can we do a sticky for good ingame screen shots ?

aeric67 · January 2005

Is this game n00b friendly? The screenshots say a lot of impressive things about this game. Is the game worth getting into this late?

Sres · January 2005

Yes & No

The one thing that lets this game down is it learning curve. You could spend your full months free play getting to grips with just the rifle and situational awareness.

If you do try it, here's how you use the radio

When you load the game (via your choice of side, allied/axis) you will appear in a window with a map on the right and some buttons on the left.

Your radio is at the bottom of the screen.

Press Enter (Return) to bring up the 'Say' portion of the radio (where you type).

Using the mouse click in the blank slot next to the #4 bottom left of the radio element and type 99.

99 is the help channel, if players are monitoring this channel they will help you the best they can if you ask questions. Also announce your a new player.

To chat on the channel you can press F4 or press enter and type .4 <message>

If you are struggling to get the radio to work, you should already have been placed into the 'Blitz Lobby', you can talk on this by pressing F1, or .1 <message> and (for the allies anyway) we have Duty Officers (DO's) who will assist you in getting to Ch99, or even take you out onto the battlefield to give you some advice.

At 10$ for the game and 14.99$ a month (+ 1 free month play) you can't really argue, especially if you live outside the US, it's still one of the cheapest mmogs on the market and the only really true PVP game out there.

GL and .m sres <message> if you start allied, love to hear from new players

Yeah Beatbox, we've already all heard how you misused someone elses account over the weekend. He's been apologizing profusely ever since because you broke the trust he placed in you. Typical for your kind though, I guess. We also all heard how you incessently Spamed the Chat interface to the point everyone had to Squelch you out because of your language and uninformed complaints. Yeah, you're someone whose opinion I'd listen to. lol

Sres · January 2005

Ah this was the gimp that ruined someones status on the axis side.

Nice work beatbox. Time to crawl back into the hole you came from.

I like the fact that you mention the word "mature" beatbox. You were banned once, possibly twice. A friend let you borrow an account, so you could try out the game. But trying the game wasent enough for you aparently. You needed to mouth of at everyone else ingame for hours on end. Not just spamming the chat, but being down-right abusive.
People at all the towns you were at, were asking GM's to shut you up.

I don't think wwiiol needs a guy like you. Your "maturity-level"- or lack of said trait, is simply not applicable to this game.

spizz · January 2005

These screenshot are great, but it doesnt explain how bad the high commands are, how undisciplined the people are and how bad the community is. Ive tried the game recently for 3 days and ive had enough, people are clueless about sit reports, HC people telling you to 'go back to allied/axis side' for stating situation reports.
You still cant bail in/out , no artillery, no ordnance server, no foxholes, no pillboxes, no camo nets, no bipods/tripods, no loadouts, no visible supply. The game has a long way to go before i pay for it again. Also the fact that you need a top notch computer to get 25fps in a battle is leaving me a bitter taste of this game. When brigade spawning comes in i might return to find a mature unit that doesnt tell you to switch to the other side when stating battlefield reports.
The HC guys are so clueless they think everyone is on TS the chat coms are ignored and half the players have no clue whats going on and get killed. You get no reward for wiping entire armor columns , killing a lone rifleman gives you the same credit as killing a Matilka MKII or a Crusader III , ridiculous scoring system.
Also the majority of players ingame are all colonels and brigadier generals , hopefully this fantasy war game will be fixed by removing the tables you have to bump for 2 minutes to get replaced by a territorial system. The core of this game is extremely old , yet they are planning new theatres with all this stuff that's not implemented.

beatbox enough is enough, your just poor one who only can flame in this forum and against this game, even telling lies about it.
i give a shit what are u writing cause with your comment you only want to provoke the people who play this game. when u dont like the game stay out of the forum, stop your madness.
i know which games are you playing and i tell you that i even never would play them if they are free , so you see opionions are different. you recommanded games in the general forum which i tried and they are pure garbage in comparison to this game in "my" opinion, but im not so poor like you to flame in other game forums. get a lolly from your mum with some blue light.
and thx btw to destroy my only picture thread you are really a moron.

btw i heard from people that you was banned due to cheating from ww2online page which you announced get over it - its over - game over for you my friend.

Cobra1107 · January 2005

nice screenshots, i've seen em all on wwiiol.com forums though.

And beatbox

I don't know how much water something like that would hold coming from you, considering you're a known griefer. There's a thread on the forums right now dedicated to how much you've whined and annoyed people in the past 3 days.

You raise some good points in your post, but you clearly have some personal vendetta against the game.

the only SHOCK is that u dont understand. .. jeez ::::07:: ::::12::

No, the real problem why you weren't being answered was because EVERYONE SQUELCHED YOU. No one is interested in playing with a whiner who doesn't have the first clue how to get along with others. So go ahead and try to change the facts. I'm sure the gent who loaned you his account will be here soon to clear the air on what actually happened.

rexxor · January 2005

HAH... People put you on ignore because you were ABUSIVE and whining like a little girl ingame.
You talk about discipline like as if you are a perfect example of just that.
I was there... my squad was there.. You were being abusive for no reason.

If you think crying your little heart out in a text channel constitutes discipline, and then blaming others for your own damn mistakes getting you killed... then you are indeed not suited to play this game.

WWIIO is the only FPS where people don't scream "OMGOMGOMG H4XX0R5!!" and "OMG WTF! I HIT HIM 50 TIMES!!!". I don't know what you are talking about.

Beatbox is not being truthful about the community. The HCs listen to the players that act like humans when they interact with them. The playerbase is generaly well behaved and will try to help you if your new and dont know whats going on. Id like to point out that the player run Axis TS server was hacked into and someone ran the bandwidth charges up to around 1300 bucks (US) and the problem was posted on the forums. The bill was paid with change to spare within 48 hours. Within the first hour or so there was over 300 dollars sent via paypal. The community is bad eh?

You still cant bail in/out , no artillery, no ordnance server, no foxholes, no pillboxes, no camo nets, no bipods/tripods, no loadouts, no visible supply. The game has a long way to go before i pay for it again. Also the fact that you need a top notch computer to get 25fps in a battle is leaving me a bitter taste of this game. When brigade spawning comes in i might return to find a mature unit that doesnt tell you to switch to the other side when stating battlefield reports.

What do you expect from a TINY dev company? Arty, the ordserver, loadouts and visible supply have already been stated to be on the plate and will come by the time North Africa is released in Q1 06, but possibly by Q3 05. Id like to point out that there are bipods. As for the computer requirements they are steep, but im getting 40 FPS with a radion 9k and dont think they are that bad. Youll need a good computer for many other new games out there, and this one aint a shoe box. And beatbox, based on the stories Ive heard from the guys your specificly talking about you were the one that was the problem (and I trust them more than you).

The HC guys are so clueless they think everyone is on TS the chat coms are ignored and half the players have no clue whats going on and get killed. You get no reward for wiping entire armor columns , killing a lone rifleman gives you the same credit as killing a Matilka MKII or a Crusader III , ridiculous scoring system.

As far as the HC using text coms is mandatory. The language barrier on voice coms is too high and if I want to talk to some of the other guys in my unit (16 ID) I have to type because they only read/write english. As for the scoring system, what do you want a medal? The whole point of this game is about teamwork and accomplishing a goal. Yes, getting kills is nice and thats why CSR (combat stats and records) is around, for bragging rights.

Also the majority of players ingame are all colonels and brigadier generals , hopefully this fantasy war game will be fixed by removing the tables you have to bump for 2 minutes to get replaced by a territorial system. The core of this game is extremely old , yet they are planning new theatres with all this stuff that's not implemented.

Rank system is in the works. Should be in game by Q2 05 iirc.

Muhler · January 2005

HCS do NOT listen to players at all. I'd like to point out that your vaguing over the subject and trying to cover up the fact that an axis HC member told me to go back to the allied side for typing a sit rep he probably didnt enjoy.

I beg to differ, and Ill get into specifics since you dont like "vaguing." Im in the 16th Infantry Division (German). The command staff as well as the KG (Kampfgruppe) officers initiate contact with the lone wolf squads in our area of the map (the "dirty south") on many occasions. The Battle for Revin two nights ago is a perfect example. It was initiated by my division but we noticed another lone wolf unit operating in the town just north so we invited them to come along. On other instances we have followed a non-affiliated unit into battle, Spincourt last map being an example. If an OKW member told you to go back to playing allied Id like his name because he is in violation of the CoC and will be removed from his command.

The community is bad to the point they made the forums subscription only , this gives a good clue how bad the community can be. They can be the richest guy on earth , that doesnt mean they are smart.
Your expectations for 2005-2006 are quite high, i doubt they can pack all that in 2 years, more like 4.
There are NO bipods except if your lying prone wich is ridiculous, cant even mount bipods on windows.
Killing entire armored columns by yourself deserves MUCH more than medals. CSR is bugged most of the time and unreliable. It's also going up and down like a hooker on a friday night.

Ok, I was using their generosity to prove that they were not bad people but you want more. Fine. When I was a noob I was taken under the wing of many players. They helped me and showed me how to play. There were times that we went and spawned at a rear area and showed me how to move, practiced and the like. Back in the old days those guys were LST808 (driving), Whilhelm (infantry), Elkaboom (also infantry), CSM308 (communication effenciency), Soldat10 (armor), Bombboy (towed guns) and Stevee
(aircraft). There werent assigned classes they took it upon themselves to show me how to play the game. If your looking for smart I hate to break it to ya but your never going to find a whole bunch of it in a game, however this has the highest percentage of older, more mature, more effective gamers on the planet and Id put them up man for man against any other gamer out there, period. They are good in the game, and somehow I doubt you measure up judging by the verocity of your attacks upon the game. Ive seen WWIIOLers go into other games, COD and AA to name two, and backhand the other team in a squad v squad game.

I dont know why they made the community private but if they wanted to sugar coat it by making all the players look very happy wouldnt they just mod it to death? This is the most together online community Ive ever seen. They argue alot, sure, but its because of their love of the game. You have never been a part of the community and thus I dont expect you to know that.

And you dont like medals, you dont like csr what do you want? Super uber powerups for your tank? They are trying to keep some sembelance of realism here. Your wanting something the game isnt about.

I havent read anything about a new ranking system in the work, all the fanboys will cry out if they all go back to private.

Its been in the works for a while now but they have been waiting till Deployment. You wont go back to private. The plan is that they insert ranks around yours. If your an E-4 now your still going to be an E-4, but there will be more ranks above and below you. They left alot of ranks out of the game in the initial release (like 3 different grades of Sgt, 2 of Lt ect...) and are going to insert them. Nobody will lose spawning ability, which is all rank matters for anyway.

And all the HC guys will cry to keep theyre rank they dont really deserve at all.

Teh? I EARNED my two stars thank you very much.

I also love this game,

Wow, couldnt have told that so far.

but not for too long, players tend to be undisciplined , HC's do not listen to you except if your in HCS,

Ah, here we go again. This has already been discussed earlier.

there are serious issues with brigade spawning and AO's that wont get resolved too soon.

Within 6 months we will see the resolution.

There's still no personnal spawn limits, no fear of death.

I agree, they arent there.

Eventually theres no other games that come close to the ballistics of wwiiol,

Add to that damage model. Its still lacking but better than any other game out there, bar none.

but that doesnt make up for the people that are playing in a very selfish way , the players are more concerned about theyre own self then others.

Your not playing the same game I am. Ive seen players sacrifice themselves infront of a ET to save a teammate who was critical to the mission.

You will rarely get support and backup when needed, except if your capping a facility with 30 infantry covering you.

See above

Mobile spawning feels great , but in another hand i think it's very, very bad. Instant armys spawning from a truck just doesnt feel right. It helps instant action but the game is turning into an arcade style system where you spawn right in the core of the battle wich doesnt feel right to me, although i felt important deploying MS near vital choke points, i feel there should be many restrictions on units being spawned.

This is being hotly debated. There are arguments to support you (that I wont get into because you already have). There are, however, also arguments against. For example, it simulates the deployment of multiple units (platoons ect) at a particular location (a flank of a town) that the number of players can never simulate unless we all get cray supercomputers.

You, sir, have very little room to comment on either the playerbase or sense of community of WWIIOL. You have been despised by all who have had the displeasure to meet you in the forums or in game and as such never been a member of the community. True, you were a paying customer but just like in many social organizations you can be a "member" but not belong to the community.

Currently the thread about your exploits as Kahnute is intitled "Axis players in halle today. i've been beatboxed." and is 3 pages long, most of them laughing about what a pitiful jerk you are to not see that you were the problem. If anyone would like I can copy and pase the posts and email them to you if you dont have access. PM me your email addy and its done if you dont believe me.

Honestly, Beatbox, I expected more from you. I never thought you to be a flamer.

When he says that there are no Bipod except for prone, does he expect people to use the bipods while standing?

Muhler · January 2005

It's okay muhler you dont have to copy paste the sticky posts, we dont really care what's going on in there, and i dont really care about people talking in my back since that's all they can do.

Wow, you went from you ranting on how bad a community we were to one you dont really care about. Which is it? If you dont care then why rant? If you do think we are that bad how come there is no real negative thread on the first page?

Muhler · January 2005

I'm not a carebear or a fanboy, i'll let the guy live in his misery. Besides, most of HCs have abused theyre functions one day or another on both sides, i'm just not backstabbing people sending screenshots , my time is much more precious than that.

Ok, so your time isnt more precious than to come here complaining about it for hours, but it is more precious than to respond to me in an email or pm for 30 seconds. Ok, cleared that right up.

The 3 pages are probably the 50 guys that were trying to breach the town while armor was watching them die, and they felt so bad when i stated on text chat. You know a guy even came to my teamspeak server to tell me how RIGHT i am because i am NOT on the axis TS channel.

Except that those people are about half split between axis and allied players. Not really commenting on what you said there but your actions in the past.

Problem is that stating that on text looks like allied propaganda because
'Infantry is dying trying to breach the town, why isnt armor moving in'
and
'I dont think anyone breached the town yet, theres 2 snipers in each window'
is perceived as Allied propaganda /whine /rant instead of a situation report. I was litteraly running in circles around the town at some point, we had armor everywhere at 500m surrounding the whole town, took at least 50 smgs and 100 rifles to make the tankers realise they had to move in, probably someone on voice coms got tired and told them to move in. And the armor moved in and the city was taken but still with losses.

Your assuming whats going on and I doubt you had good situational awareness. I dont know what was going on (I was in the south) but odds are there were ATGs, that you didnt see, that the infantry were trying to take out. Thats usually why the armor dosent roll into a town when there is friendly infantry about.

The main problem is the Khanute guy and his brother and everyone reading those lines are then replying with Drama queen replys like ' go back to the allied side' and the casual 'stop whining' and the eventual 'stfu' or 'everyone squelch him' And making a huge deal out of a basic situation report. It's pretty sad and pathetic in my opinion. But hey you cant please everyone, especially not the HC's .................

They arent replying to him with go back allied, they are replying to him with "why did you let beatbox use your account doof."
