The Arcade mode has a large number of old-school game modes like Capture The Flag, where you have to capture the opponent’s flag and drop it back into your base, with the team scoring the most number of captures winning the game, or Team Deathmatch, which is a battle to the death between two teams, each trying to score more kills than the other. Also, why is it that more than 5 players are allowed in a team after the team already has 5 players? This truly needs to be addressed. Despite Unranked focusing on 5v5 as the combat mode, the number of players on both teams are often unbalanced, leading to an unfair fight.

However, a disconnect won’t earn you the XP you truly need to gain access to the competitive mode, and the sweet, sweet lootboxes that unlock skins to give you a sense of pride and accomplishment. In Multiplayer, you have the Unranked mode, for trying out 5v5 matches without being afraid of the consequences of loss, or more importantly, of a possible disconnect. The developers decided that since multiplayer was the focus of the last gen FPS’s, that should be at the core of Battalion 1944 – providing a different multiplayer experience. Yup, no boring campaign that required trudging through. The game is a multiplayer focused game that offers little to no single-player aspect worth exploring. The game is one of the first from studio Bulkhead Interactive, a studio composed of former AAA developers.


The game was announced via a Kickstarter campaign on February 3, 2016. The game is set during World War II and runs on Unreal Engine 4. After a month or so with the game, and some back and forth within the entire team, do we think it delivers on its promises? Read the preview to find out.īattalion 1944 is a multiplayer first-person shooter video game published by Square Enix and released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, possibly Linux, and Xbox One. All of this inside a neatly trimmed skin of World War 2. The game promises to endow raw skill-based gameplay experience and is aspiring to enter the competitive arena and be incorporated within the clutches of professional e-sports organisations like ESL. After Rainbow Six Siege, and more recently PUBG, Battalion 1944 tries to become the latest e-sports phenomenon.
