• Welcome to the Vanguard Community

    These forums date back to the game's origins as the Crysis mod Traction Wars. Over the years the game and internet habits have evolved and discord.gg/vanguardww2 is now the principle home of the community.

    The team continue to read and reply to posts here, but we can be contacted more quickly on Discord.

    Feature Article - Raid Gamemode

    The raid game mode you describe seems to represent the way combats occurred across the invasion, and the mechanics seem to be well thought out. The concepts of radio use and reinforecements are good game mechanics. The concept of 'reinforcements zero' is good, but for real hard core mode...

    Competetive Environment

    All righty then. Now the Traction Wars sacred cow has been sacrificed and we are in the world of paying for Vanguard, perhaps we could link payment to competition. Competition, money and clans. Competition is the nature of an fps online game, so initially free to play to encourage new players...

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    Any body with experience of fps games know how WWII Capture The Flag and WWII Team Death Match work? Miller786, maybe?

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    It might be better to compare Vanguard to Post Scriptum rather than Arma. PS makes the sand box work and that is not a good comparison for Vanguard. Squad based raids? That's Normandy, is it? Well, that means a pile of history books that need re-reading. Maybe you could promote Vanguard as...

    So.. where are we?

    To Heinrich Springer (and others) ??? .First, sorry if my comment seemed all knowing. The intention was informed comment, and sorry in advance if the reply below gives a bad impression. I was not aware that the project had been going for 10 years, and my view is based on spotting the TW web...

    So.. where are we?

    This project is going exactly as expected. Now most people, including the devs, wanted to believe the optimistic deadlines or estimates. But there are some people who know how these projects pan out, and didn’t believe the predictions. The big concern then came with the announcement of the...

    Paying for the game

    Paying for TW: How 1. Please please do not tie yourself and the players to Steam. Take note that Sony stated (October 2015) that they are not interested in using Steam to pay for the game, and the PS4 outsold the Xbox by 6 to 1 in the Christmas 2015 trade. 2. The only payment for TW that makes...

    D Day ships

    I bought a book called "D Day Ships", with many authentic photos in it. It could be a reference if you are going to have the landings included in the Overlord part of the TW release. The book is very readable and gives insight to the sea borne part of the invasion, a frequently overlooked...

    Sound and animation reference

    This American, kickok45, has a lot of videos that provide excellent references for sounds (outdoor) and animations of WWII weapon operation.

    Linux support

    Make a commitment to Linux. The gap between Linux and Windows is tiny now and I, like many Linux users, use Windows only for games. There are many Linux programmers willing to join a project like TW, who would work with the same conditions. Just ask and see what response you get! Linux is more...
