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 www.heroesandgenerals.com community site.
One great war with thousands of players
Heroes & Generals delivers a full blown first-person shooter experience, complete with intense infantry and vehicle combat in a wide variety of modes and missions, fought on behalf of the Axis or Allies. As your customizable character advances in rank, you might join a small squad of elite soldiers operating behind enemy lines, or fall-in with a larger section fighting an epic battle for a strategic bridgehead.
The result of every clash alters the ongoing battle for European domination. Each conflict takes place across diverse battlegrounds including contested cities, factories, airfields and war torn country-sides, each one represented on the strategic map with hundreds of key locations.
As these battles are waged, resources and global strategies are managed on a tactical overview map linked to the game’s innovative War Server. Here, players who choose to be strategic officers will have the entire map at their disposal and can decide how to manage battlefield assets and where to push the attack.

I want an Alpha key! :D
Me to! This looks awesome!
Makes me think of World War II online.
En.wikipedia.org
World War II Online: Battleground Europe is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) computer game. It was released was on June 6, 2001 for Windows, with the Apple Macintosh version being released in 3Q 2002. The game is set in 1940-43 World War II Europe. It is a virtual battlefield, a combined arms war simulation. A player can command or crew a variety of accurately modeled aircraft, armored fighting vehicles, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, and three naval vessels, or fight as a foot-soldier with a variety of infantry weapons. The game is played in real time alongside or against other players as German, British and French forces in a persistent world. Command structures and missions provide strategic and tactical layers while ranks provide a RPG layer by demonstrating leadership roles
Indeed, I used to play that game but it's getting old and the graphics haven't improved for quite some time (they improve some models here and there but the overall quality is still about the same), in the meantime this looks like it could be decent.
What it sounds like is a copy of Battleground europe AKA World war II online,but what it looks like is completely different. Gonna try to get an alpha key for sure
Graphics wise, yeah, it's much better.
But BG:E has worse graphics and performance is already terrible in that. Due to the thousands of potential players hiding around the corner. Can't imagine how much of a performance hog this will be.
I believe the scale of the battles will be smaller than in BG:E because its says: "Each conflict takes place across diverse battlegrounds including contested cities, factories, airfields and war torn country-sides, each one represented on the strategic map with HUNDREDS of key locations."
Well I have barely player BG:E, but as far as I know the entire map, which I believe to be pretty much the entire Eastern Europe is open at the same time, right? Not contested at the same time and of course not rendered at the same time, but still open for exploration.
Looks fantastic! Hope I can snag an alpha key myself :) Played Battleground Europe for a bit but couldn't get anyone to play with me because of the graphics.
Looks like a interesting game, i would love to try it out
Another WWll fps...
Sounds a bit like EVE with the whole "your actions can affect the whole game". Still, indie games are usually worth a shot.
If you are going to add Airborne divisions over Normandy, count me in alpha!
Hmmh is there something wrong with your servers? I'm trying to register, but the site 404s every time.
Yeah, I know - we're currently experiencing really heavy traffic, but are working hard to fix it. I actually think you can register now, but our community-site is still down. Otherwise go to our Facebook-page for latest news: Facebook.com
I'm actually stuck in the

Every time I click login it shows me a 404-screen. It doesn't let me to register again with my email either because, "I already have an account".
