Some of you may harbor past resentments towards CRS... But remember it wasn't their fault, Strategy first made them release WAY before they were suppose to.

Strategy first forces ALL of their games to release early.. They are bad producers, but CRS is a highly skilled development team that has turned the game around dramatically in 2 years.

If you ever liked WW2 simulations, you owe it to yourself to give WW2OL another try... It has come so far that you won't even recognize it.

There is nothing sinister about WW2OL's trial offer... It's just done differently than AH's.

Intially, you pay a little less for AH and get a few more days, but in the long run WW2online is $2 less than AH.

And IMO, you get more bang for your buck with WW2OL in terms of gameplay.

It's the best incarnation of the combined arms simulation to date.

The air element alone is better modeled than AH (AH may have numerical more planes, but WW2online has a higher fidelity flight and damage model which makes it better in the long run)... Plus you get tanks, infantry, and naval units all fighting for a persistant strategic goal.

ug just tired it.

Cant map my sticks worth a darn. Im so used to the AH mapper. In WW2O you need to know the number that pertains to the button you want to map, cant just click it and it lights up. ( unless im doing something wrong).

Went into game and it locked my pc up twice. Not sure if it lagged me out or what. Im having a hell of time trying to trying this. Maybe another 30mins to setup it up and then I delete.

What a pain to get started.

WW2OL supports clicking a button and having it appear on the keymapper....

The same thing happened to me when I first installed a new joystick... Wish I remembered how to fix it, but I don't.

Check in with the community support forums and they will fix you up...

Er, 230km by 120km is not[/u] this biggest MMOG.

AH is currently up to 512 miles by 512 miles.

ZeroAce · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2003, 09:24:48 PM »

Now, I almost never crash to desktop...

But that's probably because I have all the latest drivers, windows updates, and defrag the computer often.

Also, you will need a decent system to run WW2online... Don't expect much if you haven't upgraded since AH first came out.

Hmm 12.99 per month, free 7days which would be equal to just over $3 dollars.. and 19.99 for 30 days.. if u were to pay to play for 37 days it would be around $16... Seems im getting screwed here..

WW2 online deal

-$4

AH Deal

+$7.50

I know my math isnt exact.. just rounded off the numbers.. Am i wrong though?

Sure its cheaper /mo.. but would u wanna play a game owned by a company that screwed u when u originally signed up? And if u think about it ur saving a whopping 75 cents a week playing ww2..

Please, spare me the can of soda.. Maybe if u throw in an extra quarter a week so I could put an extra buck in brenda's thong at the golden bananna (local strip club), i'd think about it..

Except you have to be a subscribed player to post on their boards.

What Mini D said.

(It irriates me that you didn't put it in the OT thread. Shows a total lack of class, coming to the AH board and posting a free ad when you gotta be a payer to post on the WW2OL boards.)

ZeroAce · « **Reply #13 on:** June 01, 2003, 10:18:48 PM »

You can let old hate for WW2OL get in your way of playing... but you aren't doing yourself any favor as a gamer by ignoring the best WW2 combined arms simulation ever built.
