01 / THE GUIDE
Campaign Journey
The campaign presents a series of adventure‑filled missions that move the player through varied fronts, from besieged French cities to open Alpine spaces, illustrating the global scope of the conflict.
Each mission showcases the technological shift of the era, letting players experience new weapons and tactics that changed combat during the Great War.
- Follow each mission’s objective prompts to understand the specific front’s challenges.
- Notice environmental details that hint at alternate routes or hidden objectives.
02 / THE GUIDE
Large‑Scale Multiplayer
Multiplayer battles accommodate up to 64 participants, creating expansive engagements where infantry, cavalry, and vehicle crews must cooperate to achieve map objectives.
The high player count produces complex encounters that rely on coordinated attacks and defensive holds, especially when confronting fortified positions.
- Use voice or text chat to synchronize assaults with teammates.
- Assign roles early—infantry, vehicle operators, and support—to cover multiple fronts.
03 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Roster
Players can operate a spectrum of vehicles, from tanks and biplanes to massive Behemoths such as airships, armored trains, and dreadnoughts, each offering distinct tactical options.
These vehicles provide firepower and mobility that can shift the balance of a fight, making them integral to many map objectives.
- Practice each vehicle type in a low‑risk area before joining a live match.
- Coordinate vehicle arrivals with infantry pushes for combined‑arms effectiveness.
04 / THE GUIDE
Dynamic Environments
The game features fully destructible terrain and ever‑changing weather, causing landscapes to evolve moment to moment as explosions create new craters and fortifications collapse.
These changes mean engagements rarely repeat, rewarding players who adapt their positioning and tactics to the evolving battlefield.
- Use explosives to breach enemy cover when advancing.
- Observe how destroyed structures open new sightlines for long‑range fire.
05 / THE GUIDE
Operations Mode
Operations links several multiplayer maps into a series of interconnected battles; attackers must break a defensive line and push onto the next map, while defenders aim to halt the advance.
Success depends on coordinated pushes and strategic use of each map’s terrain, testing sustained teamwork across multiple engagements.
- Plan your advance across maps before the round begins.
- Defenders should hold choke points to delay the attacking force.
