World War 3 is a multiplayer FPS developed by The Farm 51 studio from Gliwice; the team is known for such games as Deadfall Adventures, Painkiller Hell & Damnation or Get Even. Game was developed for PC platform and was created in cooperation with employees of military research and development centers and military consultants. As an interesting fact, it should be added that the gmae evolved from the project revealed in 2014, which was formerly created on behalf of OBRUM (a research and development center associated with the Polish Defense Holding). Initially, World War 3 was announced as a free-to-play game, but finally its authors decided to make it a standard, paid title; moreover, we will not experience pay-to-win solutions or lootboxes here.
Plot
The action of World War 3 takes place in an alternative version of modern reality, after the outbreak of World War III. Players take sides in the conflict (as Polish or Russian soldiers) and fight for victory on maps based on real locations such as Warsaw, Moscow, Berlin or Smolensk. The way individual armies fare on the battlefield determines the fate of the entire conflict, influencing the shape of the ever-changing front line.
Game mechanics
In World War 3, released on the PC, we observe the action from a first-person perspective (FPP). The authors give us an extensive arsenal of weapons and gadgets and a wide range of vehicles; we can not only use them on the battlefield, but also modify them in various ways, thus adapting them to individual preferences and current needs. In case of equipment we are talking about the selection of clothing and camouflage, skins, paintings and accessories for weapons and tactical equipment. A simple rule applies here - if something is possible to change in the real world, it is also possible in World War 3. The game is characterized by high realism, which includes the so-called "body awareness", the driving model and the need to coordinate with other players, as well as ballistics; thanks to cooperation with specialists, the authors managed to faithfully reflect the authentic interaction of bullets with armor, and the weight of vehicles and equipment.
Game modes
Two game modes are introduced in World War 3. The first is Warzone, in which players take part in clashes for strategic locations, which requires cooperation of both infantry and armored units, as well as combat drones. In the second one, based on the principles of battle royale Recon, players join together in small scouting units and find themselves in enemy territory, and their task is not only to survive, but also to take control over designated targets. For the wins we gain resources, which we use to conquer new territories or defend already controlled ones; the consequences of each battle are presented on an interactive strategic map.
Technical aspects
3D graphics in World War 3 on the PC platform present a high level of performance. Not only elements of equipment and vehicles taking part in battles, but also individual locations have been designed with attention to detail.
