From the creative minds that brought you the Hitman series comes Heroes & Generals, the first title from independent studio Reto-Moto. Heroes & Generals – now in Alpha testing – introduces an unprecedented mix of frontline shooter gameplay and strategic campaign management in a massive-scale multiplayer online war.

Imagine a game where your actions can help turn the tide of a persistent online war being fought by thousands of other real players, either in the role of a hardened soldier engaged in blistering first-person shooter combat, or as a strategic officer managing the grand scheme of the campaign on a tactical war map. Heroes & Generals will deliver this combined one-two punch in a thrilling multiplayer online battle across authentic WW II settings.

As H&G enters a vital playable testing phase, we encourage all gamers to enlist for an Alpha-key now at our Heroes & Generals Debut Teaser community site.

This could be good if they go for more realistic combat, rather than DoD-style gameplay. I know it's WIP, but it really bugs me how the player's gun is right up in his face all the time -- it doesn't look natural and it's very distracting. Hopefully this will be changed.

Other than that, this could be a very cool concept if delivered right.

This is my issue. What does it do that BF3 doesn't do better? The trailer didn't show anything about the RTS aspect, so I don't know how that portion of the game will turn out. Perhaps it will shine in that aspect.

From the footage released so far my major concerns is the size of the guns take up WAY too much of the screen and the combat looks too DoD-ish. But its early and its from guys that made Hitman so theres plenty of promise. Now to wait for a key.

Hell I'd love it if the gameplay was DoD-ish. DoD, besides RO betas and the 1st two BiAs, still offered the best ww2 atmosphere imo. (in comparison both DoD:S & RO2 failed eavily, altough of course dod:s was the much bigger fail)

atmosphere != gameplay

And what is RO betas? You mean the mod?

I do agree with you about DoD:S though, that game is so very bland. Valve's worst game imo.
