Elegy Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 God damn. What an awesome game. Can't wait till the full version comes out. My apologies if someone's already made a topic about this. I skimmed the first page though and it doesn't look like it. I suppose if I'm mistaken, a mod can close or merge this thread. For anyone who has no clue what this game is, allow me to enlighten you. The setting is WWII. This game has a single player function but since the demo I downloaded was a multiplayer one I cannot comment on the single player aspect. However, the multiplayer of this is awesome. Let me start by saying that the level is huge. Very huge. A whole ring-shaped island to run around on, and off in the distance, way the hell out in the water, is a jap destroyer and a smaller escort boat you can run around on. The only way I can give you an idea of how huge this map is, is to picture Morrowind III if you've ever played it. While not quite that large scale, it's defenately comparable. In this level you choose between being an american soldier, or a japanese soldier. There are various spawn points within the map that you can choose to respawn at. If you're a japanese soldier then you choose somewhere within the two ships to spawn at. Swimming to the land would definately take a long while, but that's why this game gives you vehicles. There's assault boats that you can drive from the two ships to get to tjhe land. Jeeps and tanks are readily available on land. What's more is some of these vehicles allow multiple passengers. One guy can be the driver, while a companion hops on back to man a machine gun. But it gets even better. Not only are there land and water vehicles to drive, but you can fly the damned planes as well. There are two fighters on the japanese destroyer, and on the island are two american fighters and a bomber plane. The bomber plane allows for a second player to hop in the back to man a machine gun. Maneuvering this fighter can be a challenge at first. But you get the hang of it. You're guaranteed to have a bunch of humiliating tries at taking off and smacking into various obstacles in the process, however, when you're first starting out. Hell, I can barely land the things back on the ground but that's a rather moot point anyhow considering that I generally fly it until I get shot down or I crash anyways. Oh yes, and you can bomb the crap out of the boats and sink them, too. They respawn but it's still fun. Overall, it's a bloody good game. Makes it realistic with the combat finally. You got people fighting on the ground. People fighting in vehicles. And people taking to the skies. It's like a FPS and a flight sim all rolled into one package. This game is awesome, folks. Damned awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
