　　In a Kickstarter update, Bulkhead said the game's stretch goals, whatever they turn out to be, will help push the "authentic WW2 experience to even greater heights."

　　"So, addressing the elephant in the room… stretch goals," the developer said. "We have something awesome in the works which a lot of you have been asking for. We can't wait to show this off just yet but you'll have to wait a little while longer as we want to show you exactly what it is that we plan to implement into Battalion 1944, to push the authentic WW2 experience to even greater heights."

　　When the stretch goals are announced, we'll report back to let you know what they are.

　　Bulkhead has also released a new video marking Battalion 1944's funding milestone. With 25 days to go, there is still plenty of time for further funds to come in and give the game a bigger budget. Bulkhead already spent £100,000 ($145,000) of its own money to get the game off the ground.

　　£100,000 was the funding goal for Battalion 1944, which it met after just two days. At press time, funding stands at around £143,000 ($203,000) from close to 5,000 backers.

　　Battalion 1944 is also performing well on Steam Greenlight, Valve's platform that allows the community to vote on games to launch on Steam, where it's climbed to the No. 6 position, according to Bulkhead.

　　You can guarantee yourself a copy of the game, which is expected to launch in May 2017 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, by pledging at least £13. Head to the Kickstarter page to see all of the other pledge tiers and rewards.

　　The multiplayer shooter aims to capture the "core of classic multiplayer shooters" while using the "most advanced industry technology." You can see some early gameplay footage here or check out some images in the gallery below.

　　Battalion 1944 runs on Unreal Engine 4 and lets you fight in real-world places such as Carentan and Bastogne. Some of the weapons include the Kar98, M1 Garand, and Thompson.

　　"In short, Battalion 1944 is an infantry-based first person-shooter with an emphasis on raw skill," Bulkhead said. "No grinding, no exosuits, just you and your skill as a player."

　　World War 2 shooters were once very popular, particularly with the Call of Duty series, but Activision's juggernaut shooter series has moved forward in time of late. The last Call of Duty game set in World War 2 was 2008's Call of Duty: World at War.
