"Post Scriptum is a WW2-themed tactical first-person shooter game focusing on historical accuracy, large-scale battles, a difficult learning curve, and an intense need for cohesion, communication, and teamwork. Experience the intense campaigns that were Operation Market Garden, Plan Jaune (Fall Gelb), or Operation Overlord, which stretched across farms, woods, villages, and city areas of the Netherlands, Mountains, and rivers of Belgium and the shores of France. Whether you're jumping out of a plane, arriving in a landing craft by sea, resupplying friendlies, or operating a tank, you will find multiple reasons to drop back into the battlefield in this grand-scaled representation of a WW2 setting never explored in a large multiplayer environment."

"Post Scriptum will cover multiple theatres in the form of chapters, with the 1st Chapter, "The Bloody Seventh," being the original setting in Operation Market Garden; it covers the 1st Airborne, 82nd and 101st Airborne, the 9th Waffen SS, and the Wehrmacht, with over 40 vehicles, nine maps. The 2nd Chapter, "Plan Jaune," covers the Invasion of France in 1940 and features the French Army as well as the Wehrmacht of 1940, dozens of new vehicles, and two new maps, with a 3rd still coming. The 3rd Chapter, "Day of Days," which will cover the Invasion of Normandy in 1944, features new factions like the German Fallschirmjägers and US 4th Infantry, each with new vehicles and a few new weapons, and with two new maps and a 3rd coming later, which adds to the already large selections of maps. Included in this new Chapter is a new game mode, "Invasion," which puts a twist on the original game mode, "Offensive."
