Tac said.. "when other companies finish their own MMPOG WW2 games"

Any links to these projects?

I intend to try WW2OL again once the new interface get implemented sometime in May or June. I have no intention of buying a box copy and then downloading 150MB of patches though. I hope that Gigex updates the version they are shipping out.

Are you on drugs? UO is the second most succussful online product ever, behind EQ.

I think he's refering to the initial release, where some of the players tried to sue the company to recoup money spent on the game (This is all just a fuzzy memory, and probably all wrong). Didn't UO's original release have some serious problems?

Dang!, AcesHigh's "Quake on Wings" doesnt have Stukas easily winning dogfights against Spitfires and Hurricanes, blowing them up with ... (takin' a deep breath) ... 2x7mm. Moreover AH doesnt have the mighty "endless loop" feature in every FM ....
I really hope that AH's "Quake On Wings" will catch-up with WW2OL's "Quake On Wings, Tracks and Boots" ...

Well Fishu I glad you like WWIIO...really.....no kidding!

I think it blows but hey who am I? I don't pay for your games so do what you want.

I think it IS funny though how you keep calling AH airquake. I mean that's all that people want in WWIIO is quake.

One of the reasons I quit was because all the quakers wanted to get rid of tanks and only have soldiers.

I discovered WWIIOL a couple of months ago thanks to the free trial. I loved it so much I ordered a box from the USA and had it shipped here to Belgium at twice the price...(btw now it's a free download

).

I enjoy both games, I'm still paying and playing AH. Some people here make very harsh (and not justified anymore) comments about WWIIOL...dunno why. Is WWIIOL perfect? No. Neither is AH. Are both games fun? Hell yes! Do they compete? Not really.

WWIIOL is hard. You die fast, most often from an unseen enemy. This can be frustrating. However, it makes you hunch on your K-board while you run thru open terrain. Immersion is at its best, action is intense.

WWIIOL FM is unrealistic? Dunno. Certainly different from AH. Still unfinished too. However, please remember you're fighting a WWIIOL 110C, or an AH one. Not a real one. Who cares if one turns much better than the other? You're still fighting another human player....the best will come out victorious...just like here.

If some of you are interested, go to the free trial. You have nothing to loose. Don't rely on the comments you can read here. Too much are deeply biased.

deSelys some of us may sound harsh but we were a part of the original screwing and some of us don't feel that the rats should be trusted OR supported.

I really wanted WWIIO to work because I enjoy tanks more than I do AC but after the way they treated us I will never buy another product from them again. EVER!

It sounds like you missed all the BS they put us through in the beginning so you really don't have an idea of how pissed some of us are or why.

AH is everything that HTC has claimed it should be.

WWII On-Line is nowhere near what Cornered Rat claimed it would be 1 year ago... to the point of even falsely advertising the game features on the box.

That is my major problem with the game.

it all comes back to the people/company supporting the product.

WB sucked
WWIIOL sucked

HTC has it's watermelon together

WWIIOL showed, if nothing else, that there would be a ton of people who would fork over some money to play a massively multiplayer air, land & sea combat sim. Someone will make another attempt at it, maybe after technology catches up with the idea somewhat.

Mickey1992 · « **Reply #26 on:** April 29, 2002, 12:43:59 PM »

Wow, I didn't know that you could download the whole product now (ver 1.55, 116 MB). You still have to get your hands on a user account though, which means that you still have to buy a box.

First statement is correct in general, second is subjective. Together they are nonsence.

What people in general want ?
They want the most dumb down that they can get. They want as easy as it gets.
You want examples ?
AOL ? Biggest ISP in US ?
McDonalds ? Need i say more ?
Fighter Ace ? Beats all other sims number wise
Look at music those days ... NSynch ? That's what people want.

You don't need to buy the box to have an account to play online .

You have to have the 12-digit key off of the CD to create an account. Where are you able to create an account without a key?
