World War II Online

Hello!

I tryed the WWII trial yesterday and i must say i am surprised. I played for hours and i just couldent stop.The game is so much fun with all the battles going on all the time and its no hard to find a big battle.WoW was the only game so far that i have stayed in for a long time, and i have tryed many mmorpgs but never thought any other then WoW was worth staying in i just got bored after a few hours of playing them.

This have changed now since i tryed WWII online, its so different from any other mmorpgs and it is realistic. Sadly i cant start play it now right away becouse my computer is to old so i had to play the trial on my brothers comp. But as soon as i get a new computer i will get the game.

Welcome aboard!:-)  Before you get your new machine post in the ww2ol Help Forum for windows..or mac and let us look at what you entend to buy. There is a LOT of experience on those forums and we will be glad to get you the best bang for the buck on your new machine.

ok i will

Welcome to the virtual battlefield Wallano. It sounds you already have found a new love.

My best advice to you is to find a good squad to join. That will make your game experience even better.

Give me a break.

WW2 Online has a great MMO content but the engine and graphics are so outdated it absolutely spoils the entire experience. The faster you acknowledge this the better off the entire gaming community would be; not just the history buffs whom are the core players.

The reason the graphics are what they are..has been explained many times. The view distance, the number of players in view and the trakcing of every round for 3k coupled with the deep damage model.

The graphics are adequate and do not spoil the experience for me in the slightest.  More importantly there is nothing at all on the market that comes close to what you can do and experience in WW2OL and as I've seen time and again, beautiful graphics are not what makes a game great.

The gaming community should be happy to see at least one dev team doing there own thing and producing something other than yet another fantasy world derivative MMO game.

Even though it might look dated to the kids can it do more then other more shiny games really do. These games have a very limited visual distance of just a few hundred meters, and not 3000 meter like WWII Online has on the ground, and 7000 meter on the surface, and up to 8000 meter in the sky.

And at the same time several hundred players down on the ground, and low flying aircrafts that has to load all the dynamic objects on the ground plus all the whissling bullets and grenades that flys around as physical objects.

The games you thinks looks so good is very limited shoebox games with only a few players online.

• First, these games has only very narrow maps. WWII Online has the biggest map of all games. It is western Europe in scale 1:2.

• Second,  64 players is the max on these shoebox games, and most server has even limited the allowed number to 32 since 64 hurts the game. In WWII Online is there no limitations what so ever. Thousends of players on the same server, and when several hundreds of them is within the same area is this very demanding for your computer.

• Third, the sound is very limited so you only hear the players that is just near by to you. In WWII Online can do you hear gun fire several kilometers away, all player generated sounds. This is demanding on your computer as well, or why do you think you have so weak sound in the shoebox games sonny.

The three above points makes it clear that it is very poor performance of the graphically shining games if you compare them to the features of WWII Online.

Ok then.  I acknowledge YOUR ill-advised opinion.  You just need to ackownledge that the graphics DO NOT spoil the experience for many.  You made you statement as if it was fact yet the graphics in WWIIOL do not bother me what so ever.  Therefore you statment is either YOUR opinion or a blatantly false statement.  So I can acknowledge your opinion,  but will not acknowledge your statement.

If you are a graphics whore then please stay away from this game and its forums.

 If you prefer awesome gameplay and mechanics in a true MMO game rather than a game with pretty graphics and subpar to crappy play, then this game is for you.  It's really that simple.

Graphics have a polygon budge for the reasons stated above. They have improved since the release and will get even better when Unity II is release. The resolution for the map is reduce to just a few meters per unit.
