I tried it since they have gone free to play and it has the feeling it had when I first logged in may years ago game seems full of people again LOTS of targets most of them infantry (free to play rifleman and smg) Ive been seeing so many targets (and killing them) that I think they are going to have to increase the supply of them cause we are actually attriting alot of the infantry brigades. Which until free to play just dont happen much if at all ...very amazing this may give this game new life if they combine FTP with a $10-12.99 monthly sub for full access

I just hope server dont go tilt from the influx of new trials ...ive been seeing at least 10-20 green tags ( new recruits) per mission

Well good job CRS for this step in the right direction

Well, I hope for their sake they do lower the prices because as it stands this 'free-to-play' model probably won't accomplish much outside of making the current subscribers feel content in paying what they already are.

Though DOC did say he was "working on it" in regards to lowering the prices/adopting other F2P models. Hopefully it's the former and something very affordable.

I don't care how great or fun this game is.. I see very little people biting the bullet and paying $18.

I have my doubts that that will happen. They raised the price up to $18 to get people to subscribe for longer periods.

What is the $18 that you're talking about? Box fee? monthly price?

17.99 buys you a monthly sub unless you subcribe under a "cell phone" like sub plan that locks in a lower price if you show commitment

I think its a dumb ass price ...needs to get lowered to @ least the industry standard !

Lower this month sub to 10 or 12 dollars and ya have the save :)

I played this game a long time ago. It was fun but they never expanded it beyond Europe. What happened to the Pacific theatre?  There is also the issue to playing the same war over and over again but I guess you repeat things in every MMO.

No they never did get around to N africa or Pacific but the land mass (play area) that they do have is probably 20 times the size of any mmo that ive ever seen (like eve) so I dont think they need to model more land now. Some say that the play area is too big as is. What most want is for them to work on lag/bugs and new equipment.

CRS has added the americans and bazookas and alot of new planes and tanks over the years (each year brings more toys)

I really dont care about all the toys as I just really only play the rifleman (bolt action) so my concerns or wishes rest solely on lag deaths and SMOOTHER infantry movements/predictor code

 Im sure they do work on this constantly not sure if anyone can fix it perfectly  since the people that play come from all over the world and the game has to track all the movements and bullets of various heights and distances so many calculations it probably take aliens from outerspace to fix it perfectly **its the price we have to pay to have such a complex sim I suppose ..its no BF3 shoebox this game is HUGE  

so what is the F2P system limits vrs the subbed??

if you are free how limited are you at play styles?? can you only have a rifle and nothing else? or can you play as any unit/nation??

I can't imagine a game called World War II Online is any good. :\

I have not found a tougher or more pure raw PVP first person shooter out there ...no shooting someone 15 times to kill someone (like most fps) Does not matter how many years you have been playing true skills matter HERE

Kill shots are head and upper torso ...one shot.

Most of the vets that play this game will most certianly answer any missed shot of YOURS with a kill shot of their own *these PVP'er have had over 10 years of hand on battle experiance so its the home of the toughest people to kill

probably the largest collection of badasses ive seen anywhere.

Someone cleary has never seen, or playee doom before.

Seriousley, if you think it looks like doom you need to get glasses, badly, really badly.

Doom?  More like Medal of Honor on the lowest settings!  anywho...

I was surprised to see a new WW2online thread get this much activity and then I realized it was moved here from somewhere else.

But there are for sure more people playing.  Over 70 axis boots-on-the-ground at 10 on a Sunday morning.  That's like double the primetime population of not too long ago.

F2p model is rifleman or submachinegun as far as what you can spawn....and you are able to capture depots and Abs

This pretty much allows you to play the game for FREE>

But if you NEED better equipment ya need to sub ...I think rifleman (underused equipment) is one of the most powerfull units that this game has to offer

The reason I love this F2p model is cause they give you a powefull unit to play with but if you want uber stuff ya have to sub (I see nothing wrong with this)

Increase in pop of the great is great,however,how many will convert to sub?$18 a month? probably very few, don't forget it you starting becoming a sub you cant go back to the F2P model with that account. CRS know this is the last throw of the die, hence why they have "suspended" the builders program. Games have moved on a lot since the WW2OL "Golden age" era.

Yes their sub price is WAY too much !

If they changed it to 10 bucks a month combined with the free play I think the server would break just cause it could not handle the amount of players that would be trying the game
