    Another Multiplayer AAR

    Hi everyone. Today i finally managed to experience the multiplayer part of ToW. Here are my AAR.

    It all began when i discovered this link http://chat.conduit.com/chat.aspx?ctid=CT823525 . Yes you guessed it, it's a chat box. So i entered there and found that 3 other fellow ToW'ers are planning an multiplayer game, so i said to myself, heck why not, i wanna join too. Well the connection was pretty fast to the hostinf server (3 seconds) The map was a 2vs2 (can't remember the name)

    So we selected the teams so that russians (me) and germans would be against americans and british troops (stalin and hitler finally reached an agreement on alliance tongue.gif ). Well everything was set to go in few seconds and admin started the game. The loading part was a bit long (5 min aprox.) and after that the game began. I was controling the russians. So my first plan of actions was to send all my troops to a frontal attack on the enemy. (i had few tanks and 3 armoured cars). But after few moments the hell broke loose. The enemy (americans) entrenched themselves on a hill so that only tank turrets would show up. And they started pounding my exposed forces. After about 5 min all my tanks where lost and i had to retreat to the german ( my allies) positions in seek of any protections. But the german's situation was as grim as mine. Although the panther and tiger tank crews tried to do everything posibly they just couldn't stop the advance of the british forces. And the americans approched their left flank. So after 3 min it was all over, we simply got crushed.

    All in all i really had a blast playing mp game. Hopefully a gamespy chat menu will be integrated in the game so the other players could find opponents to play with.

    Lag: well the lag was present during the first 2 minutes of the game and eventually all dissapeared . So the game was very playanble.

    Played on:

    Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHZ 4MB

    ASUS P5N-E SLI NFORCE 650i

    Corsair TITANIUM 4.0GB

    SEAGATE 320GB SATA-300 7200RPM 16mb

    BFG GF-7950GT OC 512mb

    LG DVDRW-18X DL GSA-H50NK BLACK

    ANTEC TX1050B full 500w Black

    Viewsonic vx2035WM 20.1" wide 800:1 5ms SLV/BLK

    So MP is very strong in this game, the devs have to just work on a way to let the players find others to play with.
