The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy time for the team so we must first apologise for the interruption in our series of weapon previews. They will return in the near future but in the meantime we firstly would like to share a new atmospheric in-game concept featuring a British infantry section by [TWDEV] volcol.


The piece "Faire La Guerre" has been previously featured as the backing track to our weapon update videos but we thought we would share the full version for your enjoyment following the positive response it received. The piece was composed by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen and arranged by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen & [TWDEV] SwadianFC.


We get a lot of questions about the game from the community. We enjoy responding to these but two of the more common questions we thought we would share for clarification.

Quote:Q: WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM SPECS?
A: There is extensive testing and optimisation yet to be done but tentatively the minimum specs are as follows:

  • Operating System: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7, Windows 8
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.0 GHz or better (a multi-core processor is strongly recommended)
  • Memory: 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
  • Video Card: nVidia 8800GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512MB RAM or better (SM 3.0 minimum)

Q: WILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAME?
A: Traction Wars is PLAY FOR FREE. We have no plans to charge for the game or to have any form of in-game store.

How realistic is it going to be? Like ro ,arma? Is there going to be bandaging wounds, supression effect, bullet drop etc. ?

These are just some of the many suggestions we've received over the time, and we're concidering them all.

We aim for a highly realistic and rewarding gameplay, where communication and team-effort is essential to win a game - even though I'm a huge fan of realism I've actually never played RO or ArmA, haha!

Hope this answers some of your questions!

In my opinion this already looks tremendously better than RO. RO is okay, but it suffers from poor shooting mechanics and painfully bad animations... which is something that Traction Wars definitely does not suffer from.

I do hope that you include suppression effects (like in battlefield 3), I think that it is a brilliant game mechanic that increases realism 100% without losing gameplay value.

I'm sorry, but Red Orchestra 2 did not suffer from poor shooting mechanics and bad animations. ( I think you are talking about RO Ostfront). RO 2 had a nice cover sistem wich I really liked. I am not going to argue about RO. This game will be better because they can take mechanics from other games and make them better. Just blurring the screen like in bf 3is not a good supression effect. The supression effect should make shooting back very hard.

RO2 was good, but not perfect. The animations were mostly very good but there were a couple that were outright painful. The movement in that game though was far to sluggish.

I did like the cover system though.

I don't think that battfield 3 had a perfect suppression system, but it was more function (gamplaywise) than any other I've seen. If they start with that concept and improve on it I would be very happy.

Overall I still think that Traction Wars looks much more fun.

I love the movement in that game. I like the lack of an immediate response like the soldier is building up speed what with all that equipment he is carrying (even though a PPsh and a few frag grenades isn't that heavy.)

Hehe well i guess its the graphic card maybe? or pehaps the fact that i can take playing on surprisingly low fps lol (12 fps is the minimum i can play heh) At Cryisis 1 i played it with 20 fps +/- with no shadows and specia effects and textures on high.
