We have several changes lined up, and now it’s time for you to try them! Of course, and as usual, we have set up an Open Beta for you. The Beta will become the live version when the Spring sale starts.

removedHighlightsIn Conquest, operation size ‘unlimited’ has been removed. You can still go unlimited by selecting "next operation” at the end of a campaign in order to keep your assets, veterancy and research. This way, you avoid playing on the same handful of maps with increasing amounts of persistent damage.

Community members! Because we’ll be taking part in the Steam Spring Sale, we think today is a really good moment to bring some QoL changes to Call to Arms - Gates of Hell. We have several changes lined up, and now it’s time for you to try them! Of course, and as usual, we have set up an Open Beta for you. The Beta will become the live version when the Spring sale starts.

Highlights

  • ‘Auto Vaulting’: Infantry can now jump over fences, low walls, and will do so automatically when following movement orders

  • 'Manual Vaulting': While directly controlling a human, either in classic direct control or 3rd person, you can now use a keybind to jump over fences and small walls

  • In Conquest, operation size ‘unlimited’ has been removed. You can still go unlimited by selecting "next operation” at the end of a campaign in order to keep your assets, veterancy and research. This way, you avoid playing on the same handful of maps with increasing amounts of persistent damage.
