The past few weeks have been exceptionally busy time for the team so we must first apologise for the interruption in our series of weapon previews. They will return in the near future but in the meantime we firstly would like to share a new atmospheric in-game concept featuring a British infantry section by [TWDEV] volcol.


The piece "Faire La Guerre" has been previously featured as the backing track to our weapon update videos but we thought we would share the full version for your enjoyment following the positive response it received. The piece was composed by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen and arranged by [TWDEV] Callum Bidgen & [TWDEV] SwadianFC.


We get a lot of questions about the game from the community. We enjoy responding to these but two of the more common questions we thought we would share for clarification.

Quote:Q: WHAT ARE THE MINIMUM SPECS?
A: There is extensive testing and optimisation yet to be done but tentatively the minimum specs are as follows:

  • Operating System: Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista SP1, Windows 7, Windows 8
  • CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz, AMD Athlon 64 X2 2.0 GHz or better (a multi-core processor is strongly recommended)
  • Memory: 1 GB RAM (2 GB recommended)
  • Video Card: nVidia 8800GT 512MB RAM, ATI 3850HD 512MB RAM or better (SM 3.0 minimum)

Q: WILL I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE GAME?
A: Traction Wars is PLAY FOR FREE. We have no plans to charge for the game or to have any form of in-game store.

Will it matter in wich part of the chest you get shot? For example if you get shot in the chest without the bullet hitting any vital parts you survive, but if you get shot in the heart area you die from one bullet? The groin should be one hit one kill :)

Yes, it matters where you're getting shot, just as it would in real-life. That being said, a bullet to the chest would be quite deadly for a number of reasons really - perhaps not immidiate but certainly after a short time in all cases.

Hope this answers some of your questions!

I hope you guys make it similar to Forgotten Hope 2, rifles usually one sho kill while automatic guns take a few more.

Yes but as far as I know the playerbase has drastically declined, especially for the North American playerbase.

Im still playing it daily, the player base is, honestly, small. but every day we get the 762 server with 100+ players, which is enough to have lots of fun.

Although thats the only server i have seen with players in a long time.

While we aim to have a realistic representation of shot impacts, blood and wounds, we cannot say as to whether or not that level of gore will be included in the final game as it's a tricky subject.
