Thanks and have fun!

Welcome to our first developers update for Call to Arms after release! We will use these updates to keep you posted on the progress of the development and features.


We are currently working on the beta release of the new factions. They will be available for Ultimate Edition later this summer and after they are completed, they will be available for the other full version packages too.



Finally the fortification feature will make it into the game. Engineers will be able to build emplacements and fortifications, as well as stationary support weapons. Regular soldiers may be able to create light fortifications too. Each soldier who has the fortification features, also owns a resource pool that limits the amount of fortifications that can be build. To deploy weaponry, you will need to have enough MP available.



Furthermore, we are working on a new tank armor system, that gets rid of the random damage and allows us to easier balance the tank combat. Our main goal is to make tank combat more interesting and skill based, as well as balance infantry vs. armored vehicles gameplay for more entertaining battles.


We are also prototyping a new environment landscape, that will help us to create proper far distance views. It's quite a drastic change, so we will upgrade one map after another with the new system, but it's clearly worth it!



Our new netcode will support 64-bit in multiplayer and reduce the lag you are experiencing, especially in first and third person controls. This means, it will not only enhance stability but also improve the online experience. We hope to have it available in a few months. Dedicated severs may possibly follow, as well.

Thanks for your attention, stay tuned for more updates soon! ːcta_emo1ː

Let us know! ːcta_emo10ː

Thanks you all for the big launch of Version 1.0!

Many new players have joined the ranks and the online community is already 10 times larger than before! ːcta_emo10ː

We think it's time to give you a small status update on what's to come next and what plans we have for the near future.



You may have noticed, that the singleplayer campaign comes without VO at the moment. We weren't able to do the last tweaking on them in-time, but we will deliver them to you next week.


We are working on a new coop gamemode for your to enjoy with your friends. It puts the emphasis on the first person controls and your skills to work as a team. Your task will be to tactically eliminate waves of enemies with all the tools and weaponry you can find on the battlefield. Only the fittest will survive!


We will deliver you new hand animations for the first person mode quite soon!


Of course, we are also working on a set of improvements, including better AI, bugfixes and performance enhancements.


Due to the 64-bit transition a fully synced client to client network no longer works properly. We added a lot of fixes to enhance the stability, but it's not good enough at this point. We started to work on a new netcode a while ago and we can hopefully provide you a timely update. In any case, this is a top priority for us and we are also looking into temporarily solutions to improve the situation in the meantime. Depending on your CPU generation, you may be affected more or less by this.


Please stay tuned for more news soon! ːcta_emo1ː
