• Welcome to the Vanguard Community

    These forums date back to the game's origins as the Crysis mod Traction Wars. Over the years the game and internet habits have evolved and discord.gg/vanguardww2 is now the principle home of the community.

    The team continue to read and reply to posts here, but we can be contacted more quickly on Discord.

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    @Gimpymoo, when I say RO2 is like Battleifield, I mean in how much teamwork there is. Everyone just solo plays in those games, no coordination, nobody uses mics. That's what I want to avoid in Vanguard. I don't want "milsim" like Arma but I sure as hell want everyone to use a mic all the time...

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    Just reading these posts makes me slightly disappointed. I wish the community was coming from games like PR, Squad, etc, rather than RO2, DOI, etc. We need people who will use mics all the time, listen to squad leaders, play as an actual team. RO2 and DOI are basically Battlefield and CoD with...

    Canadian troops enter Caen, July 1944.

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    Ok, thanks for the answer. However telling us there is less time between the action does not really give any information on the speed of the firefights themselves. Could I assume that the actual combat is about the same speed as the games like Squad and PR (with things like realistically long...

    What changed from TW to Vanguard?

    So, here we are. Traction Wars Vanguard Normandy 1944. It's one heck of a shift for both the devs and the community. First of all I gotta say congrats to the devs for the progress you've made and the fact that you're on the right track towards a release. Now I would like to ask a little more...

    Non-conquest type gamemodes

    We know that TW will feature a gamemode that is essentially Battlefield style conquest with flags and tickets, but it would be awesome to have a few more modes as well. Here are some suggestions of mine: 1. I would love to see a "sector push/territories/operations" gamemode that forces you to...

    Dunkirk Movie Review [SPOILERS]

    I could not disagree more. I thought it was incredibly boring and lame. You can build tension in ways far better than just droning strings on and on, and do action cues better than just 16th notes on the same pitch for minutes on end. Sure, the constant rising idea was neat, but it could have...

    Medic System

    So a bunch of us on discord were discussing medic systems and I wrote up a short document on how it could work. I think it's a good compromise between fun gameplay and realism. It should encourage medics to revive and should also not be frustrating for the medics or the player waiting to be...

    Recognise this gun?

    I saw this in the new Star Wars Battlefront footage. (Trailer here, lots more gameplay on YT.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q51LZ2HpbE Recognise it at all?

    HAHAHAHA Aniallator A beautiful hint. Here's one: This song may not rock, but it sure rolls.

    Post some of your favorite songs here!

    New game: give a hint about the song, then post the song in a spoiler tag. Spoiler tags are done like this (but without the spaces inside the brackets, those are just to show the syntax without it actually making a spoiler tag):

    Post some of your favorite songs here!

    Aniallator FlyingR You guys like soundtracks? Let me introduce you to... THE 1960s BRITISH WAR MOVIES! Some of the greatest soundtracks ever. Some of my favourites: Where Eagles Dare - A marvellous score - worth a listen all the way through the whole soundtrack. Battle of Britain - one of...

    Most anticipated game

    As of right now I like RO2 more. The UI is very cluttered in RS2 and the gameplay doesn't feel as smooth. RS2 needs a bit of work before it's really good.

    Most anticipated game

    Star Citizen I have backed a while ago, when it was still a space sim. Sadly the actual spaceflight and dogfighting has gotten worse and worse with each patch. At least the rest of the game looks awesome. However I'm putting it on hold for now, and I don't have great hopes for the improvement...
