Now that we have announced the Airborne DLC for Call to Arms - Gates of Hell, we will take our time - throughout a few blogs - to tell you more about the project and to fill you in on the history behind the missions it portrays. Curious? Keep reading! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2904660/Call_to_Arms__Gates_of_Hell_Airborne/ [h2]Missions[/h2] As we revealed in the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/400750/view/4334236563147460189][b]announcement[/b][/url], the DLC will contain 12 single-player missions, 5 for the 82nd and 7 for the 101st Airborne division. The maps are created using real-life battlegrounds, but perhaps that goes without saying, because in Call to Arms - Gates of Hell, that will always be the case. Missions will also be playable in co-op; each of the missions will have room for four players.

It features iconic missions well-known to a large audience because the entertainment industry has re-enacted them on several occasions. Some Hollywood productions are more historically correct than others, but for the Airborne DLC we’re absolutely not following the entertainment industry; we use the actual records.

In the end, you even find yourself far inside Germany! The campaign has more variety than ever, and as a result, it includes new voice lines for several situations, like when you meet French civilians in Normandy. We will highlight one of the campaign missions in the next blog.

The voice-over and video show the general frontline situation, like in previous campaigns. However, in the Airborne campaign, this will be different; the initial video does not provide tactical information and orders. In all of the “Airborne” missions, you will receive your tactical instructions and orders in the mission, not before. [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10379584/a0fc8e6e2a3d689cb5e650a8eedf026be2d96e10.png[/img][url={STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/10379584/a0fc8e6e2a3d689cb5e650a8eedf026be2d96e10.png]HD Link[/url] A combination of narration and video will get you up to speed with the situation “on the ground.” Secondary objectives are sometimes added as you go along because the mission situation develops constantly. For your primary task, a video will be played to hand you the next part of your assignment. Many of the objectives will be hidden; each will earn you a Steam achievement. Besides that, we added some very famous names to the roster. This is not too hard because the records are rather detailed and extensive. This way, we can also pay tribute to some of the most courageous men of World War 2, an opportunity we will not pass up!
