WWII Online: Chokepoint is an engaging and authentic World War 2 multiplayer FPS experience that puts you in the boots of the soldiers fighting in Normandy in 1944.
We aim to deliver an authentic experience that requires team work and tactical approaches to win the game. We plan to cover the popular maps from the original game and expand beyond that, into the Netherlands and Southern Germany regions with coming releases.
Howdy Everyone!
La Fière was one of the famous airborne engagements during the Normandy Campaign, known for being one of the bloodiest, small unit battles of the invasion, and we hope to capture that same intensity in our take of the battle. Those of you who have been with us for a long time no doubt already know of the map, and we've taken player feedback and suggestions from our playtests to improve on the design, and make it all the better.
Today, just like we did with Carentan on our previous Inside Surveillance, we're taking you on a tour of the main areas of the map.
As always, note that the map is still unfinished, and that a few areas need some touching up.
The first objective is the German held Manor. The Allies have 3 main avenues of attack. The main road, the Hay Pile Field, and the Manor Field.

Next, the Allies will have to take control of the bridge. There are 3 main avenues of attack across the flooded river into the German bridgehead. The Bridge, the Shallows, and the Tree Bridge.

And for those feeling like those paths may be too conspicuous, one can always take a chance at swimming across, preferably with someone covering you.

After Securing the bridgehead. The Allies must continue up the road to take out a German 88 emplacement before getting into the village. They can keep pushing down the Main Road using the downed tanks for cover, trudge through the flooded Glider Field or try to flank through the Flooded Field.

With the Flak88 out of Commission, the American Paratroopers can finally head into the village and take out the German HQ, but first, they'll have to get control the Cauquiny, defended by a ruined house turned MG nest that guards the Main road.

Once the MG nest is neutralized, it's a straight shot to the German HQ in close quarters battle from courtyard to courtyard, and through the bombed Church of Saint-Ferréol de Cauquigny.

That's all for today's Inside Surveillance on Carentan! Keep in mind everything's still subject to change, but you can get an early look at what awaits you once you strap up and head feet first into the Battle of Carentan in WWII Online: Chokepoint!
Thank you all for reading, and hope to see you again on the next Inside Surveillance.
See you on the battlefield!

Hey everyone! Vanguardxe here, I'm coming to you guys to tell you about the recent going's on for the game, and where to follow us from the future, aswell...
It's been a while since you heard from us but we're back with another update video, showcasing what we've been up to the past months. We're still working...
No, the project isn't dead. Far off! After this 6 month of update silent we're back with a large news update video! Enjoy!
Hi,
I have been working on a fictional WW2 project which was based as a mod of a UE5 game. The base game is no longer developed for modding, so I have lots of WW2 assets available (3d models, PBR materials, effects,...) and several mechanics I made in blueprints. Here you can see videos and more of the content:

As it would be a shame for those assets not to be used, I was wondering if you would be interested in them? Also I could do level-design in Unreal, as that is my hobby for many years. Here some portfolio examples of mine:

hi, can you add in "server rules" to have killcam? for those like me who love a more arcade gameplay and hate noob campers, thank you
Hi just a quick question. Is this still going to be free to play like the mods were or did you move to make the game a retail experience? Only asking since you were nominated for upcoming indie game.
will each map have different divisions to play as? like Carentan will have the 101st and 6th Fallschirmjager?
One question, Will the 82nd be returning?
I downloaded and installed the game but, there are no servers. How do I get to play ?
Yo, some guys were going around impersonating you guys and were put on blast! This dude put them in their place!
It gained us some publicity as well! So who ever those 2 dudes were... thanks? :D
It is possible to DL the game yet? :) and are you going to add fallschirmjager? :) Thanks i'm impatient to play this game again :)
Really excited to see this get finished and I really hope that some YouTubers will pick this up (Like Criken). That way the game can get the attention it deserves :)
