I couldnt be bothered with the computing hassle......BUT, I would like to think it was worth it.

I played the same AH scenario with you a few years back, I think it was Midway or thereabouts...you were top notch with you enthusiasm and dedication and seemed to really appreciate what you were doing. I suspect you carried that with you over to WW2OL.

No doubt it was worth it.

Yes, it was Midway, and I believe we were the ones who found the 2 CV's to the SW of the island. When AH scenarios are run right, and everyone adheres to the rules, they are alot of fun.

Actually, I play both games. I play Aces High when I want to fly and WW2online when I want to ground pound. I have a cable connection and at least 60% of my GV shells either bounce or have no effect(in AH), so driving a tank is no fun. The ground war in WW2online is fantastic, there is so much to do. OTOH, their flight model really stinks. You can have some fun with it, but the allied aircraft totally dominate.

This has been my fealing for some time now, I have had a WW2 online acount ever since it was in Beta, and play it for the same reasions, the ground war, and now I finial made Lt. in the French Navy I can take out DD's:)

AH is still the best for flying though by a long shot.

LMAO...SOunds like the same old WW2OL to me.I was one of the cursed to buy it right out of the boxes they were shipped in.Half the crap on the box wasnt even in the game.I know this has been rehashed a million time but after THAT experience they could give a free year and a million bucks to play it and I would STILL tell them to kiss my keester.

The ground game still has my interest even though I had just horrible experiences with WWIIOL, mostly billing and unfinished code. Is it worth signing up now?

Classic WW2OL story.

Strange thing is that WWIIOL has been really stable in my comp from day one and I've never heard anyone having his screen turned upside down.

Fact is that game works fine but some guys playing it don't know watermelon about their computers and when something goes wrong it's easier to accuse the game than letting everyone know you don't know how to update drivers...
Those guys should really buy a X-Box.

Creamo · « **Reply #10 on:** May 31, 2004, 05:14:17 PM »

Yeah, they should put that on the box. "If it doesn't work as advertised, it's your fault for expecting it too, buy a X-Box."

WW2Online has come a long way since it first came out, their are so many new things, not just planes and tanks, and their are tones of them btw, the features are many now, and it looks a heck of a lot better than it did.

It is certainly worth the mony imo, defenatly worth a look see, espichaly if you havent tryed it a long time.

rico2, I usually play on the German side because I have built up the rank of Lt. Colonel. I would play allies if you want to hook up sometime, I do not belong to a squad now, so I can come and go as I please.

"This has been my fealing for some time now, I have had a WW2 online acount ever since it was in Beta, and play it for the same reasions, the ground war, and now I finial made Lt. in the French Navy I can take out DD's"

Now that is a blast, we loaded about 30 soldiers on a DD and headed out to launch an amphibious attack with three other DD's(as you know, the islands cant spawn tanks). Three of the DD's started unloading on the spawn areas while our DD pulled along the shoreline and dropped us off. We were running up the beach and the DD's were raining hell in front of us, that was a blast and probably the most fun I ever had in a game.

As for the questions about the game, I have heard some stories about the game not working and other issues. All I can tell you is from my experience, and I have not had any issues as far as the game working and customer service(I have not needed customer service). But let's face it, if you are looking to get the same customer service as HTC, forget it, HTC has set the bar.
