an eye on this one.

User Interface (UI) and Gameplay are critical factors


DICE has the graphics and UI on target. They just failed to tell the truth, keep Battlefield gameplay, and support the Community.

Just a reminder: they are still working on this mod.
