Experience intense close-quarters battles in iconic WWII settings. Day of Infamy is a teamwork-oriented shooter which aims to be a continuation and evolution of the original Day of Defeat mod released in 2001 - brought to you by the creators of Insurgency.

Features

Strategic Gameplay
Intense core infantry mechanics and a simplified HUD create a highly visceral and immersive experience. With a reinforcement wave system tied to objectives, the game maintains an emphasis on teamwork and coordination.

Iconic WWII Battles
From the shores of Sicily and streets of Italy, to the forests of Belgium and Germany. And of course the Normandy beaches.

Historic Armies
The Allied infantry forces of the British Commonwealth and U.S. Army clash against the German Wehrmacht.

Authentic Arsenal
Depending on your team’s supply, you may customize and upgrade your gear and weaponry, affecting your appearance, weight, stamina, and movement speed. The game contains a full-range arsenal including bolt-action rifles, pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, heavy machine guns, grenades, and flamethrowers. Fix bayonets, extend magazines, or swap iron sights with period-specific customization options.

Teamwork Required
Officers can direct their team in the field. In addition to a wide variety of command options, they may call in fire support if a radio operator is nearby. Fire support options include artillery barrage and smoke screen. Local voice is used to talk to your teammates in the game, but be careful because the enemy can hear you if you’re too close. Radio operators also serve as a communication beacon to those around them, as HQ and radio operator chatter can be heard through them.

Multiplayer Modes

Designed for up to 32 players engaging in sustained infantry combat, battling over territorial and destructive objectives that increase your reinforcements.

Frontline
Both teams are given the objective of pushing through the map. A team wins when all objectives have been captured, or if the time runs out and a team has majority control of the battlefield.

Liberation
To win, your team must capture all territorial objectives to liberate the area. Capturing points will gain your team more reinforcement waves. You will gain more waves by securing points behind enemy lines.

Offensive
The attacking team must capture one point at a time pushing back the entrenched enemy. When objectives are secured by the attacking team, additional waves and time is added to prolong the battle.

Cooperative Modes

8 player squads battle a challenging AI opponent in attack or defense modes.

Stronghold
Move through enemy held territory and secure the area. Your team will be reinforced each time an objective is secured.

Patrol
Patrol the surrounding area. Be especially careful, as there are no reinforcement waves in this mode. Once your squad has reached its waypoint, you must either return to base or eliminate any discovered enemy forces in the area.

Entrenchment
Defend the line at all costs. Make sure to fall back and regroup occasionally to keep your squad reinforced.

Community Features

Mod Support
People can create mods for the game that contain all new factions, weapons, and more. With Workshop support you can expect to see custom mods, weapons, player skins, maps, and various other contributions from our talented community. We are very excited to see what the community produces.

Achievements
The game contains a diverse array of achievements for players to feel a sense of progression learning the game’s various mechanics.

This is the third news article being posted for this project. This time I'll go over some changes related to our class-system, a few improvements regarding our gunplay, new weapons and a new map.


We are finally back after a year of "stand-by", time that has helped us discuss a few matters regarding the mod itself, the gameplay and other mechanics.

One of these changes has been the decision of adding new classes which should greatly improve the multiplayer experience of this mod, encouraging teamwork and creating new alternative options gameplay-wise. These two classes are the Support and the Medic. So let's start with the Support:

The Support class in Broken Country, unlike in vanilla DoI, isn't another machinegunner, instead, our support class is something closer to an ammo supplier or machinegun-assistant. Being a Rifleman with the hability of dropping ammo pouches. In this case, these ammo pouches are quite "buffed" compared to the ones that are already in-game, since they provide more ammo and can me used multiple times. It has also a speed buff which helps with his main duty, running across the front looking for machinegunners in need. Some of you may wonder how is this supposed to improve the multiplayer experience, since supports are barely used as they are supposed to. That's why we have also decided to do some changes to the Machinegunner class itself. Now machinegunners will carry only a few mags/drums, only enough to provide a little fire support but not a very maintained one, making them very dependant on suppliers, switching the individual gamestyle of the vanilla game to a rather collective gamestyle on our mod. This means that a badly coordinated team with a MG gunner left alone and a Support running to the front just like another Rifleman will probably mean that they are doomed and they are likely to lose the match. But on the opposite side, a well coordinated team could probably crush the enemy line, which could bring a wonderful experience, not only in MP matches but also in COOP.


The Medic class in Broken Country is still a very work-in-progress thing, since we still have to work a lot on it, mainly because DoI's engine limits our options greatly. Long story short, most good medic mechanics come from Plugins. Like the ones used in the "Let's Kill Bots" servers, which introduce a Medkit that can either be dropped on the floor to create a healing area or can be used to individually heal or revive players. Dragging dead players could also be an option. That kind of Medkit would greatly improve this class' gamestyle, making it very useful and very relevant in certain situations. But as I mentioned earlier, it comes from a plugin, which means that it doesn't come from our theater but from an independent file that only works when its installed on a server. Because of that, our Medic class will be left for the moment more like Screaming Steel's medic class, being able to drop medkits that work like ammo pouches from the Support class but they give health instead of ammo, wich is also ok but not as good as it could be.

And why did we decide to implement these changes? Mainly because we wanted to improve the player's experience in general. Day of Infamy was quite innovative with the Officer-Radio system, which could decide the destiny of entire matches due to the importance of the Firesupport system and was even ported to Sandstorm. "A system that encourages teamwork and makes the game way more fun", that was the philosophy that we took as our motto and thus, we implemented in other subjects.

Coordinated MG teams and medics helping around should create a better relation between players, specially with the window of opportunities and success that they can bring to a team. Basically, this mechanic could help unite players to fight together, quite like in other class-based-games like Valorant, and perhaps even create new small groups to play coordinated, which has helped maintaining alive other games like Mount and Blade Warband. In theory, this should make our mod more attractive and less monotonous for the community. And considering the current state of Day of Infamy, that sounds like great news.

Now let's get into a different subject.


The Spanish Civil War was, as we discussed in previous posts, a wonderful place to test new military developments that would be used later in WW2. Because of this, both sides ended up with tons of both old surplus weapons and newer models. For example, the Republic received a bunch of old black powder guns but also modern tanks and planes from the USSR.

Thus, we had to find out a way to depict such variety with the limits of the class system and the balance itself. We ended up doing something similar to what NWI did in Insurgency Sandstorm, where the Insurgent faction has both new and old guns to choose (AKM - Alpha AK). In Broken Country, you'll be able to choose between older bolt action rifles such as the standard Spanish Mauser m1893 and newer models such as the Czech vz24.

The difference between these will be a combination of realism and game balance. In the case of older rifles, they will be either free or very cheap to get, while being less accurate (in real life, the rifling on the barrel gets damaged after years of use, which makes those guns less accurate). In the case of newer rifles, they will cost a few more points, but as a trade-off, they will have a higher accuracy.


Speaking of rifles, let's dive deeper into some of our new models.


Coming as foreign aid, here's two of our newer rifles:

Mauser VZ24

Coming straight from Czechoslovakia, this is one of the most-well-made Mauser rifles ever created.

Many of them were sent to Spain, being used in great numbers by both sides. They can be either seen in the hands of Republican Gudaris defending the Iron Belt in the Basque Country or in the hands of Nationalist troops fighting in the cold streets of Teruel. Just as the zb26 light machinegun, they were seen as very high quality weapons and thus, they were greatly-valued in both armies. Here I have to quote the statement of a young republican soldier before crossing the Ebro in summer 1938: "We were given new weapons, not those older rifles that often exploded in our face due to the faulty ammo and extense use. These new czech rifles were well oiled and shone just like treasures, they were so accurate that we could take down fascists from distances that our eyes could barely reach...". VZ24 rifles were so effective in fact that after the war, a copy of it, the m1943 Mauser Coruña, was adopted by Francoist Spain.


Enfield Pattern 14

This veteran of the Great War also saw a huge use in the Spanish Civil War.

P14 rifles were sent to Spain from Britain and Poland in the early stages of the war among with Lewis machineguns. They had a decissive importance in the Defense of Madrid, since the city suffered a huge lack of firearms to fight back the advancing Rebel Army of Africa. Then, a bunch of these rifles came just in time and helped arming these new republican militias and the newly-arrived International Brigades that would defend the city from the Nationalist siege. Even though they were quite old rifles, being surplus from WW1, they were proved to be still very reliable and appreciated by Republican soldiers.

*NOTE: sniper variants won't be implemented in BC.


Now let's get into Grenades.


In Broken Country, just like in vanilla Day of Infamy, Screaming Steel, and so on, you will have both Offensive and Defensive Grenades.

But what's the difference between these two?

Offensive Grenades are meant to produce less shrapnel, while having a big explosion, like the german Stielhandgranate. Sometimes they would also be impact grenades, like our Lafitte, a cheap grenade used in huge numbers by both sides through the war.

Lafitte

Meanwhile, Defensive Grenades are the most popular ones, being the ones often depicted in most media, like the british Mills bomb. These produce more shrapnel, which makes them very effective in certain enviroments such as in CQB firefights. One of the most common Defensive Grenades in Spain was the M36 Universal, a simple yet deadly frag grenade.

Now let me introduce you into something very special.


MIRAVET

This is a map that we have been planning to do since last year but it requires a lot of skill to make due to his complex terrain and lack of sources. We are proud to finally say that we have a new mapper which is doing his best in replicating this real town in DoI.

The town of Miravet is located on the banks of the Ebro river, in the Tarragona province. It was turned into an actual battlefield on the first days of the Ebro Offensive in the Summer of 1938, when Republican Soldiers crossed the river and surprised the Nationalist Defenders, who had to fall back and resist in the old medieval castle at the peak of the town against waves of republican shock troopers and artillery.

After hours of fierce resistance, they had to surrender due to the lack of ammo, water and their high number of casualties.

You will be able to reenact such events in Broken Country, fighting from street-to-street, in the old church from the reinassanse and in the templar castle.

Will you be able to defend the town as a nationalist soldier or you will conquest it in the name of the Republic?

But why do all these "realistic" games allow aiming with a machine-gun while standing?! There would be a lot of ways to implement like a very unsteady aiming while standing or something similar so that gunners always have to put the mg on some surface to aim properly. That would turn the game experience much more slow-paced and realistic than this odd multiplayer running and gunning around playstyle that is like in every war ego shooter so far.

well this game solves that problem you cannot aim with a machine gun unless you use the bipod on a window or prone you can still shoot it without but the spray will go all over the place and you have a very little chance of hitting something

Light machine guns can be aimed whilst standing (bren, bar, mg34), heavy weapons (mg42, vicker's) need to be deployed to enable aiming down the sights.
