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):

SYSTEM: There are no US tanks in Bagdad. Everything is fine

I hate the game anyway

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.

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.
