• 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.

    Update on Updates

    As you have probably noticed over the last few weeks, we’ve been a bit quiet on the update front. The great news is that this is because the team have been preoccupied by working hard on the game and making progress. Moving forward, we’re going to change our update schedule such that we only...

    Dev Blog #29: DevCon (TankFest)

    Following the success of the team’s visit to TankFest last year, this past weekend eight members of the team returned for another slice of the action. The day started out in typical English fashion - with a heavy downpour of rain - but undeterred we put our best (soggy) foot forward and set out...

    E3 2016 Therad

    It's that time of year again. Any reactions so far to the announcements made? For me I've seen all I want to see from E3.. just this. I want to get my hands on it but probably better for all of us that Andromeda launch is a long way away 😀

    Steam Launching Movie Rental

    Valve has stuck a film deal with Lionsgate to make film rentals available on Steam. Can't say I have looked at what will be available but I can imagine a cinema mode for Vive would be awesome (for the few people who can afford one). Gaming platform Steam strikes film deal with Lionsgate -...

    Most Anticipated Game of 2016

    It wouldn't be right to completely derail the Best of 2015 thread with speculation.. so what are you all looking forward to most? Or what are you hoping will be revealed this year after just rumours? Most Anticipated for me is almost certainly Mass Effect: Andromeda As for what I'm hoping to...

    Best Games of 2015

    What have been your favourite games of 2015 or the biggest disappointments? I don't think it matters if a game wasn't actually released in 2015 - if you enjoyed it more than newly released games that's also quite interesting 😀

    Community Newsletter #5: 3rd Battalion

    Just a few days short of 1 year since the community hit 2,000 members, we have hit THREE THOUSAND members. We love what we do but it is true to say that the support of the community means an awful lot to the whole team, new and old. As we have done the last two times we would like to give each...

    Star Citizen

    Well seeing as Star Citizen 2.0 has been released (and it's a fellow CRYENGINE game) it seemed like a good time for this to have it's own thread. Trailer here:
