Gameplay
What kind of mod is World at War, exactly? Well, let's not throw around overused and stereotyped adjectives. The mod is not "realistic", nor is it "arcadey" or "deathmatchy." Nor is the mod strictly fast-paced or slow. World at War is a tactical shooter, and the gameplay will reflect the varied realities of a battlefield. Move slowly, create a strong point in some protected hills, and engage your enemy with enfilading fire at long range... or hop into your Humvee, dash up a hill into an opposing camp, and hose down anything that moves while firing your small arms from the windows. Creep, crawl, amble, or charge... the choice is yours.
World at War will achieve this by giving you a varied arsenal suited to many tasks. Rifles will be accurate at long range, and sniper rifles even more so... machineguns will be ideal for suppressing fire and covering open spaces... carbines will balanced all-around weapons... and pistols will be a typical last resort. Just aim down the iron sights, and if your gun is good enough, and your target in range, you should be able to put meat on the table. Just don't forget to compensate for the realistic bullet ballistics.
As you can probably tell already, this mod will place a premium on infantry combat, although you'll surely want to spice things up by hopping into one of our many fighting vehicles.
Teamplay
Name a single mod that doesn't claim to promote teamplay. World at War will be no different. However, we have a few tricks up our sleeves...
Teamplay will be encouraged through the use of a Squad System. Upon entering a server, players can choose to either create a new squad or join an existing squad. In the first release, the squad types will be Rifle, Support (Machinegun), and Sniper. Other squad types will be added later. The creator of a squad becomes the designated Squad Leader, and he gains certain abilities. Also, each squad member will choose a class in the squad. These classes will be somewhat more subtle than those found in Team Fortress Classic or Battlefield 2. Furthermore, teamplay will be encouraged because there will be considerable gameplay and reward benefits in staying and fighting with your squad.
Don't feel like being bound to teamplay? Just want to get a quick round in before dinner? Don't trust your fellow teammates? No problem! You can opt to not join a squad and play solo. There are no penalties for fighting alone... however, you won't get the benefits of being in a squad. Wait, what benefits?

The first trio of screenshots is from Prowl's map of the Bajina Basta hydroelectric power plant and dam near Perućac. Teams will face linear battles on each bank of the river, intersected by bridges where men and equipment can safely cross.
The second trio of screenshots are also the work of Prowl. These screenies depict the Danube River Valley, where American and Soviet forces will fight their first battle of the war. How will it start? How will it escalate? Who's to blame? Keep watching the War Stories section for some good ole World at War fiction.
The final three screenshots are of the Sava River Valley (gee, we really enjoy our rivers and our valleys, don't we?) I premiered this map several months ago, and since then it has been expanded and revamped. New foliage and more props have improved the landscape.

The red might shall live again!
So F****G sad this mod died.One of the most good looking mods of them all.Teaser????Where?Ingame teaser you say or the flash teaser with only text?
Looking good, the teaser is very nice!
It ****** me off reading about those ************* hijackers. They should be put in their place.
Looking forward to playing World at War. I know you guys won't disappoint.
I'm effectively putting World at War on hiatus.
Best of luck everyone
Hope thing will work out and that the team will get along again
Are you guys switching engines?Please don't go for unreal engine :) Stay on this one :=)
I wish you guys the best of luck! FA was the greatest mod ever made.. and I have high hopes in this one ^^
Hope to test something soon! :D
Keep up the good work, fellas. As the spiritual successor to FA, this game will undoubtedly blow us all away. Of course, your "competition" can't exactly keep up. A team of has-beens and wannabes will never match the intensity of the core group of talented individuals in your ranks. I know it's not a competition, but damnit, I wish it were. I'd love to see ya'll mop the floor with that glorified Firearms cover band. That's right. Cover band. What else would you call a group of guys using someone else's material? Carry on fellas. Best wishes and take care of yourselves!
Tnx :)
