  Iron Front : Liberation 1944 tactical war simulator based on arma 2 engine so If you like Arma iron front might be an interesting game for you so now i'm gonna say a couple words bout story mode firstly as i think single really sucks moreover be sure that you'll get bored playing that piece of shit there're so many buggs you can stuck in textures for instanse or just fall down through the damn earth right into the hell e.t.c yet some old animations from arma ruin the picture even multiplayer doesn't work anymore but in general this game isn't too bad on the one hand we've got buggy single and non working multiplayer but on the other well working editor where personally i spent about 90 hours it gives you an opportunity to make some cool screens or just have fun with units in conclusion i can't recommend the game to anyone except arma lovers but i'm sure that every game have its fans and this one isn't exception 5/10

  Thumbs halfway. If you have ARMA 3, there's a newer version of this MOD. If you have ARMA 2, you can install this mod for free. If you don't have ARMA 3 or 2, you're better of buying either game rather than Iron Front. If you have anxiety and buying games makes it a little better, like I do, then get this. It runs Ok in Linux via Proton with some tinkering.

  After purchase you can play this as a MOD within the Arma 2 AND Arma 3 games to keep the multiplayer functionality and provide many many visual and gameplay improvements. Go to the official Bohemia Interactive forums and check the threads "Iron Front as mod in Arma 2: Combined Operations" and "Iron Front as mod in Arma 3". This is a very lovely tribute based on the Arma 2 engine. You will enjoy all the richness of features - open world scenario with an editor for unlimited possibilities. All troops and vehicles are high quality and high in detail. Weapon and vehicle sounds are also pretty decent. Playing the mission "Normandy crossing" gave me that immersion, only the Arma series can provide. Laying there with my team at dawn, covering in the grass and behind bushes. Looking at the wonderful colors of the sky, listening to the beautiful soft wind breeze around our helmets and for a short time I remember how it was playing in the wilderness as a young kid. But then reality forces me to focus ont the gravel road to the west. My team hears it - I hear it. There it is. The terrifying whistling and twittering of German tank tracks coming closer and closer. They are less than 200 meters away, but we still have no visual contact. Oh god, save our souls. I order my team to hold fire. Then we have visual contact to a German halftrack fully manned with troops. I know, that the only possibilitiy to survive, is to take out the gunner first, because he can erase our whole team with one single blast. They come to a halt, just 50 meters away from us. This is our chance! Quickly I focus on the gunner and order my members 2 to 5 to attack him, the rest of my team will handle the two guards on foot to the left and right, Open fire! Lucky us, the gunner and guards drop immediately, but the whole squad now disembarks the halftrack, running for cover. A fierce battle ends as we empty our last mags into the one Kraut calling for reinforcements. We check the dead Germans for ammo, gear and weapons and say goodbye to our fallen comrades. Suddenly we are shocked to death. There it is again. The whistling of death....

  Would I recommend this game in 2023? That depends on whose asking. 1) IF the player still enjoys playing ARMA 2 in 2023, then yes. (2) IF the player likes to play multiplayer matches strictly against bots since the online multiplayer is gone, then yes. (3) IF the player enjoys making their own missions on the mission editor on brand new maps made just for IF44, then yes. Regarding playing bots on multiplayer: It is very simple to set up. First the player must choose a LAN setting, even though you are not connected to another computer you can still do this! You have 29 (yes, 29) maps to choose from that are listed as having "AI" on them. But it doesn't stop there. Once a player chooses the map that has AI on it, they can click on "parameters" and adjust absolutely everything in the match! That includes having 50 bots PER SIDE!!! Vehicles galore to choose from with bots skill level settings makes the multiplayer matches very challenging and feeling like a decent battle is taking place. The original Russian/German campaign is typical of ARMA 2 style campaigns. Personally I can take them or leave them. With this being the Digital War Edition the player gets to also include Americans in their personal maps they create. There is no American campaign however. So, if you can say yes to the three main things I addressed above then yes, I would highly recommend this game to you. If you say no to any of them, then maybe pass.

  This is a very misunderstood game. Forget the campaigns, forget the multiplayer (sadly), if you're competent with the Arma editor then there is a hell of a lot of fun to be had here. There's an endless amount of possibilites and you can create the scenarios you've always wanted to see in an Eastern Front title. It's more immersive than any of the Arma titles and the maps are incredible.

  This Game is dead, long story short. But if you interested in playing it you can if you can be stubborn about the bug, and if you want to play this online you better join a group that plays it. But it's fun if you get used to the that this is Arma 2 but hardcore mode. Even more sad this was the first game i bought and i later found out there this thing called "Game Spy" But i suggest it if you want it in a collection or some reason

  This game, aside from glaring bugs and performance issues, is not at all user friendly. I'm an Arma veteran, but this game is a pain to play. If you would like a solid WWII experience on the Real Virtuality Engine, get the mod for Arma 3. It's not the nicest, but then again, I enjoy it much more than this game. The one good thing I have to say about this game is the voice acting holds up, but that will not save the game in this instance.

  This is a great game, besides having a few bugs, but looking past it the gameplay is great. For those who look at a game bug, you have to look past it, you cant just look at one glitch and uninstall the game. Enjoy everything else and forget about the bug.
