HnG Community are reviving the game rn. 2013 version seems to be publicly accessible rn, GerSchilli made a vid about it. 2023 version is closed playtesting.
dont worry, there is a group reviving HnG, the 2013 beta is alredy playable with servers, and the 2023 version is cooming soon tm, Buuuut i have been trying to find a game, and landed on red orchestra 2, you know rising storm 2 but WW2
I bought like all of their games in that sale (had been playing RS2V for a few years) and RO2 is just too brutal for a casual gameplay experience. RS2 can still allow me to run around waving a revolver and trying to mattock people, but not yet in RO2 (I still need to get familiar with it first before having the *H&G* fun). Anyways they are all great games.
I tried it a while back. I heard day of infamy died because the original developers sold the rights of the game to some company that hasn't updated the game in years. I just went back to my college years with "Day of Defeat Source", this game actually was the inspiration for "day of infamy." Even though DoD Source is like 20 years old, it's still a lot of fun, at least for me.
Easy red 2 has simmilar tick if someone wants combined arms and desires to burn the snail for enlisted and their eternsl wisdom And unlike HnG it concerns itself over expanding to hills which arent west front, ostfront combo
Came here to recommend it. A single player Enlisted with integrated map editor that you can play coop with up to 20 players. Easy red 2 and Planetside 2 are my HnG replacements until the real thing is back.
Easy Red 2 has been scratching my WWII itch that I lost from Enlisted with the merging of the campaign system and turned it into War Thunder Infantry Forces with the BR system that made me uninstall the game. ER2's Stalingrad rework is amazing and so much potential for other Eastern Front campaigns besides workshop support and the upcoming China campaign which will buy the DLC just like I bought the others.
Dude that is one of my favorite games ever! I still hop on once in a few months hoping to find a populated server, and of course I get disappointed every time :(
One thing about Day of Infamy before anyone buys it, There is currently a bug with the game that makes it so if you use Windows 11, the game will crash your entire pc and there is no fix that I have found.
PVE was hard in that game until i found smoke is the AI ennemy in Day of Infamy :P Anothe dead WW2 game was Fog of War , it was a bit more like HnG than day of infamy with tank and maybe plane but i dont remember well i feel most WW2 game die because nobody play them because there is not enought fun stuff to add on gun and they dont have thermal vision on vehicule xD
I pretty much think WW2 online to me has that fps+map strategy similar to HnG but its not that easy to approach and not always entertaining (telling for experience). Its a lot satisfiyng preparing big paradrops or big city attacks; coordinating all the armies, air forces and navies its kinda cool as well as hard to do, for sure better than mindlessly charging enemies or objectives.
another game that might be worth giving ago since its a older fps. would be trying out the mod forgotten hope 2 for Battlefield 2 even though its extremely old its still getting regular updates and can now be played standalone without BF2. its also not super active but most evernings at least in europe you can find decent sides games. the game tops out 50v50 on full combind arms and there is a ton of maps and content. it is clunky more so than h&g but still pretty fun and feels very authentic to what they are trying to make. its a game iv diped in and out of for about a decade now. well worth giving a try if your interested. also tried the beta revival project for H&G its extreemly broken but nostalgic will be intressting seeing what progress they can do to make it playable
I have already given up finding a replacement for Enlisted as the game failed me to convince to come back even after recent updates as I disliked the BR system and the campaign merge which made me leave the game in the first place. Easy Red 2 somewhat scratched some of that itch of WWII shooter where I could just open the game when I want to play some Stalingrad or any Eastern Front(thanks to workshop) with my PPSh. Forcing to switch game genres because of the situation in the market with the failure to find a replacement already happened to me.
I own Day of Infamy and urge everyone to NOT buy it. The game has been dead for years. It was fun when it was still active but now it's too late. There are almost no players online, this game is more dead than Red Orchestra 2.
As a Enlisted main atm. I can say that Enlisted is worth a shot to try. BUT! It doesn't replace HnG. Pretty much just a filler game. It doesn't have the same chaos as HnG did. The unpolished things about HnG is what made it fun, the generals mode, together with the unbalanced matches (like 1 team having APC's while the other doesn't) made the chaos. When HnG revival makes a full comeback, i will be on there as well
Day of Infamy is awesome! HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!! It boggles my mind that you have yet to find... SQUAD 44!!! Thank me later! 😁🪖 Literally the BEST Tank ANNNDDDD INF game play out!

Was about to comment the exact same thing 💀
he did say he procrastinated on getting the video out.
He didn't mention which year. :P

yeah a friend told me about it. I'm fairly hyped from the progress I've seen. Can't wait to play H&G again

In what month will the 2023 version be released?
@@Dinast777 I have no idea
Most probably Next year.
HA, jokes on you Lycan. The replacement for H&G IS H&G. 2025 revival project here we come babyyyyyy 🥳
It can't be replaced, truly
it was unique and it's gone now
life is pain and we have to exist with it, forever
it's our life now
thanks reto-moto
There is players making it again. 2013 edition can be dowloaded
There is a heroes and general revival project. They come so far that you can play it but not customize things yet etc
But you know that H&G is coming back right? (revival project)
Why, they want to kill it again?
They're trash at running a company, who on earth would give them money again!
most infamous when you install and only see 2 players online.
Have you seen the projekt to bring h&g back ? schilli has streamed it like twice
I completely had forgotten Day of Infamy. Thank you for making this video and reminding me the game existed! Its time to reinstall that little gem.
Lycan making sure the wounded never heals
I will always remember the days when I hunted enemy APCs in the forest with my PTRD-1941
You can't escape Enlisted forever 😈
Good to know you are still alive lmao
Hope u doing well

Darkest Hour 1944-45 mod of the OG Red Orchestra is one of the closest, you've got to check that game out it's the closest H&G replacement!
honestly hng isnt the same without tanks and planes speaking as a person who loved flying in hng
I finally reached phase 5 of the grief process. I am no longer seeking a HnG replacement, nor do I need one.
I moved on.
Mandatory Rising Storm 2 Vietnam plug. But also, how about Red Orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad?
nothing will ever fill the void..
Revival projwct
I switched to Post Scriptum that became Squad 44. It's not free to play, but a solid WW2 gaming experience.

Check out a game called "Forgotten hope 2" used to be a battlefield 2 mod but is standalone now
Nice that you bring this gem up !
Hope it gets a few more players.
would love to know if you do any war thunder gameplay with fans in the discord?
Dude that is one of my favorite games ever! I still hop on once in a few months hoping to find a populated server, and of course I get disappointed every time :(

I just put 200 hrs into Battlefield 1 :D
Come my children, we eat good here!
(17500 24hr peak players)
What about Heroes and general's 2 ??
I'm a hero and a general
PVE was hard in that game until i found smoke is the AI ennemy in Day of Infamy :P
Anothe dead WW2 game was Fog of War , it was a bit more like HnG than day of infamy with tank and maybe plane but i dont remember well
i feel most WW2 game die because nobody play them because there is not enought fun stuff to add on gun and they dont have thermal vision on vehicule xD
Delta Force seems good alternative but its modern
Someone probably mentioned this, but Hell Let Loose and Squad44 should be your most obvious picks, not enlisted
I pretty much think WW2 online to me has that fps+map strategy similar to HnG but its not that easy to approach and not always entertaining (telling for experience). Its a lot satisfiyng preparing big paradrops or big city attacks; coordinating all the armies, air forces and navies its kinda cool as well as hard to do, for sure better than mindlessly charging enemies or objectives.
hng was the best game in my entire life
best h&g replacement is hell let loose
Will you make a video about the closed beta of h&g revival? Are you part of it?
Hope you try Forgotten Hope 2. It's a mod for Battlefield 2 you can now play standalone.
funny, I switched to H&G because DOI died and cost money hence not all my friends had it...
another game that might be worth giving ago since its a older fps. would be trying out the mod forgotten hope 2 for Battlefield 2 even though its extremely old its still getting regular updates and can now be played standalone without BF2. its also not super active but most evernings at least in europe you can find decent sides games. the game tops out 50v50 on full combind arms and there is a ton of maps and content. it is clunky more so than h&g but still pretty fun and feels very authentic to what they are trying to make. its a game iv diped in and out of for about a decade now. well worth giving a try if your interested.
also tried the beta revival project for H&G its extreemly broken but nostalgic will be intressting seeing what progress they can do to make it playable

I have a ton of games that i search replacements for and its realy hard. I think its kinda impossible to be honest. Every game is unique in some way
HLL works the best its even free right now
💥💥
I own Day of Infamy and urge everyone to NOT buy it. The game has been dead for years. It was fun when it was still active but now it's too late. There are almost no players online, this game is more dead than Red Orchestra 2.
Hunt showdown, Delta force... Is an Alternative.
play beta

When HnG revival makes a full comeback, i will be on there as well
I just went to enlisted and I am at br 3 soviets and I am surely enjoying it. To be honest, I don't even really want to return to HnG.

It boggles my mind that you have yet to find... SQUAD 44!!!
