In our Raid gamemode, every life matters; hold the line as the defenders, take up ambush positions with your squad, and critically stay alive to hold the objective. Alternatively, assault the objective as the attacking team by advancing with your squad, suppressing the enemy, and wiping out the defenders to capture the objective.We designed Raid as our principle gamemode because we want to put the player in the boots of an infantry soldier and instantly experience a slice of hectic, hardcore combat on real-life battlefields without having to run around a large map trying to find the action.Key FeaturesHardcore squad vs squad objective-based Raid gamemode to experience the intensity of battle where every single life matters in short intense rounds.Focused infantry combat in real-world historic locations, rendered in the stunning CRYENGINE.Lead the way by suppressing the enemy and use squad-based tactics to capture or defend the objectives and wipe out the enemy.Fight with authentic weaponry and equipment as part of the British or German forces.Immersive 3D audio that puts you into the intense firefights and helps you to pinpoint the enemy gunfire (headphones required).Inspiration for the GameThe team developing Vanguard: Normandy 1944 came together because of the desire to play a historically accurate, tactical, team-based multiplayer game that is still accessible and fun to play (yes, we do believe those features can co-exist!). We don’t want to spend 20 minutes walking to an objective, or game rounds lasting over an hour. We want to create an intense and tactical objective-based shooter in a modern engine that is fun to play, yet players still face the threat that a single bullet can end their life. You will find that a well organised squad utilising suppression and manoeuvring as a single fighting unit is the most effective road to success.
