Gameplay in the action side of Heroes and Generals is fairly standard, kill the bad guys and take their points. I’ll talk about how the concept plays out in reality, the combined arms aspect, gameplay mechanics and balance. Here I’ll talk about how the game plays from a pure gameplay experience. Spawn points are tied into what territory you currently control.įor the concept category, I give Heroes and Generals an 8 out of 10. Control points are connected in rows and must be captured in a certain order, this makes the battles a little more focused and intense in these areas. The capture side of things is a little more linear which is nice. You shoot enemies, capture objectives and try to drive the enemies points down. They can control many more assault teams than the other classes.Īsides from these features, Heroes and Generals is a fairly typical FPS game. Instead they focus entirely on the RTS aspect. Generals cannot join the FPS side (‘Action Game’) of the game. They have very fast movement speed in the RTS aspect of the game. They can shoot down enemy aircraft and harass ground units. They can’t fit into many capture points, so they may not do so well at capturing. Tanks are great at breaking up and stalling enemy infantry, fighting other tanks, and defending points. They can parachute from aircraft to land anywhere on the map, and are great at taking strategic points. Recon are the sniper class of the game, they have access to improved bolt action upgrades, and a unique scout vehicle. They’re dirt cheap and have a huge amount of spawns. They can use most weapons, have a fair vehicle selection and have the largest equipment allowance. Infantry is the most basic and common class. The different classes in the game all have different strengths and weaknesses. The first nation to control 15 major cities wins the war. Generals have a much higher command limit, which increases as they level up.Īssault teams level up and can be upgraded into better teams as they gain XP. Regular infantry ‘Heroes’ (The FPS side of the game) can control a maximum of 2 assault teams in the RTS side of the game (Once they reach the appropriate rank). I’ve seen plenty of matches where one team might just have some scattered infantry, and the other side has many tanks and planes, only for the underdog to wipe the floor with them. The resources in the matches are not balanced (They’re completely player driven), and some interesting fights can occur. Generals move units around towns/cities on a map of Europe, and players fight in battles where forces meet. War battles are entirely player controlled. Once you’re a high enough rank (It doesn’t take long) you can participate in war battles. The other unique feature in the game is the ‘War’ system. There’s also a perk that gives you extra ammo. You can change the amount of ammo you get with a weapon too! You can remove all the spare ammo a weapon has (You only get what’s in the loaded magazine) to make the weapon 1 point lighter, or you can double the amount of spare ammo for one more point. Infantry has the most at 10, recon gets 7, and the other classes get 6 each. Want to carry just a pistol and a massive amount of explosives? Can do! Want to carry 4 knives and go around shanking people? Yep.ĭifferent classes have a different number of points. Instead of the traditional loadout system where you’re forced to carry a primary weapon, pistol and one or two special items, Heroes and Generals simply uses a point system. Heroes and Generals brings a fresh, new loadout concept to the table. In this section I’ll talk about the unique loadout system, the ‘war’ system and the character classes within the game. I’ll finish with a summary and a few things I would change or fix to enhance the experience if I could. The game concept, the gameplay experience, the Graphics and the Audio. Nearly 600 hours in, this is my opinion on the current state of the game. As I mentioned in my last article I’ve been playing Heroes and Generals on an off since its beta days, back when the game was a browser game.
