Heroes & Generals eliminates the formulaic baggage that weighs down the shooter genre by delivering satisfying strategic action in a full blown first-person shooter experience. Players are transported from the comfort of their browsers to authentic WWII battlefields, where they fight alongside thousands of gamers for persistent progression and military supremacy.

Each player in Heroes & Generals chooses their own destiny. You might join the Axis and climb the ranks as a foot soldier, firing off countless rounds in epic battles for crucial landmarks. Or perhaps you’ll become a general in the US army and accept the task of deploying resources and reinforcements across a vast strategic map.

Either way your decisions and actions fundamentally impact the game. Whether you play a fearless infantryman blazing the trenches, a hotshot pilot renowned for precision bombing runs, a brutal gunner assigned to a rumbling tank battalion, or the ace commander directing it all from strategic command – every active soldier contributes to an evolving online war that will soon expand to smartphones and tablets as well.

Colmar Hamlet is the all new map for the Encounter Game Mode in Heroes & Generals. Two teams of infantry soldiers battle for control of a small settlement, a hamlet, knowing that a victory will make a difference in the persistent online war.

The Colmar Hamlet-map is designed to provide new players with an easy to read layout, where they will have their first successful battles. While veteran players experience a map that challenge their skill, aim and ability to work as a team.

In addition to the new map, here is what you’ll find in the 1.10 Update ‘Colmar Hamlet’

• 42 new Helmet covers: Infantry soldiers now have the option of going to war dressed to win in matching uniforms and helmets. In total 770 infantry soldier combinations are available.
• 14 new vehicle paint jobs: New vehicle paint jobs for heavy tanks, half tracks, and trucks let soldiers prepare their vehicle for combat. 
• Five new weather settings: Completing the circle of possible weather settings in Heroes & Generals, giving a total of 12 different settings, combining time of day with weather condition.
