War Front: Turning Point Multiplayer Demo DownloadFollowing a late October and early November stuffed full of some really great demos, things have been pretty calm in that section lately. But finally, the storm has returned (or is it just a stray gust of wind?), and this time it's the Germans from CDV trying to blow us away. To that end, they are offering us a War Front: Turning Point multiplayer demo weighing in at over 500 MB, in which we get to command the Allied or German forces from Digital Reality's upcoming strategy game. Of course, with a certain amount of limitations:
- Two playable sides (Germans and Allies)
- One 1 vs. 1 map, and one 3 vs. 3 player map
- Skirmish mode – playable against the AI
- A full tutorial
- Tech level 2 and 3 units available from the start, along with several super weapons
Despite having this demo ready so "soon", the Hungarians from Digital Reality still have some work to do on their long delayed game, as War Front is only expected to be released towards the end of February 2007.
Finally, here are a few words about the game provided by CDV:
"What would happen if Hitler had been assassinated early on in WWII and the German war engine came under control of a new regime? Digital Reality and CDV aim to answer that question in War Front: Turning Point, bringing gamers an "alternate history" real-time strategy game. Gamers will be exposed to a whole new WWII timeline, new battles and a variety of secret and experimental weapons. Stunning graphics and a refreshing plot will keep gamers pinned to their PCs as they attempt to alter or ensure the outcome of vastly different World War II."
