Someone, presumably an Axis player isn't happy with CRS, they put all the Allied gear available for Axis to spawn (note the system messages):

They pulled the plug shortly after it started.

Couldn't it been some rat testing something briefly and then booting the server for new server software?

"Couldn't it been some rat testing something briefly and then booting the server for new server software?"
No. Not with a live game being used by several hundred pay-for-play subscribers.
It's bad enough we have to put up with the age old short comings of the program (64 er 18 to 24 con limit) let alone something as farsical as this. A beta server sure? A joke or accident by a Rat? No. Not unless they just fired/layed one off and he left an Easter egg behind. It'd be a plain joke. Nothing really to tickle ones funny bone with.
The mods must be working in high gear squashing any topic about it. Can't find anyone talking about it.

LOL Rats got PWND!!1!!!

SYSTEM: There are no US tanks in Baghdad. Everything is fine.
Reminds me of The Italian Job. "I am The Real Napster!"

Update on this one, sounds like the server burped and the towns that originally start Axis but had been captured by Allies turned back Axis but their spawnlists kept the Allied gear.
-
So much for the hacking.. it was a too quick conclusion ;)
-
Server burped?
Sounds like some kind of damage control spin. Like the bad "glass fiber" excuse for causing all thier problems back on WWIIO's release.....
-
I guess the server also burped all those messages, right??

Thats what I was thinking too.

I can't help but giggle just thinking about those who recently announced they were bailing on HTC to head to WW2OL. They claimed that the bugs in AH2 meant that they were beta testers here.
LMFAO
Reap it!

Edbert, what makes you think that they aren't having fun? I ran into a guy last night on WW2OL who just closed his AH account, and he's having a ball in WW2OL. FWIW, I logged on and played WW2OL for 3 hrs last night, and didn't have any problems. I had a hell of a good time.
Really, this whole pissing contest between AH and WW2OL fan bois is pretty pointless. Both are good games and have their moments where they are the best thing out there for MMP fun.
Reap it? I guess I did reap it last night. I reaped about three hours of quality gaming.

Nah, that looks like someone hacked into the server...

Where did I say they weren't having fun? If you are having fun playing WW2OL then good for you. if they are having fun playing WW2OL then good for them. I am having fun playing AH2.
I still find it humorous that people leave AH due to it being "buggy" and head to a game that by all accounts has just as many bugs (not even going to TRY and say more bugs so calm down), AND is being played on a hacked serever. Surely you see the humor in that. Or are you perhaps calling the kettle a fan bois?
I wish I had three hours on a weeknight to reap the fun like you can. I am averaging less than 25 minutes a day so far this tour.

FWIW I left AH cause it had grown stagnant and, to be fair, I changed. I changed in that I cannot stand a MA environment anymore.
One of the alternatives, the CT, had become mini-MA and when I add in that special events have been weekend events now for years I lost interest and any reason to stay subscribed. The lack of news and community updating by HTC on AH-II was the last straw so I stoppped playing. I am however waiting to check out the TOD and that is the only reason why I still read and post here.
On the other hand I am having a lot of fun with banana & crew. However you won't find a champion of WWIIO in me as I do not like CRS much at ll and there are still many serious issues with the game. First and fore most the incredibly horrible network code.
But I can tolerate that these days because the alternative was the kindergarten/sewer like atmosphere of the MA but not to forget the dive bombing Lancs, pork&auger dweebs and the incessant "horde warrior chasing the perk/reset via massive gangbang" gameplay in AH.

Well, my son just started kindergarten, so the only reason I got three hours in last night, was because his bedtime is 8:00 now. I'm starting to get *some* of my old gaming life back as my son gets older. :)
Last night was unusual for me, I normally don't get that much time during the week.
-
I blame Combat Trim and Auto-Takeoff for the influx of easy moders in AH... don't play anymore because I like joining a server and being able to know I'm going to play on a server thats fun for me. Which is why I play FB now.

Those kind of messages would fit well for a certain rat...

Westy and I play on the Allied side most of the time, although our squad does rotate to German once in a while.
Look us up sometime, SLO. Although, hopefully not in your gunsight!

lol! That looks hilarious. I can only imagine being in a matty and seeing a matty with no icon ..
I too enjoy both games .. ww2online for the ground war. I hate the flying in ww2online. AH is way better for flying.
Both games have their share of tards. The ones here are a wee bit .. err ALOT louder than over there. Killing channel 1 in the MA sounds like a good idea to me.
-
Hey Frenchy. I just may take you up on that sometime soon. I have a copy of IL2:FB on it's way to me. Is that an add-on to IL2 or a stand-alone install? I'm dying to see how it runs on my box.

BTW I totally agree with Westy, AH is a far superior platform/programmiing effort... it just lacks the right "arena". I've been patiently awaiting the AH2:TOD thing but... uhhh... I'm getting tired of waiting.
You could kind of say WW2OL survives despite CRS's efforts ;)

FB is an add on, but you are probably gonna want the newer add on, AEP. Then of course a patch or two, 2.05 is the newest version...I think.

:o
I just cancelled my WW2OL account and I'm sticking with AH2. I think it's the superior MMPOG in performance,bug squashing,action ect.
After 3 months the WW20l game just became boring.
I suggest it for anyone with patiences ,enjoys ambushing and defense. The bad out weights the good at this time. The 32 player restriction being the worst. If I was going to fly with restrictions IL2 is the obvious choice comparing flight models & game engine performance. There is so much potential if they just did it right.
I'll check it out during the next terrain. If the game is still around.
