'83


‘83 is a Cold-War-Gone-Hot, combined arms, first-person military shooter for high player counts (80+) currently in development at Antimatter Games.

The game pits two large platoons of players against each other in massive maps, fighting over a number of objectives that have a tangible impact on the battle as a whole when held by the victorious faction.

Players will have access to a selection of real-world infantry weapons and equipment, as well as a selection of powerful land and air vehicles which can decisively turn the tide of a battle.

FAQ

What is 83?
83 is a large scale, semi-realistic, first person shooter set in an alternative history where the Cold War conflict escalated to boots on the ground warfare between the forces of NATO and the Warsaw Pact. The game will be an online multiplayer featuring infantry and vehicles, large real-world locations, with the goal of advancing one side or the other in a larger, globalled tracked persistent warfare. All of this will take place in the backdrop of 1983, arguably the most dangerous year of the Cold War.

I'll admit that I didn't put as many hours into RS2 as I did RS. RS was all I played for a long time.

The speed increase made it feel a bit more run and gun.
 
Hmm as a massive RO series fan I'm not sure from that trailer. Could literally play like....anything. Big thing to remember that TWI seem to have nothing to do with this game so it might not be anything like RO/RS.
 
Also check out escalation 85....looks something similar with Kickstarter etc.

Top tier package grants a working BRDM to take home


The teaser trailer is dated 02/03/2017 and consists of a cut scene set indoors, showing absolutely no gameplay. While I love the idea, you have to ask yourself what's going on if in all that time they've only raised 12k$ and published a handful of in-game screenshots :confused:
