killmore Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 It does not have to be CM, I want to see a huge map and I would fight for just a small sector. Other sectors are played by other players... I want to feel that my battles did affect the situation in some way. There would be major factories/cities providing "resource points". My troops could be surrounded and cut off from supplies. I want to be given a certain number of points to buy new troops any way I choose. If I loose my troops it will affect my future fighting strength. (Unless I get a lot of replacements) I want to fight for the territory... I want to see large amounts of territory changing hands - every time I log in. My units could be moved to far away sectors if needed - (not historical but I don't really care). Weak players would be matched against weak players - strong against strong. Sometimes you fight against someone better sometimes against someone weaker... I would like to play with realistic WWII equipment but not be forced into specified force composition. Let me have ahistorical mix like in CC (but no Tigers in 1941!) - ie ahistorical mix of tanks/infantry that existed at that point of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subvet Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 There is already a game like this in the works. It's called World War 2 Online. Closed beta has started already. It is soon to be expanded, as right now there are only a few people in the beta. I'm signed up to beta test it, but haven't received my NDA yet.

PeterNZer Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 I had a dream last night. I was waiting for a plane with some friends, we were going to new york, but the plane was late. For some reason I was flying United Arab Emerates. PeterNZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Bates Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 Problem is, WW2 Online will cost X amount of money to play each month, and a lot of people may not be prepared to pay that. It would be nice to have a "sector" type WW2 game that does not have to be paid for every month. If there was a way of publishing 4 inter-linked Combat Mission maps, with roads which are common to each map or something, then this would be a kind of multi-player Combat Mission.

Guest dirkd1976 Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 I had a dream last night too. It involved a supermodel, whipped cream, and....well I bet you can guess where it went from here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killmore Posted October 23, 2000 Author Share Posted October 23, 2000 WWII Online does not seem to use realistic values for its penetration etc. It feels more like a WWII Quake level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted October 23, 2000 Share Posted October 23, 2000 This isn't really related, but Bungie's upcoming game, Halo, will allow people to play different roles in a multiplayer game. It's kind of an open ground shootemup, with vehicles and hovercraft thrown in. It's going to be great. http://halo.bungie.com ------------------ Charon doesn't make change.

Subvet Posted October 24, 2000 Share Posted October 24, 2000 Problem is, WW2 Online will cost X amount of money to play each month, and a lot of people may not be prepared to pay that. Well, I don't think you will see any massive multiplayer games that are going to be free to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
