#Isonzo game release date full#
Of course, actually herding a team full of people and getting them to work together for more than 5-seconds is a huge challenge in of itself, so that will likely stop Officer’s becoming too big for their shoes.Įngineers are the only class capable of building mortars, machine guns and a few basic defensive structures like sandbags. And they get access to an ability that briefly suspends the respawn timer, allowing for big pushes to capture territory or defend against a charge. These players can cause massive casualties, and the best of them will be able to swing the tide of a match by smartly giving their team cover or bombarding an area just before an assault. Then, Officers pick up a field telephone to call in a variety of support, from artillery barrages to mustard gas and massive airstrikes.
Only two players get to step into the well-polished shoes of an Officer and wield the dangerous flare gun which they can use to mark locations on the map.
There hasn’t been any word on the release schedule, though.Įach of the 48 players gets a choice whenever they enter a match or respawn – what type of soldier do they want to be? What battlefield role needs to be filled? The deadliest class, and therefore the most regulated, is undoubtedly the Officer. Thankfully, there are already three planned expansions that will increase the map count, with three new locations coming in the first one. You might begin in a valley, then battle up a steep incline and finish up in a town, for example. Beating back the defenders is like entering a new map entirely sometimes, as Blackmill do a good job of changing up the environments. Since each match is a slow advancement across multiple sections, it makes each of the 3 available maps feel much larger and more varied. In real life, the Italian forces were at a huge disadvantage, and while that isn’t so pronounced in the game, there is a definite feel that the defenders do have the edge in many of the locations. Being set in the Italian front, many of the locations are in steep, rugged mountains where the attackers have to fight uphill, giving the defenders the terrain advantage as they rain down machine gun fire. That’s where the new maps come into the picture. If the attackers succeed in taking the objectives, the defenders must retreat to the next section of the map, build a few defences and gear up for a new assault. The new Assault game mode is the focus of Isonzo, with one team of 24-players having to push through multiple lines of defence and capture objectives, while the other team of 24 attempts to hold their ground and reduce the enemy’s respawn tickets to zero.
