Synopsis
Fronts of Battle (fob) is a free World War 2 total conversion mod for the
Source engine similar in style to Day of Defeat: Source and
Counter-Strike: Source. Each map will have a designated army (only
identified as Allies/Axis) but you will be able to play in the
following armies on the Western & Eastern Europe, and Pacific theaters:
-------------------------------------------------
Allies
-United States Army/United States Airborne/United States Marines
-British Army
-Soviet Army
Axis Powers
-Germany (Wehrmacht, Fallschrimjäger)
-Italian Army
-Japanese Army
-------------------------------------------------
The game will feature many maps and weapons, all of which will be elaborated on in the next section.
Gameplay
The gameplay in Fronts of Battle will be similar to
Day of Defeat: Source and Counter-Strike: Source. You will be able to
choose up to a total of five player models per team (varying on the map), and then you
go on to select a class. Each class will have its own strengths and
weaknesses. More will be clarified in the Classes and Weapons section.
All of the maps will have specific objectives. However, these objectives are in development and therefore will not be released to the public.
Classes and Weapons
There will be five classes in Fronts of
Battle: NCO, Rifleman, Assault, Support, Machine Gunner, and Sniper.
You will, as mentioned before, be able to select up to eight player
models before picking your class. You will also have the liberty to
choose your weapons when you opt for a class.

Well, it took me a day and a half to acquire and edit these sounds, but it's done. These sounds have been collected from FPSBANANA and a few from Flashkit. Do not worry, I have credited the appropiate people. :)
I took two weapons (Type 44 Calvary Rifle) and the Tommy Gun out because I felt that they were not necessary. I also forgot to add in the rocket sounds for the Bazooka & Panzerfaust and sounds for the machine guns; I will add them in tomorrow.
If you guys are asking yourselves "Any sample, AI?" then look no further.
