Woohoo way to miss the fact that I put WW instead of WW1 or WW2. Any mod from that era is off limits to me, because DOD stole many many days from my life.

ententes a good rts... kinda... not really... but the mg sounds awesome
Did you test D3D yet ? Is it really an "OMGNOFOGH3X!!?" ?
I also think the nades could use a small nerfing. And did they use flamethrowers in WW1 ? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
World War I sucks
World War II is where the fun's at.
/launch Call of Duty: United Offensive.

Because we've <i>never</i> played a WW2 game before.
I talked to a dev and he said using D3D was a cheat and laughingly I tested it to see....well this game REVOLVES AROUND THE EXCELLENT FOG....D3D= No fog. :|
On the other hand, i love the system with the weapons, you have to manually load the next shot after each time you fire, and there's a whole boatload of animations for weapons switches and reloading, looks like they spent a lot of work on that.
I guess it could be rather fun, but the crappy level design makes me never want to play it.

Straight up, at least we'll (US) be able to invade Canada in our GAMES.
Plain and simple.
Be sure to chew someone out if they kill you from inside the fog, too. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The gameplay is boring, repetative and slow, there's no weapon loadouts to chose from (Oh come on, who the hell would chose the grenadier with his stick?!). I can't believe i even gave it that much time of my life. The bland mapping fits the bland gameplay perfectly.
This is to DOD what Hostile Intent is to CS. Yes, i know DOD is a different war, but they're still historic war mods. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Public betas are rarely good and this is NO exception!
The mapping is good, with large amounts of vertex manipulation giving a very nice ground effect, but UGH! THE CONTRAST!
The ground is nearly pitch-black and the sky is the default HL-"desert" skybox. My eyeballs were SO seared by the contrast between the ground and sky <b>i couldn't even see a enemy unless they fired their weapon</b>. And of course i was continually looking down at the ground to avoid giving myself perminate retinal damage.
[The contrast is something like a white-stripe on a black background. Then make that white stripe glow neon-like and have the black background extend 360 degrees in all directions. UUUUGHHHH!!!!]
As well, for a WW1 mod, there are <b>ZERO</b> machine guns! A WW1 mod without machine guns is like Chocolate ice-cream without the chocolate flavour!!! <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> On top of this, there's only 3 weapons. A nade, a bayonet, and a rifle. multiply by two for the different sides for 6.
Over all:
"<b><i>BLEH!</i></b>"
/end knee-jerk review. I haven't played much of the game, and I don't know much about ww1. Ideally everyone should try this game more than I have and decide if they like it or not.

they just need to work out a few things but their weapon models/skins/animations were very impresive with all the transition animations
And grenades dont need a nerfing, this is a realistic mod. Flaming shards of steel kill, quickly.
