Developer Obsidian Entertainment and publisher My.com unveil new information about the upcoming update 0.13 coming to Armored Warfare on February 11. Coastal Threat is a brand-new map for PvP and brings great possibilities for all classes of vehicles that capitalize on their strategic use in the thick of battle.

Watch the Armored Warfare video here.

Throughout history, the Black Sea region has been a strategic location many parties sought to control due to its importance in trade, as well as its tactical value. In the universe of Armored Warfare, set in the late 2020’s, the relations in the region have significantly deteriorated. The entire area became a battleground for various interests, often backed by the power of one of the newly established Private Military Companies.

An otherwise peaceful town on the coastline has just seen the first glimmers of global conflict; destruction and devastation is left in the wake of armored combatants launching a siege on the area in order to take hold of its natural resources. This 1200×1200 meter map consists of several regions that offer plenty of space to flank your opponents – the southern bay area and the north offer wide arcs of fire, while the city can be used by heavier and slower vehicles to advance under cover.

Other features introduced with update 0.13:

• Originating from China, a rising new arms dealer by the name of Zhang Feng and his roster of dangerous vehicles, will soon become available for all tank Commanders.
• Changes will be made so rewards in PvE function similar to PvP in order for the systems to be equitable and beneficial.
• Updates to the matchmaking system will provide an overall better experience and more balanced matches.

Visual Camouflage System now available

Developer Obsidian Entertainment and publisher My.com are proud to present the long awaited camouflage system into Armored Warfare! Players can unlock various camouflage and paint options, which can then be mixed and matched to allow for personalized customization of your vehicle. Each vehicle can have three Camouflage/Paint configurations defined for different environment types (Woodland, Desert or Snow). The correct camouflage will automatically be selected when loading into a map based on that map’s environment type.

Check out the new Armored Warfare video here.

Tank commanders may purchase camouflage options through the customization interface in the garage for either gold or in-game credits, while paint is currently unlocked through completing various achievements for free. Once a paint color has been unlocked, it can be applied to any owned vehicle. Applying a camouflage pattern will add it on top of the newly chosen paint color. Camouflage adds a buff to the vehicle’s camouflage rating, which will help in hiding from enemies and attacking from concealment.

Publisher My.com and developer Obsidian Entertainment announce this weekend will be a stress test of Armored Warfare that will be open to all interested in checking out the upcoming mechanized combat game. They are updating the game to version 0.9 with a new PvP map, new PvE missions, and more, all of which are detailed in this update. The free period runs from September 24-25, and you can head over to the Armored Warfare website on the 23rd to download the game client. Here’s word:

Stress Testing is the final test phase before the Open Beta launch. Its aim is to provide the developers with feedback regarding the stability of the server system and its ability to handle a large amount of players. In order to obtain these results, the game needs as many players as possible playing at the same time.

Stress Testing will test the abilities and capacity of the server clusters, pushing them to their limits in order to accomplish the goals of the test round. Under these circumstances, players should expect the following issues: server queues, occasional latency spikes, and reduced server stability.

In addition, purchasing gold will not be possible during the Stress Test phase. Progress will however carry over from the Early Access phase for players who previously participated in the Early Access test.

Classic sim to be updated monthly based on player feedback

iEntertainment Network Inc. is proud to announce that M4 Tank Brigade Classic is now available on Steam Early Access.

M4 Tank Brigade, a World War II tank simulation for Windows PCs, is the only game on Steam to focus exclusively on commanding multiple WWII armored vehicles in real time, with combat that takes place on 3D battlefields spread over hundreds of square miles. Tank commanders control their own platoon (four tanks) and up to a full battlegroup of 20 armored vehicles – coordinating both air and artillery support. In a split second, players can jump into any vehicle in their command net to turn the tide of battle!

The M4 Tank Brigade Steam package includes thousands of single-player missions and free massively multiplayer online (MMO) combat for up to 300 tankers in the same battle. Both single-player and multiplayer modes will be updated on a monthly basis with new features and functions based on player feedback and suggestions from the M4 Tank Brigade Steam Community.

In order to include the updated version improvements in the same package as the classic game, IENT is leveraging Steam Early Access so that M4 Tank Brigade can be continuously updated. The Steam package includes the popular, finished “classic” version that has been played online and offline for years. The first new features for M4 Tank Brigade are expected in September 2015.

This trailer shows off the M109A6 Paladin self-propelled gun that Obsidian is bringing to Armored Warfare, their multiplayer tank game. The clip includes real-life video along with gameplay footage to show why you might want the Paladin on your side. Here’s word:

“The Paladin is part of the M109 self-propelled gun series originally used by the American military during the Vietnam War and has proven so useful that its modernized form remains in service to this day. In Armored Warfare the Paladin has faster movement and higher rates of fire than most artillery vehicles, but its fire power is less than that of other artillery vehicles in its same tier. Vulnerable to counter-artillery fire if it stays in one place too long, using the Paladin’s extra mobility to change position is often the key to success.”

Get ahead of the game by signing up for the beta now to acquire a tank commander!

My.com and Obsidian Entertainment are giving away a new commander to all players who log in to their Armored Warfare account or sign up for beta access before January 18th, 2015.

Collecting commanders is vital to success in Armored Warfare. Each has a completely unique set of skills and characteristics that can be leveled up, so having a diverse range of them will contribute hugely to the player’s chances of victory. Commanders take time to acquire, however, so this giveaway brings players the chance to get the jump on their enemies early.

This commander, Anthony Diaz, was a military career man that worked his way up from humble beginnings as a Private. Having exhausted the many possibilities the army brings, he felt the only way to find new challenges was to enter the private sector, bringing him to the modern battlefield of Armored Warfare.

To get this exclusive gift you should go to this page by January 18th, 2015.

Please find more information about commanders in Armored Warfare in this article.
