Beta testers coming forward at WWII Online!

[fscott]

I hope your all ready!  Over at the WWII Online site several beta testers have come forward now and are letting everyone know about the secretive closed beta that's been going on.  In a word, AWESOME, and nothing like the bad rumours we've all been hearing from the nay-sayers.  Go check out the message board.  There is one very long thread where many of the testers have been giving some insight.  Here is just a snip from one tester about the sound effects...

                                             "The sounds and sound engine are amazing... Doppler shifts, and speed of sound are all in there. You can shell a city, and the muffled explosions will reach you several seconds later. Very realistic. It's not rare to see the round that kills you fired long before you hear it.
                                             Planes zooming past, engine pitch rising and falling as they both approach and receed from you. Very impressive, and very immersive."

It's like all new games:
1. Hype
2. After released, WOW, incredible, I love this!!!
3. After 2 weeks, this sux,why can't we have.., this should be...,this is not accurate... etc etc
4. I'm leaving, GL

Anyway good luck to wwiiol.

It's interesting to read wwiiol forum during next month or so.

I'm waiting for the open beta test with paying customers to be completed before I look into it.

Also, I have *reliable* reports that the Fm as it stands "leaves something to be desired....simplistic in nature".

Might be fun for ground warfare though.

sounds like lag to me  

I've heard the hardware requirements are way up there. To be expected as it is trying to be everything to everybody...

 CC.  I've seen many beta tester come out saying WW2O is awesome. I've still heard many testers say the flying part sux and so does the program in many, many ways./

 So far the positive posts that I've read told of thier expereience of being a grunt or vehicle driver. No one but Vila or DocDoom has been enthusiastic about flying here. And that is where my interest lay.

 Kind of funny though in that if someone who is in closed beta posts something negative they are branded a troll, a liar and should not be litened to. But if they post positively there they are heralded! scophants RULE!  
 
 I wish them luck. As a FPS MMPOG it's a wrap. Not much can beat it, well unless the the graphics stay as they are.  A year ago I thought they would have had the entire online world by the balls. I'm not so naive any longer.

StSanta, there is no open beta.

fscott, where is this thread you speak of?  I am unable to find it.

There will be a free 30 day trial online for those who purchase the software.

[SeaWulfe]

50$ is hardly free Rip. ;-)

I look at it this way: You can d/l and try out AH for 2 weeks, free 8 person H2H thereafter and all the time you want to fly offline... (it's actually kind of fun to tool around sometimes)

You MUST buy and try the software for WW2Ol for whatever the going rate is (I've heard as low as 35$ and as high as 50$), if it sucks you *MIGHT* be able to return it.. depending where you purchase it from.

So I don't really look at it as free at all, but that's just me.

I think he meant a free open beta test where you could download the game without buying it first. Not gonna happen. Pay your $40, and if you down't like it take it back.

"There will be a free 30 day trial online for those who purchase the software."

I think of it more like the first month is 40-50$(?) and then 10$ for any of the following.

Thks Fscott, thats what I did mean.  

[Toad]

Well, one thing is certain.

In a short time you can find out for yourself.

My testing of the game will be free.  ok, not totally free.  It will cost me the gas money to travel about a mile to my friend's house who already reserved his copy!  He's having his wisdom teeth out today, actually he should be finished by now, so all I have to do is make him take his pain killer, and he'll be out like a light!  Free trial evening for me tomorrow!!
