Battalion 1944

The spirit of classic Call of Duty lives on in this throwback.

- Chris Thursten

Almost ten years ago, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare ended World War II’s grip on the shooter genre. Its red dot sights and Clancy-ish attitude to the war on terror firmly established Call of Duty as the world’s premier mainstream FPS and ensured a decade of copycats.

Fond memories of classic CoD persist, however, and they form the basis of Battalion 1944. Kickstarted to the tune of £300,000, Bulkhead’s throwback shooter promises to bring back what you loved about Call of Duty 2 and Medal of Honor in a modern engine and with contemporary matchmaking tech.
