What is Call to Battle?
What is Call to Battle?
Striving for a realistic infantry experience, Call to Battle presents detailed models and combat mechanics.
It is based around historical, asymmetrical combat across all fronts of the war. Call to Battle brings back not only the nostalgic experience of America vs. Germany, but hopes to bring countries not observed by conventional games.
Call to Battle offers intense multiplayer conflicts throughout a large variety of maps and gamemodes, with 10 different nations currently!
The Dream
The Dream
Call to Battle was worked on almost every day for the past 4+ years, in honor of Beardie's Great Grandfather and other World War II veterans. The main dream is for large-scale battles that are both immersive and can teach people more about the largest conflict in history.
Another major dream is to represent all nations - many people don't know even fought in World War II. Call to Battle offers both the major nations, but also the less commonly touched fronts and battles, including nations like Poland, Finland, Romania. Beardie hopes to eventually add every nation, if you give your support it will help that dream come to fulfillment someday!
CtB's come a long way with Beardie working nearly every day on it for the past 4+ years. But without your support, it can't continue.
There are still so many dreams for CtB, let's accomplish them together!

"Spawnkilling"
What's spawnkilling? I'm sure you know.
Traditionally spawnkilling in videogames refers to when someone camps your spawn and shoots you the moment you spawn. This type of spawnkilling is completely impossible in Call to Battle.
Features
Call to Battle strives for realistic gunplay. Each of the over 50 guns is carefully crafted to represent the original. Damage is based on the gun's caliber and calculated based on where you hit the enemy, including heart shots. Crouching, proning, melee attacks, and much more are also possible with Call to Battle!
An array of attachments also exist, if you have an applicable gun you can outfit it with bayonets, scopes, bipods, and more. Scopes work like a real one rather than zooming your whole screen in, and they even allow you to still switch and use ironsights on them.
Machine Guns can be bipoded onto a block, or placed in a strategic position. Depending on the Rocket used, a Rocket Launcher can penetrate through a wall before exploding, and flamethrowers burst up flames when they hit a block. Destruction physics and so much more in-depth features exist in Call to Battle2, find out for yourself!
Game Modes
The following are some of the current gamemodes:
