    This game uses the worst, the most f***ing stupid save system ever conceived by man, THE CHECKPOINT. Horribly, horrendously placed, which makes you play almost an entire level if, God forbid, you died or exit your game to take a piss or smoke a cigarette.

Horribly, horrendously placed, which makes you play almost an entire level if, God forbid, you died or exit your game to take a piss or smoke a cigarette. We're playing on PC guys, with TENS of buttons on our keyboards, not on some antiquated piece of hardware with only TEN buttons on its controller. It's ROCKET SCIENCE to implement a HARD SAVE and QUICK SAVE system for a PC GAME? F5 / F9 rings any bells for you? Six thumbs down for this.
    It's rocket science too, to have a FOV slider in a PC game menu.
    At least, it can be modified in system.cfg file. Thanks Makemake for it.
    EDIT: FOV is vertical. Set cl_fov 55 -> 64 in system.cfg if you want horizontal FOV 85 -> 95 and less headaches.
    The so-called "stealth" implemented for nothing. Good idea but badly implemented. It takes a complete rotation of Haumea around the Sun until you killed some German soldier (looong and useless animation like stabbing in the back 3 times!) and a blink of an eye to be detected by the whole goddamn Wehrmacht for doing so. Better go Rambo-style. Be aware though for Rambo-style. You'll die quite fast on medium and with the horrid checkpoint system, you'll probably eat you keyboard bit by bit too.
    Weird graphical glitches, pink Polish resistance soldiers with black faces in the sewers. I had to restart (evidently!!!) some level to make them disappear. Another thumb down for this.
    I cannot say that graphics are THAT bad and obsolete (as I saw in some so-called "professional" reviews). This cheerful and colorful style is not at all THAT bad. Quite the contrary. Besides, it runs very well on high settings even on old computers. Some problems with V-Sync though. If OFF, horrible tearing, if ON, framerates droppings. Better OFF and enabled ON in your video card setting. One thumb up. For cheerful and colorful palette, I mean.
    No stupid wall hacks. The game is inconsistent though with marking the enemy with binoculars. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, which is kinda annoying. Either make it work OR do not implement such system. Even marked, you have to open your eyes quite well to see the enemy and that grants you (game!) another thumb up.
    Even if are a bit linear, levels are quite large with many routes to take. Another thumb up.
    You were not afraid to use swastika as the proper symbol for the era, but you replaced it with some black cross in the Nazi emblem which kinda spoils the broth. Some sniping so-called elite WW2 shooters avoided the symbol like hell, which was very bad for immersion. History is history guys and cannot be discarded or wiped out. Avoid like hell the political correctness BS, not swastika in some silly WW2-era games. Swastika was the symbol of Nazi Germany (flag, emblem, coat-of-arms, decorations) and it is the symbol of Jainism.
    Have a six from me.
    Not THAT bad.    … Expand

    I personally have enjoyed every minute of the single player side of this game and for that alone would purchase it again. I played the game with DX11 although DX9 is also available. Graphics are very good and the WWII feeling is present. The houses and streets are filled with detail. You will enjoy a good 10 hours+ of entertainment going through the levels.

You will enjoy a good 10 hours+ of entertainment going through the levels. I did play on expert/hard mode throughout the release and yes, the AI could have been a bit tougher. Overall, a fun romp thru time back in the day.

    It falls short on release with just a 12 player system based on 1 of the 12 hosting the game. But, they have released version 1.0 of a dedicated server file already and I am sure they will get it out there eventually with more features. This is a must for this title to thrive along with more Multiplayer levels to play.

    I will look forward to Enemy Front 2...
    That said, at a 24-30.00 buy in..the single player alone was with that to "me".    … Expand

    The Enemy Front is a solid game in my opinion. Evidently earlier Call of Dutyes are role models. It could not catch it with the roll model but it is a step foward from Sniper Ghost Warrior 2nd. Fast paced combat, a lot of shooting, a lot of explosions and atmoshfere of war .. it is all what i expect from WWII game. Graphics are solid on maximum, maybe some effects are that much shiny, butThe Enemy Front is a solid game in my opinion. Evidently earlier Call of Dutyes are role models.

Worst things in game are the story, terrible cut scenes and voice acting somewhat clunky map and objective tab. All in all this game is a welcome addition before I move foward to Wolfenstein.… Expand

    Nice game , everything is ok , except graphics and Ai . Game is very climatic production and have many good advantages (story , wwII game ,it's working on older pc )
    P.s Game isn't only graphic and effects . For me game should be interesting and suprising.

    Enemy Front is a WW2 shooter that resembles to Call of Duty... but fail to be a functional game with an interesting story.
    For starters the writing is just boring and terrible, the story is more generic that the ones you find in COD game.
    In the game's settings there is the option to play using DirectX 9 and 11, but... DirectX 11 is not well implemented into the game and that causes the    Enemy Front is a WW2 shooter that resembles to Call of Duty... but fail to be a functional game with an interesting story.

    In the game's settings there is the option to play using DirectX 9 and 11, but... DirectX 11 is not well implemented into the game and that causes the game to either crash or freeze. So, using the 9 version is your only option.
    This is a First person shooter that contains missions in which you can go gun's blazing and some other will require stealth... ohh boy... stealth mechanics are so broken in this game!!!!! even from miles away the enemy can still spot you and trigger alarms. Silenced weapons will require multiple shoots to kill an enemy even in close range and for a stealth section this is bad news, it's an alarm trigger. But even in regular combat weapons still feel weak.
    Visually the game looks... ok... there are levels that look good and some other not that great, specially the levels that take place in the city. And the game was built using Cryengine 3 but it doesn't look like it, character models are pretty average, gun modeling looks good.
    And the missions... boring, kill this nazi general or sabotage something.
    I really had good expectations for this game based on some images that look extremely next gen, and i really try to like this game... is not that bad, but it's mechanics and enemy awareness makes Enemy Front a not so memorable game.    … Expand

    Atmosphere everything is nice I like it but only animations are a bit lacking. Although they are not a big company, it is a brave move and the result is 6/10

    it's neither good nor bad because it gives the nostalgia of playing classic FPS games like COD 1 2003. to be from 2014 it has some really outdated graphics and horrible intelligence

    Esse jogo tem um baixo desempenho, história bem clichê, típico dos filmes dos anos 70, porém tem uma jogabilidade aceitável e quem procura jogos de guerra pode ser interessante, mesmo que abra mão de gráficos, qualidade, história e muito mais esse jogo pode sim ser um atrativo para os amantes de guerras.

    Just another superfluous WW2 game that is brought down by horrendous AI and shoddy attempts at emotional heroism. [Issue#244]

    I would situate this game somewhere between ‘acceptable’ and ‘not bad’. Developers had big ambitions and suffered a defeat, but in my eyes it’s an honorable defeat. [08/2014, p.56]

    It doesn't matter if the game explores an interesting yet unknown aspect of WWII, the Warsaw Uprising, its lack of presentation and good art direction, along with tons of bugs, overshadow some interesting design ideas and good level design. The lackluster multiplayer doesn't help much to improve the game, either.
