Day of Infamy takes you to the battlegrounds of Southern and Western Europe during World War II. There are 10 maps, ranging from war-torn cities to farm villages, fortified beachheads and snow-covered forests. Whether you are fighting for the U.S. Army, Commonwealth Forces or the German Wehrmacht, there is a vast arsenal of over 70 historical weapons and attachments.
The game will support battles of up to 100 players at a time, "with infantry, tanks, artillery and a shifting front line." It will feature famous conflicts from throughout the war, beginning with "several villages and the town of St. Marie du Mont" in northern France, with a 1:1 scale battlefield four square kilometers in size, recreated using archival and satellite photos, and height imagery. The initial release "will pit the faded might of the German OKW against the relatively green forces of the United States Army," while British, Soviet, and Japanese forces will be released in conjunction with future theaters.
"We're aiming to make a game that mixes the high-intensity carnage, weapon mechanics and brutality of Red Orchestra 2 with the operational, supply and construction mechanics of Project Reality beneath the meta strategy of a game similar to Company of Heroes," the studio wrote. "We prefer intense, terrifying and intelligent instead of long, tedious and boring."
