Hero's WW2 Online review

[Hussein]

I've never tried WW2OL for more than the training offline.. So I can't say much about it.

All I know is that I'd never EVER play a game with such an amount of bugs that I've seen in the public.

As what goes for BF1942 the game is pretty, but way too arcadeish for my taste. Icing on the cake is the crappy net code which makes playing totally impossible. I have never seen such backstepping, warping or rubber bullets like I had in 1942 each time I tried it.

Maybe the 1942 in the game meant the year when the net code was written, who knows.

Damage model was a joke naturally being arcade, still considering the level of detail in graphics I expected something much better than explosion sprites leaving clean surfaces on ships etc.

All in all I tried BF1942 maybe 8 times online after which I deleted it from wasting space on my 80% empty harddrive.

With a complete reworking of the net code, it has potential for the arcade crowd (only). I have much much more fun with Americas Army. At least it has decent net code even though its still ridden with several bug-like features in movements.

What I am defending is ww2ol and some review that I dont believe was accurate,Curval, no one ran you off, but, the Char is a very tough machine and on one agreed with you. I remember that thread.

There are very good ppl in ww2 and some amazinhunks.

As for you machine, I dont know what to say. I have played on a p3700 a 1.3 gig amd, and now a 2100xp. I dont have the problems. The forum woulda worked with you to iron something out. May not be your machine but maybe your setup. Somthing in 1.6 range shoulda run circles in there. So, is it the sim or your machine setup?

Indignant was not something i wanted to convey.

I'm usually in the help forum and I have never seen anyone even mention AH. If they are in Off Topic I will nose around. AH is great for what it is. WW2OL is better than some think, and not as good as others think. It is going to always improve, much like they did with warbirds.


But the bottom line is when someones says, ww2 lags this, screws that, a turd, based on, June 6th, or trying to run it on a machine that is lamed,  poorly setup, playing on AOL, trying to log in thru a firewall and squeaking to no end how it is the sims fault, then that needs to be called out.


I digress. I all boils down to what you like, you support. Just cannot figure out the vitrolic post of some.


When a freebie comes up I will be post again.

At least hardcase is devoted to his cause. Most others already caved in and moved on..
