Great Ideas, Awful Execution

The sheer number of cool ideas in Soldner make it worth a play but otherwise don't expect to be blown away.

Had this been released with the intended polish it could have made the Battlefield series look like a simpletons flash game. unfortunatelty the ego of the lead dev combined with the tight-fisted publisher made this game still born. The only reason people are able to play this at all is because a few hardcore fans took it upon themselves to sew up many loose ends. They did this on their own dime. While they should be applauded, it DOES make for a sad commentary on the state of PC gaming.

Anyhow, if you can grab this for $10, go for it. There are still several European servers running last I checked. If you can find a stable game running you'll have a blast.

the games works fine after the patches have been installed

Soldner: Secret wars is a great game. It does require that you have a monster PC to run it smoothly. I recommend having a Pentium 4 with AT LEAST 512 MB of ram to run it smooth. The game runs pretty nice on low video cards so that doesn't really matter what kind of video card you have.

What i love about this games is you can buy every weapon imaginable. The game has over 60 weapons in it. Everything from a revolver with a scope on it, to rocket launchers you've never heard of. Even more exciting, the game allows you to get 70 vehicles (Note that you can get more Cars, jets, and tanks than weapons). You can get the M1 Abrams, or just a tractor if you want cheap transpotation. Multi player may get frustrating, though, because peopole like to "snipe" you before you can buy your gear.

The game allows you to fly in maps with terrain that's over 20 KM large. You can fly a plane for forever and still see trees and hills passing by! The game gives you such freedom to go wherever you want. One of my favorite things to do is skydive from a helicopter into the enimie's base from like a mile high. Single player is a blast, too because your player has to complete little missions (Like capture a person, or destroy a target) And you win vehicles, and weapons to have more fun with. There is also a new expansion pack that includes desert missions. It is called "Marine Corps". It allows you to buy boats, and subs, and other SWEET things! It is not in the US yet. You can order it online, though.

Bottom line: If you like huge games, and have a fast PC, this game is for you! Don't listen to other people who say they hate the game and it is horrible, they probably haven't played more than 5 minutes - and don't know what they are talking about.

WOW

I play alot of PC games - this one blows me away. The detail and amount of weapons and vehic is crazy - the single player mode is kind of simple - but the real fun is playing online (no charge) you team up with people all over the world. I does take some practice to be able to drive and fly without crashing, but it's worth the effort. The programers thought of so many things you can do: drive cars, tanks, APC's jeeps, fly choppers jets planes and even VTOL jets, plant explosives with diffrent types of fuses (motion, time or remote) get a sniper kit with camo that makes you invis. get a commander kit to give orders to your team. swim, skydive. hundreds of weapons. It may be the best game I have ever had.

Poor at Best

I bought this game hoping that it would be a winner like the Battle Field series, or MOHAA. I was VERY disappointed.. The game claims to have realistic damage and many differnt vehicles/aircraft to fly. While their are many different vehicles, they all act alike.. They are difficult at best to control and the details are horrible. The liflike damage is poor, but you can level a whole town with an Abrams, unlike some other war games. This game is not worth the money, go out and buy a game like the Battlefield series, or the MOHAA series. The only thing good I can say about this game is that I am glad that I only paid 38 for this, instead of it's original 50 price tag.

I LOVE THIS!

Unlike most games, you don't walk into a one mile map loaded with maniacs and 10 different vehicles, you get MORE! The destruction system is great, except it has flaws when you get into a non timelimit server. Tanks cause craters, and you even get a realistic feel when making them. Cars range from sedans and SUVs to HEMTT mobile respawn vehicles. All of the vehicles react different. On most maps, Daytime/nightime features can aid or hinder your attack. As in, Bring out your AH-64s at day, then whip out night planes for some serious bombing. I have one problem, though. The sniper kit will really ruin parts of the base, but it's no problem. Get an M1A1 Abrams and shell everything! Planes have MiGs to secret Raptors, Night planes to transport planes (lag mobiles). Each building is accessible, and I found an awesome map. FIRST STRIKE. It has a four minute fly over a long strip of ice, then a two minute cruise over pure ice cold water, which comes to an island an and easy- to - destroy base. It is fun sneaking throught buildings, preserving everything (so noone thinks your are trying anything sneaky) and them rigging the base. You can hog fences, dive through winodows (which make a lot of noise, espionage people) and even climbing ladders to tops of buildings. It even has a lock-on stinger system for knocking te enemys' fresh new Commanche to peices. It is an awesome game and I reccomend it. I could talk about it forever. You will like it when you sneak past 16 people, a guard tower, a few unpatient people buying choppers, and going RIGHT by them all. I did. And, I made the base a bit smaller. Just buy it.

redefining bad games

This game is really really bad. There is no way of telling if whos on your team and who isn't. When you shoot a tank with another tank a crater forms underneigth the tank that swallows the tank. The graphics are poor at best, with even worse animations. The physics are mediocre, with tanks catching huge air from jumping craters. The sound effects are okay, but when you crash vechicals into buildings it sounds as if a bomb just went off. Though the worst thing about this game is that it was lagging on single player on my 3GHz pentium 4, 1 GB Ram, ATI 9800 pro 256. Your way better off buying a good game like something from the battlefield series.

The usual fourleaf clover.

Unlike the majority of people who spent their time writeing long negative reviews about this, there is one thing they have forgot to mention.

The play expirience in this game is so much different from any other FPS/3rdPS out there. The fact that the levels are huge makes it uniquely great because... listen to this... you can actually do COVERT things. Much unlike UT20XX and BF and CoD. This game you actually have the ability to move stealthy all the way to your objective and let yourself be seen only at the last crucial moment... I've played lots of squard based games... for close quaters and major battle fields, and nothing can match the feeling playing this game creates.

On the other hand. Sure the graphics arent hugely magnificent... SO they didn't team up with Nvidia to create some crazy expensive driver... or do what others do gank one from a more popular game. All this did was give them slightly less texture quality for major addition to game customization... and yes you can blow buildings up, and destroy chunks of the landscape with explosives, and sorry if every spec of dirt is flinging towards your face, but most explosions all you see is smoke.

For what seems like a new company they have really created a good game, and battle enviroment.

As for bugs... its a new game... no matter what the game type is or who its by if its NEW it has bugs that have to be worked out AFTER its release... hence the patching

5 Stars for hilariously fun(yes my friends and I have so much fun we die laughing) events ingame either a giant airstrike on a enemy base, or a covert sniper team and a few rockets to destroy major targets this game is a different extremely nice break from the average shooter.

baaaaaaaaaad

i was informed that this would be the game to outbeat battlefeild 1942, so i picked up a copy, the box looked good enough. well i'm sorry but i am not a fan of soldner, its to sloppy, its not clean cut at all, you start the game and you find yourself waiting forever to load, walking forever to find anyone, when you do find someone the shooting lasts 5 seconds, then you either walk miles to find another, or walk miles to get back from the starting point. i really dislike this game and i'm going to stick with Battlefeild for my war mongering

Better than I expected

I almost didn't buy this game because of the negative reviews. It seems that either people love the game or hate it. Those who hated it didn't seem to think it was fast-paced enough. This is why I liked it. The vendor has patched the game and corrected the problems other reviewers complained about. The graphics and gameplay were flawless in single mode and online play.

One reviewer complained that the area was too big and combat was to seldom, however, the maps guide your way to the objectives and if you follow the mission there is always action. I have played online popular online war games and this is quite different. One thing is that you can use almost anything. Second, you can destroy almost anything. Third, it has more strategy and offers more options for coordinated efforts among team members.

Some of the other popular games are blood baths where you rush in and try to kill someone before you get killed. You respawn and rush in again. The action is at a blinding speed and a soldier's lifespan is quite short. This game can be fast paced when taking an objective, but there is more time to think, coordinate an attack and set up a defense.

I have to give it 5 stars. It is slower paced than some games, but has many advantages that other games are missing. When I say slower paced I don't mean slow paced. There is plenty of action but you have time to plan your move before going into the action.
