    People on here always complaining about a lack of WW2 shooters,
    So hopefully you may enjoy this :rolleyes:, uses the ARMA 2 engine

    Personally I've never even heard of it...but a few clanmates are planning on giving it a try.

    Anyone any info or personal reviews (think it's still in Alpha/Beta) ?

    Article on RockPaperShotgun about it the other day

    http://www.entertainment-focus.com/games/trailers - This fall, Deep Silver and X1 Software send fans of tactical gameplay and shooters back to 1944 in "Iron Front -- Liberation 1944". The location? Southern Poland during the Soviet Offensive in the summer of that year, when the infantry and tankunits of the Red Army and the Wehrmacht engaged in fierce combat. "Iron Front -- Liberation 1944" is based on the engine of ARMA II Operation Arrowhead by Bohemia Interactive.

    The player takes on the role of a Russian or German infantryman, using teamwork, tactical skill and authentic war machines to battle for victory. The German campaign focuses on slowing the advance of the Soviet troops, while the Soviet campaign is all about breaking through the enemy's resistance. However, the player does not have to do all this on foot: Using their computers, tacticians will control tanks, including the famous German battle tank Panzerkampfwagen VI or "Königstiger"and the Russian Stalin tank JS2, or fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf190 and dive bombers like the Stuka or the Petlyakov PE-2.

    Looks poor especially when free Arma mods offer the same experience.

    Price does seem a bit steap, especially when this is a free mod:

    Hi folks I picked this up during the sale and love it... we need more players though for the multi-player element as it's seems to be only clans playing online.

    The new D-DAY add-on is amazing too
    Some great pics of the new DLC here
