Enlisted

Enlisted is a military first-person shooter where the player commands a squad rather than running alone. In addition to the fighter himself, there are comrades in the squad, and the outcome of the battle depends on how they are used. The battles take place based on major operations of the Second World War, and each side is armed with its own equipment. The weapons are historical, with different recoil, rate of fire and accuracy, so the machine gun here is not universal. There is equipment and engineering work, as well as artillery support. Units are upgraded, new classes and equipment are unlocked. The game is live: fights take place between people, so the situation changes quickly. Separately, it can be noted that battles are built as episodes of large operations: first the battle for a bridgehead, then the offensive, and then the defense of occupied positions. In addition to shooting, there is engineering work: construction of points, mining, installation of fortifications. Squads grow with experience: fighters gain new skills, and equipment can be selected for a specific task. The technique takes some getting used to, because operating a tank or aircraft is different from infantry combat. Progress is gradual, and in the first battles soldiers fight with almost stock weapons. Progress is made across campaigns, so the composition of the squad changes along with the front and equipment of the enemy. Engineering work allows you to gain a foothold in a occupied position, so without sappers, the offensive turns into a short dash. Commanding a squad requires attention to the situation, not just the direction of fire. For those who love historical shooters with a sense of separation at their back, the Enlisted delivers tight, noisy combat.
