ATTENTION CAMPERS!

This thread is a place to see the frequently asked questions we get surrounding Classified: France ‘44. This can help you get some quick knowledge about the type of game you THINK CF44 might be, and whether you want to delve in deeper.

Does Classified: France ‘44 have multiplayer?

No. Classified: France ‘44 is a single-player turn-based tactical and strategy game that you can play offline. The only exception where you would need an internet connection is to check the community-made Missions in the Special Ops menu or to upload one you have created.

While we do have team members who are open to the idea of implementing co-op/multiplayer aspects for future projects, CF44 will remain a single-player title.

Can my units die?/Is there permadeath?

In Classified: France ‘44, the units you recruit to your squad have their own stories and personalities. The intention was to always focus on telling a story through our game, and that story would be heavily impacted if characters could die off to then only be replaced by someone else who has the same motivations, wants, needs and voice lines.

So while in Classified: France '44 you won't be creating or customizing your units like other games in the genre, we've noticed the desire from players for that and will be heavily considered for any future projects in the same vein.

Can I mod CF44?

No. We aren’t offering a modding SDK for CF44, however, you can use the in-built Mission Creator to create Special Ops missions that you can share with the community via Steam Workshop or mod.io.

How historically accurate is CF44?

Throughout development, our mantra has been “Historically authentic over historical accuracy”. That doesn’t mean we’ve thrown accuracy out the window, but rather understanding when something can’t be accurate because it impacts the fun or challenge of the game, which is the higher priority for us as game makers.

For example, in CF44 you begin by commanding a group of Jedburghs, these units however were renowned for landing after the D-Day landings, but for our story, they land before. A quite significant change, but one that has been approved by our historical consultants, historian James Holland and employees of BBC History who have said they feel we should make adjustments that can facilitate the story we’re telling and hoping to bring more exposure to.

There are certainly a lot of real-world influences, personalities and tactics we’ve been inspired by that we’ve been able to be authentic to.

Can I only play as the Allies?

Correct, the only units you will control will be the Allies, consisting of Jedburghs, Commonwealth soldiers and French Resistance.

This also applies to the missions in Special Ops and the Mission Creator.
