Open Beta phase 2 update and changelog


New Panther D - HD Link

Dear community members,

The next open beta phase is about to be launched. This is phase 2 of the Call to Arms - Gates of Hell project open beta.

You can still join the open beta by the way, it’s available on our Steam Store page!

As we said before, Phase 2 consists of the multiplayer (PvP and PvE) with the upgraded netcode, and we will launch conquest during the weekend too.

Aside from the new areas which now open for testing, we have done significant upgrades to the visuals, sounds and performed a huge number of improvements over the content previously available in phase 1. Such novelties include many new units and models, new uniforms for better 3rd person visuals, and tons of new features, including many of those that the community requested such as increased squad selection sizes.

We are on the final stretch finishing the new soundscape, having finished work on weapon sounds and performing a global QA pass. We are confident it offers you an authentic and immersive sound experience.

Phase 2 of the open beta contains 6 multiplayer maps (full release will contain 20) and will contain 5 conquest maps (full release will contain more than 15!).
