Getting bored with PS. Wanna try a WWII MMOG war sim!

When version 1.13 goes live in a few weeks, WWIIOL will begin its tremendous graphical overhaul. The UNITY II engine upgrade is underway and you can see some of the amazing results below:

*Screen shot of the new trees and foliage:

Here is a snippet of what CRS has to say about v1.13:

"We will be replacing all of our trees, bushes and plant objects with highly detailed, fully 3-D rendered foliage that have leaves and branches that sway and look very realistic. This will be the first major implementation of Unity II changes that will continue over the coming months...We plan to complete our implementation by adding new grass and clutter objects, improving both the immerssivness of our game world and the amount of cover for our ground warfare. Our goal is to provide a visually stunning world that is also superior for gameplay."

It was 3 years ago when strategy first made them release it early. But CRS has added a new graphics engine and performance is top notch. Plus, the game play beats all other MMOG hands down in our opinion. Try it and see for yourself. You will be glad you did. Your girlfriend will not, as yall's "together time" will be limited now

Yes, its a very good game except for the grafics, but its all changing. WW2OL is my dads favorite game, hes had it since it came out, its come a long way.
You also have to give it the fact that the company that made it is only a group of guys that quit other good companies, made their own, and then made this game, they didnt even have the money to keep working on it so they had to release it very early.
In fact, I might go play some right now...

When noone else has posted, it's pointless to repost if yours is the last post.

This game is how much per month? I'd love to try it out... but I guess there aren't any free trials around.

Was a pretty ass game back in the day. You can upgrade the graphics all you want but the core game mechanics were very inaccessable and, my god... the bugs. The bugs held the game back like a tight seatbelt. There's not much incentive for pilots to fly safe when they can fly through the ground. Contacting other players was also FUBAR.

If they have a demo, by all means try it. But from what he's saying, they're just buffing the graphics, which change nothing because the game was terrible to begin with.
