Have any of you been following this one at all? Looks like it has some really cool features and is really small to boot! I will be checking it out once it is released for sure.
From Recruit Snyder:
File download size will be 6.07 MB (the official WW2 mod by DICE still is required to play).
The readme incl. the feature list is almost finished, I'm sure I left out something but players will find out about it by themselves.
