The free accounts will then get access to stuff from 1943. this is an older game, but make no mistake. This is not an easy game. this is like no FPS game out there..this is realism extreme. ..this is only for hardcore team players...hardcore fps players. This is not Cod..you will not run at olympic speeds..you get shot once you die. The war usually lasts 50 to 90 days and longer before one side wins the map. the map is 1/2 scale map of europe..it would take you over a week (real time) to walk across this map. This is an older game..the graphics are old but the game play is still the best out there. No comparisons can be made.
I played the crap out of this game for like 8 months when it first came out I was a mod on the Stratics forum and everything for it ... but it was way to slow forming (flying) and then a bit of lag and boom half hour of flying in formation for nothing but tank battles ton of fun and air combat was awesome also
I started back before they started subsciption 1999?..then i subbed for 8 years. I was in allied high command..2IC 43rd inf reg. I was in the squad "Lafayatte" for most of those 8 years. I still hop in game on trial accounts now and then. Ill get the free account now that it is available. Still the best war game I have ever played..or the most fun Ive had with a gun..tank or plane.
