World of Tanks - WW2 MMO Anyone else playing this? I know lots of people from Eve have been playing. It's currently in closed beta and you may view the main website here. There are plans for conquerable territory and large scale clan battles on massive maps. The game's developers are Russian and they are working on making the game a good meld of historical accuracy and fun. What is World of Tanks? World of Tanks is a team-based massively multiplayer online action game dedicated to armored warfare. Throw yourself into the epic tank battles of World War II with other steel cowboys all over the world. Your arsenal includes more than 150 armored vehicles from America, Germany, and the Soviet Union, carefully detailed with historical accuracy. A flexible system of authentic vehicle upgrade and development allows you to try any of the vehicles and weapons in the game. Whether you prefer to exhaust your foes with fast and maneuverable light tanks, make deep breaches in enemy lines with all-purpose medium tanks, use the force of giant tanks to eliminate opposing armored forces, or become a heavy sniper with long-range howitzers, each unit type has its own advantages and can be extremely effective when operated by a true tank ace. But being a great tank commander alone isn't enough to win! In the World of Tanks, it’s all about teamwork. Victory is achieved by combining your combat skills with those of the other members of your team, each playing their own role on the battlefield. Just add your favorite strategy to build your own iron empire and manifest the indisputable authority of the tank power! Team Play Intense battles with up to 60 combat vehicles unfold on enormous and detailed battlefields featuring a variety of terrain from open fields with hills and forests to deserts and industrial zones. The terrain offers a wide scope for tactical decisions from aggressive fast-paced thrusts to elaborate flanking operations and diversionary attacks. Map Styles World of Tanks also takes place in a variety of terrain and battlefield types. From a war torn city in France to scenic mountains in Germany. There are also many more varieties of battlefields I cannot post here due to the closed nature of the beta. If you wish to pick up a free beta key they are up here. And finally here is a video of the gameplay. Basically you are a tank in WW2
Arty are only super powerful in the recruit level matches. Arty is drastically less dangerous after tier 2
CCP pretty directly gave their playerbase the finger. I have paused all my subscriptions to see if they pull their out of their asses. Lots of people are just as mad
Yeah well CCP dropping the ball in a way that hasn't been emulated since SWG has done amazing things for WoT player population.
Oh it's also worth mentioning the game will be free to play. Unlike many F2P this one's cash shop offers no advantage in game. Simply things like increased XP, Cash earnings, and crew training speed.

I linked to your thread but its not in the Upcoming Game Chatter. Maybe you can get your thread moved. I am reading up on this and it sounds like a really good game for XoO. *Also I was just bumping Doctories old post from May.
Every time I come here it's a different set of forums and subforums. Wasn't even aware we had this forum. I would actually be appreciate if someone moved my thread here or simply merged the threads. edit: And if you're going to push an upcoming game id go about bumping the thread with more info than a youtube video.
