What don't you understand about...
- crap load times---Big Whoop, 3 minutes of your life gone.
- shocking framerates----Mine are low to good, but not shocking.
- CTD and CTHL (terms that almost TM'd by CRS)----Don't have em.
- more than half the promised features missing----Didn't expect them in the inital release.

It is perception, bud, those are the deal breakers for you, and I agree with your decsion. They are just not applicable or deal breakers for me.

I think we have entered the realm of circularity at this point, and we will just have to agree to disagree. No worries, guys, your loss.

Cya in the War!

Also

:

-There are people who actually enjoy WWIIOL and are willing to look past it's obvious flaws.
-I don't belive that anyone here ever denied that there's issues with WWIIOL.

I don't why this would tick you off. I can understand if you are disappointed, but I don't understand why some of you are so unwilling to aknowledge the good aspects (yes the game has those too).

I hear what you are saying, "the game is buggy", " doesn't work on my computer", "gfx sux" etc etc. Ok, so what? It's not like you're forced to play the game.

If you like it, fine, if you hate it, don't lose any sleep over it.

I can't see that pointing out the fact the there are enjoyable sides to a game would be wrong in any way, as long as you don't try to deny it's flaws...?

I actually cranked up the resolution to 11**x960 at 32 bit (I don't remember the exact figure) and the frame rate was a little more consistent. But the buildings still flickered annoyingly - to the extent I no longer fly because the image makes me feel ill.

The gameplay is, frankly, nothing to write home about. The worlds are not persistent, there is no 'reward' for completing missions or killing the enemy and the same battles are fought over and over and over again.

The funniest suggestion I heard recently was to start creating historical scenarios in WW2OL. Kind of defeats the whole concept of the game, surely?

At the moment the game is absolutely ordinary. When the forums are more entertaining than the game, something isn't quite right.

But from what I played of it, occasionally you would get a glimpse of what it might have been (or hopefully what it could be).

Guys, I am not trying to bash WWII Online, but I just saw some really funny bug screenshots on the WW2OL forums. I have nothing against WWIIOL, I just find these extremely funny, just as I've laughed at bugs in AH.

A German Soldier sticking out the back of an Opel.

Allied truck pulling an Axis gun.

Flying infantry.

LOL! Infantry being towed by a half-track.

I didn't make this!

I do not discuss AH because I don't play it, you should do the same.

Vulcan is a waste of time...when not here is out "shaggin" sheep!

Oh BTW Gadfly I'm not in your camp either...I just like to call Vulcan a "pointed ear Sheep shagger" and haven't done so in quite some time. Obviously he has been swating flies and other bugs in WW2OL

actually Gadfly,why do you bother at all,,,,,,,,,,,,IM NOT CONVINCED,,SHEEP OR
NO SHEEP;OR GOATS,DUCKS,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Gadfly · « **Reply #72 on:** August 02, 2001, 05:59:00 PM »

Why do I bother? Good question, and the only reason I can give is that I hate to see lies spread, and the worst lies are ones that contain some truth.

If someone says "WW2OL sucks a donkey dick", or "WWIIOL is unplayable for me", you won't see me try to convince them otherwise.

If someone says "WW2OL is unplayable", well, That may be true FOR THEM, but for thousands of others it is a lie.

See the distinction?

Here is an odd development... I've found that some servers work better than others in the fps department. I can play manageable fps on Server #2, but not elsewhere. I still CTHL quite frequently, but when I can play it is somewhat fun.

Creamo · « **Reply #74 on:** August 03, 2001, 06:22:00 AM »

What is this CTHL everyone refers to?

After 1.2, I got in and although i never found a NME to shoot at, my FPS were way up to 40 sometimes, maybe cause I couldn't find a fight. So I drove my tank like I was in NASCAR 4 till i flipped it over, then when I hit escape, everything looked like a white snowscape, ironically equally as "frozen" in lock up, and I had to reboot. 2 more times just like that made me quit, but havn't played it since.

How do you find someone to shoot at there?
