About
Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront features the Eastern Front and its “Great Patriotic War” fought between the USSR and Germany. This RTS will take you from June 1941 until the end of the war in May 1945.
Call to Arms - Gates of Hell: Ostfront offers a choice of game modes including Singleplayer, dynamic campaign, PvE, PvP and co-op.
With its instantly switchable views, there’s something for every type of player. First person gunner views for all vehicles, third person views for vehicles and infantry, classic top-down direct control of a single unit or classic RTS top-down; they are all available and instantly switchable.
Conquest (dynamic campaign) mode offers singleplayer and co-op modes to play with your friends. Both modes allow you to compose your own army group, research new units and strategically advance in different paths to dominate the battlefield. The dynamic campaign can range from short to unlimited campaign lengths.
PvP/PvE offers a wide variety of maps from 1v1 to 4v4, and the use of “Doctrines”. These allow you to choose your own special units that fit your individual playstyle. The stage of the war (Early/Mid/Late) can be selected, to experience the evolution of equipment and vehicles as the conflict progressed.
Single player campaigns take place at historical locations, painstakingly recreated and immersive as hell.

good game :)
revised review, personally i love the game but in my opinion alot needs to be fixed, for example you can command bassically as many vehicles and equiment units as you want but you can hardly command 2 infantry units. on top of that the Ai is kind of janky, ill tell my tanks to move to a position to hold and ill manually set them in position and i go to bring other units to the area and my tanks just moved out of position. and one on my biggest issues with the game is that most content is locked behind a paywall. the game itself is 40$ and you can only play as germany or the ussr. not being on sale the dlcs are double almost triple the price of the game itself. those are some of my issues with the game but other than that its avery good game that will keep you playing for hours. my recommendation is to buy the game and the dlc content when its on sale.
Le meilleur !
Jestem bardzo zadowolony z tej gry. Najbardziej podoba mi się ogromna liczba modów, które można łatwo pobierać i instalować z Warsztatu Steam. Dzięki nim można grać nie tylko w realiach II wojny światowej, ale też tworzyć nowoczesne bitwy z współczesnymi pojazdami, bronią i jednostkami. Gra ma też fajną mechanikę sterowania żołnierzami i pojazdami. Można wydawać rozkazy całym oddziałom albo przejąć bezpośrednią kontrolę nad pojedynczym żołnierzem, czołgiem czy działem. Sterowanie jest dość łatwe do nauczenia, a bitwy są realistyczne i dają dużo możliwości taktycznych. Dużym plusem jest również edytor, w którym można tworzyć własne scenariusze i bitwy. Dzięki modom i edytorowi gra praktycznie się nie nudzi i zdecydowanie polecam tę grę każdemu, kto lubi gry wojenne, strategię, pojazdy wojskowe i tworzenie własnych bitew. ;-)
gut
amazing game, worth every cent. i think ive heard "achtung!!!" too many times tho
The amount of micro is insane. The interface is bad. Sometimes you have to right click sometimes left click. You never know. Also the game communicates mechanics in a terrible way. It doesn't show ranges of your weapons and when you try to attack another unit, the games doesn't communicate that the target is outside of the range. So when you try to use a mortar on a unit that is outside the range you don't know if it's outside the range or you used a wrong mouse button. It makes you loose precious time in a very chaotic battle. Overall, it was frustrating experience.
one of the best RTS games out there.
They give you all the guidance needed in the tutorials, but like real life, it's all different in real games. Troops and vehicles come at you with no pause to assess. I love it all! The split-second decision choices and working with the hand you have!
good
