Nifty Söldner Trailer
Thursday, March 11th, 2004 - 8:12am
Well, the Wings guys have released a nice trailer (Shack, GH) for Söldner: Secret Wars. I recommend giving it a try if you haven't seen the game in action yet. I'm looking forward to this shooter, but if the build I got to play months ago is an indicator of its perfomance, prepare to see your CPU steaming. Anyone here in the multiplayer beta? (Of course, I'm pretty sure it's been optimized meanwhile, but still could be quite a resource hog.)
Well, i''m just about sold. Although the examples for the ""Advanced Gesture System"" seemed a little kooky. But that might''ve just been the guy giving me the Crotch-thingy there.
Either way, it looks like one heck of an undertaking, and one that i''m down for. I know it''s going to be more run-n-gun FPS style, which i''ll enjoy, but this makes me wonder if anyone will ever attempt what Operation Flashpoint tried to do again?

Actually, the game is closer to OFP than the trailer makes it look like. You know, larger battlefields and they try to make the guns somewhat realistic. It''s a mix of BF1942 and OFP, although it also has a partial CS feel to it due to the weapons involved. More accessible than OFP, more strategical and tactical options than BF1942 thanks to the Commander and great clan support.
Also, did I mention the part where Teut Weidemann promised a free add-on if Söldner sells more than 500,000 units?
Operation Flashpoint was the first thing I thought of when I saw the game in action actually. It has a similar ""feel"" to it. Hopefully it''s just as much fun!

What is the ETA on the release of this game? Gamestop.com has 5/5/04. Is the ""word on the street"" that it will make the release? If so, I will might be spending more money that I thought on games
I will just have to buy a smaller house this summer, haha.

I''m pretty sure it will.

The unattainable is unknown at zombo.com!
I''m pretty sure she will.
Oh yes, in case i''d forgotten...
The breath of weapons really... well took my breath away. If they can have that many weapons, I hope and pray that they''ll actually make all of them, in some slight way distinct, rather than just basically giving the same guns different models.

Check out their weapon section for more information. (Not complete yet.) And once the game is done they''re going to add more weapons over time.
Yeah.
PC gaming is dead.
Sure.
Looks like a killer game to me
Why do I admire videogames so much?
There's nothing else on earth that entwines art and science so closely.
I wasn''t a big fan of OFP, mainly because of the performance and how complicated it was. This might be right up my alley.

I must say that Soldner is dang impressive looking. One thing I heard was that you can actually sky dive!! Now that would be impressive. I have also heard that the vehicles are not to complicated to drive. Something for everyone!
