About Gallipoli
[p][/p][p]Early on in the war, allied progress on the Western Front had ground to a stalemate as breaking Germany’s defenses just seemed impossible. So, what about a different approach? Defeating the Ottoman Empire and taking Constantinople would not only open up a supply route with Russia, but also a new angle to attack Germany & Austria-Hungary from. The British believed it was a plan that could work, so they assembled an expeditionary force from across the empire and attacked. However, they would quickly realise that the Ottomans weren’t as weak as anticipated and would do anything to repel the invasion. [/p][p]That’s the stage for Gallipoli! You’ll fight to control the beaches of the peninsula, defend key positions in Kut al Amara and charge across the deserts of lower Mesopotamia. The Middle Eastern Front will have you face challenges and exploit opportunities unlike those of any other theater.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://i.imgur.com/nvn1SIW.gif"][/img][/p]
Battles of Momentum
[p]Each entry in the WW1 Game Series has its own signature game mode, and Gallipoli won’t break that streak! We’re saving the detailed rundown for a dedicated blog later on, but we’ll give you something to work with for now. [/p][p]The signature game mode of Gallipoli is a 50-player battle all about momentum. If you’re on the attacking side, your aim is to complete your objectives as quickly as possible. Doing so keeps your momentum high and your allies motivated. The defenders however, will want to bunker down and hold the objectives as long as possible to waste the enemy’s momentum. Once that starts to bleed dry, the attackers are in trouble. [/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://i.imgur.com/2XvPM9e.gif"][/img][/p][p][/p][p]Throwing yourself at the main objectives may not be the best course of action for the attackers. Other opportunities will reveal themselves that can recuperate lost momentum. Battles in Gallipoli play out differently every time, and it'll be up to you to figure out the best approach![/p][p] [/p]Improvements as far as the eye can see
[p]The BlackMill Games team has expanded significantly since the development of Isonzo. Now over 30 people strong, we have room to make major improvements to all facets of the game![/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://i.imgur.com/gSUSjfv.gif"][/img][/p][p]One of the more obvious examples from the trailer are the improvements to the graphics. What you see in the trailer and screenshots is what Gallipoli currently looks like! We’re using a lot of modern tech and techniques to crank the immersion to eleven.[/p][p]
Gunplay also receives a major upgrade with Gallipoli. We’ve gone to great lengths to faithfully recreate the weaponry used on the Middle Eastern Front, which was usually quite obsolete, weird or both. In Gallipoli, you’ll truly be able to see, feel & hear all the unique characteristics of each weapon.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/40153298/691e6796d94b5da1370c28952a395c452c33015a.png"][/img][/p][p]
You can also expect major improvements to progression, loadouts, cosmetics and the health system, to name a few. However, it would be too much to share all the details at once, so we’ll leave it at that for now. Though, who knows what you may already be able to spot in the trailer?[/p][p][/p]
