Enemy Front is an FPS developed by CI Games in 2014, utilizing Crytek's Cryengine.In one of the most original (ahem) ideas ever since Call of Duty and Medal of Honor, Enemy Front is set during World War II.Players assume the role of Robert Hawkins, an American war correspondent and journalist, caught up in the resistance against the Nazi occupation of Europe. After witnessing the war atrocities, in his attempts to uncover the truth, Robert befriends the locals and decides to take up arms and join a local partisan force.A multiplayer mode is available with several different options, including Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Demolition, featuring a variety of maps set in Europe during World War II.Enemy Front received mixed reviews upon its release, with critics praising the game's setting and historical accuracy but criticizing its AI, level design, and overall gameplay.The game is made available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

comment
Human Shield: If you sneak up on an enemy from behind you can grab them and use them as a human shield. However, said shields aren't bulletproof, and while holding a human shield generally discourages enemies from going full auto on you, they'll still take aimed potshots at you trying to hit you around the hostage. They'll also go full auto if you shoot back, and you can't reload or aim-down-sights while holding a hostage.

Home Guard: Most of the Redshirt Allied soldiers who fights alongside Robert turns out to be civilain volunteers and ordinary conscripts, untrained in warfare and sent straight to battle the Germans. Their in-game description even identifies them as "Home Army Soldier".

Experienced Protagonist: Robert Hawkins, who had completed an assignment in Spain's warzones prior to the game's events and was recently promoted by his superiors. His past makes him the perfect choice in entering the warzones of Germany-occupied Europe.

Deadly Gas: The Germans starts using Mustard gas to take down the rest of the partisans, Robert included, in the last stages. Said gas is depicted as a green fog that drains Robert's health if he's caught in it.

Noodle Incident: Robert, who is chosen for the job because of some past incident in Spain he repeatedly mentions in cutscenes. It's most likely a previous report from the tail-end of the Spanish Civil War, but it's not outright confirmed.

New Work, Recycled Graphics: C.I. Games are notorious for doing this using the engines they license, and the game has a very Crysis feel to it, from player movement (sans nanosuit superpowers), to the HUD (including an Enemy-Detecting Radar), to the enemy A.I. The game's sniper system also seems to be a simplified version of the one used in C.I. Game's Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2, which also used the Cryengine.

 Enemy Front (Video Game) / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Enemy Front is notable for featuring a depiction of Operation Gunnerside, the Norwegian heavy water plant sabotage mission, which would also be depicted later by Battlefield V. Enemy Front's depiction is truer to the historical events than Battlefield V (in that it's carried out by a trained commando unit led by the actual commando leader who carried out the raid, rather than a completely fictional teenage partisan and her mother), though it still Hollywood actionizes the raid, which in real life was carried out by pure stealth without a single casualty on either side.

Forced to Watch: The Germans performs an utter massacre of a local village, with the captured Resistance leader, Josephine Aubrac, unable to do anything about it but look upon. Nearby, the hero Robert and his contact Dubois also witnesses the carnage from behind a fence, but can't do anything either to avoid giving their position away.

The Lancer: Kozera, one of the Resistance's recently-promoted captains who shows up for most of the game and supports Robert across multiple campaigns. He gets the second most amount of development among the named characters, but he's eliminated via Mustard Gas near the end. Maybe. Someone who looks like him appears in the ending with Robert, but since he doesn't speak it's unclear.

Shoot the Hostage Taker: How Robert saves a priest during the church stage, when a Kraut sergeant holds the priest's head at gunpoint. Robert manage to shoot the Kraut (the player controls where he shoots, of course), followed by a cutscene where he pumps a bunch of extra rounds into his victim. Enemy soldiers will attempt to do this to you if you take one of them hostage; if you shoot one of them, they'll drop all pleasantries and just shoot through the hostage.

Excuse Plot: While the game does have a decent amount of cutscenes and character interactions, there's no real overarching plot, with each level being an independent vignette flashback concerning Robert's various adventures across occupied Europe, intercut with assorted unrelated missions on behalf of the Warsaw resistance in the "present" day.

How We Got Here: The game's opening FMV have Robert broadcasting live reports of what he had witnessed during the war, having joined the partisans in their fight against Nazi Germany. The following stage then flashes back to Robert's past, accepting his assignment behind the frontlines, while the levels catches up with the opening roughly after an hour of gameplay.

Optional Stealth: The game has a stealth system (seemingly cribbed directly from Crysis 2 or Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2) and enemies don't detect you instantly. However, with Regenerating Health and decent durability you can generally Rambo your way through most situations.
