Features
- Experience The Great War - Courageously charge over the top and experience The Great War like never before with 150+ players in Holdfast: Frontlines. Storm trenches with grenades, counter enemy attacks with devastating machine-gun fire, rain terror with artillery shells, and organise with your squad to capture integral positions.
- On The Offensive - Featuring squad gameplay, the new Offensive game mode brings a new way to dominate the Holdfast battlefields. Fight in large-scale skirmishes and battles in an attempt to totally dominate the enemy by capturing strategic positions linearly, closely simulating the tug of war warfare from the time.
- Halt Oncoming Charges - It was the weapon that changed warfare forever. Make use of the MG-08 and Vickers machine guns to halt oncoming enemy assaults in their tracks. Suppress the enemy with relentless firepower and turn the tide of battle within seconds, these deadly weapons are not to be taken lightly and are no easy task to overcome when in the hands of a skilled soldier.
- Shell Enemy Encampments - Break the stalemate of the trenches by shelling enemy positions and providing smoke screens for allied assaults. Artillery is a key component in the war machine and will literally shape the battlefield under their intense bombardment. Featuring moveable heavy howitzers, light howitzers, and heavy mortars there will be little escape from the nightmare they bring.
- Welcoming Community - Holdfast is more than just a game, its community provides an extra experience with it through the many role-play features and proximity voice chat. It brings role-players, regiment (clan) members, casual gamers, and those who are here just for the untimely funny moments together. The great Holdfast community welcomes you. ❤️.
