<div class="IPBDescription">Trying to decide</div> Righto i have a decide something, to be honest i am bored with most mmorpg's becuase they involve this lvl up fight bigger mosters get a bigger spell for bigger monster (or weapon or what ever) i'm not saying all mmorpg's are but most (like os wow and eq2)
So heres my problem if any one remebers <a href='http://www.wwiionline.com/scripts/wwiionline/index.jsp' target='_blank'>ww2 online</a>

Soon it will be released in a box (v soon un us and june in europe) i want to know should i get it now ( with out box and map blah blah )
or wait and get box heres the thing ww2 is going under some changes it is going to change engine more armys will be added as well as new places like pacific africe russia,

Now incase you dont know what ww2 online is it is pretty much what is says really but the really cool thing is it wil 1/2 scale of the world it is realistic you have big planes wars

<a href='http://www.gulbert.de/ww2/overthebay.wmv' target='_blank'>Air wars vid</a>

Here what i want to know do i wait and get it with box or do i get it now? i tryed a trial a long time ago but i didnt thinck it was that great becuase it would be walk for a while and die or wait for enemy for 1 hour then 10 min of action but ww2 online has so much comming for it now
it now has paratroopers

    IIRC, it really suffered from bugs. I'd hold off until you know this one isn't the same.
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    Many of the bugs have been fixed since i last played (bout a year ago on a free trial which there currently are non of)

    Though my pc icurrently need upgrading it crashes on every game (exept eq2 <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->)

    when did you last play? was fine when i last played bit crap having to use joystick but thats proberly becuase i didnt bother asining it to any thing else and how i think the beyond blizkrieg is meant to be a bit better so it gets mroe people into game but no aiming a gun is easy look down sights and fire from waht i remeber bout a year ago
    they are trying to make it easyer but its a bit of a sim all realistic cockpits and every things inside tanks ..

    It is many thasands (no kiding) also the map there are no loading zones thats right it is one continious map 1/2 scale ther is about 7500 people on at moment but it changes depending most U.S people prolly asleep now so it will increase when they wake up hehe
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    At the moment ther are no trials (last one just ended) and there proberly wont be any mroe till the retail comes out but what you can do is go to ww2 online website (list above) and go to downloads and download the game (and patch if you want new stuff) then you can install it and go into "pratice" where you can play with every thing on a island (kind big) only thing is it will be just you in there but it will give you a chance to play it

    only trouble is my pc is being crap i need to upgrade <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    yea wasnt this the game that to fire a bolt action rifle you had to like alt-left click-right click-hold down shift-left click every time?

    and yea I would hope by now all the 10,000 bugs would be fixed.

    I was going to try this, but then I found out that the "Free Trial" isn't actually free. Not worth my time if they're going to do something like that.
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    So back to topic what should i do?

    if i get it now i still get bb (Beyond Blitzkrieg) and i also getin to try beta out
    i also get it cheaper

    if i wait i get a nice box a map to go on my wall and a manual ( all of which you get online)

    Looks cool, I've just always hated paying for a game more than once. This looks like something that I might break that trend for though..
  • PulsePulse To create, to create and escape. Join Date: 2002-08-29 Member: 1248Members, Constellation
    You have to <i>buy</i> the game to get the so called "Free trial". It's exactly the same as the trial that every single other MMO gives you when you buy it, but more misleading.
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    no that is incorrect<a href='https://secure.wwiionline.com/scripts/wwiionline/user/promo.jsps;jsessionid=D53EEA6F162836CBB87611D43582A555.2' target='_blank'>look here</a>
    if you look there you will see you can get a free trial with out buying game but becuase they are going to release game in a month they do not have any ( might be less than month) so there will not be any untill game has been released but not only do you get a free trial (liek the planetside one ) you can if you like it buy the game then get a month ffree as you said

    I played when it first came out and even with the bugs I loved the game.

    Been thinking about renewing my account b/c last I heard they implemented paratroopers and the graphics and everything look a lot better than it did before.

    I'd say buy the box version and wait b/c if you've read the forums you know they've been updating the patch and the new patch will come with the box.

    Hold out for the box and for everything to be finished.

    if you want me to post other ways (becuase you cant be arsed to look on there site) please say and i would be happy to post
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    I have decided what to do:) i shall get it online rather than pay £30 punds for a box which comes with a manual (which i s online any how) and a pin up map (which might be cool but also is online and in game) and a box (which do i really need?) i can but an activation key for £10 so for what its worth i get all the same game but i pay £20 for a box a map and a book (maybe some other stuff) so there i will get it when i gte my new pc bits (it dont work at moment) gotta be better than the repetative of the likes of eq and wow you will be fighting for the freedom of the world this is not just about you, its not even about your country it is about the freedom of the people of the world.
    To release the grip of the nazi's (ino offence) from the grip of europe and fight them back from whence they came we will fight them in the air, we will figh them on the ground, we will fight them in the sea's and oceans and we will never step back ( cough yes got carryed away)

    The monthly price is pretty high. I guess I'd have to be miserly and only subscribe during months that I have many days off (Summer months, Christmas, Spring and Fall breaks). Also whats up with it saying you need a minimum of 1 GB hard drive yet the installer is 125 MB? Their compression can't be that good...
  • BigwigBigwig Join Date: 2002-10-27 Member: 1646Members
    I've been through about 5 free trials for this game (I'm poor), and I keep coming back because it's so fun and addictive. There's currently no game out there that can simulate battles between hundreds of people at once, especially not with air, sea, infantry and armoured combat. Once you learn the mechanics of the game and land yourself into a good squad, you'll be having a blast guaranteed. It may take a little patience at times, but if you don't want to drive your tank column all the way from a back town to get to the action, there are usually tons of mobile spawn points set up to get in the combat quickly. And there is nothing more fun than jumping into a hot town with 50 other paratroopers and cleaning out all the enemy infantry and tanks.

    The next time a free trial comes out, download it. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
  • Sub_zer0Sub_zer0 Join Date: 2004-05-09 Member: 28569Members
    the installer will patch a bit ( also it does eat a bit or ram lots going on but most systmes should be okay) also price wise it is about the same if not a little cheaper than wow or eq2, but trust me when your in a huge battle planes bataling over head (if a night the flak thing going on) tanks rolling into position and gun shots in the distance you cannot beat it

    You if havn't played it before wait for a trail (normaly a few about (non at mo becuase of box release))
