[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10379584/52c5bd51b47bda2e5afb76650ee6235cef7f22e7.jpg[/img] Community members! Today’s blog is about the things we plan to add to Call to Arms - Gates of Hell this month. We plan to update the game just before (or during) this year’s Steam Summer Sale, which starts on June 27th, and we think you will like it. The highlight will be the set of changes coming to the Conquest game mode, but there’s more. Curious? Keep reading! [h2]Conquest[/h2] Expecting this will be quite welcome, we will introduce the often requested late war squads for conquest. This is now possible thanks to a rework of the defender bot logic. Now it will only purchase late-war infantry as the campaign moves on. For the future - not for this update - we are looking at introducing a calendar system, but if we go that way at all we will let you know in future updates.

Just one of those kinds of small details for a bit of improvement, adding to the experience. We’ll do this whenever we can. [h2]Everything else[/h2] We have added symbols to the minimap that make it easier to distinguish units, such as aircraft and artillery. These will improve the ease of interpretation. We’ve also changed the way things look In-game when you set up for a match or mission. From now on, when selecting, you will see a preview of the minimap, as you can see from the images below.

Several Ostfront maps were updated following feedback from the community as well. Besides the new content, this update will also contain many updates and small fixes; the changelog is over 100 lines long! You can find the changelog [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/400750/discussions/0/4498514133983766024/?ctp=4#c4409668685901128445][b]HERE[/b][/url]. [h2]Open Beta[/h2] This update will be in open beta for one day, so you can preview all the changes for yourself. Anyone can participate in the open beta. Just as we did for the previous betas, users can give us feedback in a set of dedicated beta feedback channels on our [url=https://discord.com/invite/zyRrWbDV2F][b]Discord server.[/b][/url] To participate, you only need to switch your game to the beta version. When the beta becomes the live version, you don’t need to do anything to reverse the process. To join the beta, go to your Steam library, right-click on the game, select properties - betas - open beta. You can switch back to the current version at any time, using the same process.

We will reveal everything as soon as possible, and we’ve got our heads down to get its store page up and running. It’s almost done, stay tuned! On another note, we’d like to point out that this next DLC will only require the base game, “Ostfront”, to play. In our next blog we will explain a bit more. That’s it for our “Summer Sale Update”. Will you participate in the open beta? Let us know in the comments!
