Title: Heroes & Generals
Post by: Firebrand on October 03, 2012, 08:21:49 pm
Yesterday i received beta-key! Installed it and did play for a while. I am happy - game is really beautyfull, even if its only beta. Jeeps, artillery, vehicles, light and heavy tanks, mines, all possible hand weapons, plus nice graphics! Game have two aspects
1 - strategic (kinda our Strategus, but MUCH more complicated) - global map of Europe 43-44 with cities, frontline is dynamic its changed according battle results! Strategic part ruled by players "generals" their duty is to supply troops by reinforcemnts, tanks and other stuff.
2 - tactic - really big shiny maps - made really well. (In compare with World Of Tanks - WoT sucks hard.) :)
I entered tactic map (after few minutes of fighting with some bug to launch tactic mode :D) And choose tank crew. So i spawned with Tiger-1. Wow. Thats was cool. I drove my Tiger accross road of little town to the cross-river bridge and there i saw enemies - two jeeps and some supply vehicle. I did aim my 88 mm gun on them and bam- they was blown up! :D That was fantastic. after this their planes bobming area where my tiger was and killed me. And i went to sleep with happyness.
Really cool game! You should check it guys! It seems like game will released soon. For all who loves WW2 stuff. Its Free2Play game, of course with donation! :D
Tank battle teamplay:
Basic gameplay:
I think i will deinstall now WoT! :D

Last played it in alpha, but it sure looks like they improved it a lot. Going to be overshadowed by Planetside 2, but I guess it's still a good option for those who like WW2 theme.

Whoa, I'm kinda interested in the game.
If I can run BF3 on low with 30 fps in intense fights, would this run as well?
I might look into it then.

Judging from the graphics I experienced, you should be able to run it.
Yeah it looks kinda dated, but I have no problems with that. I enjoy those kinda graphics because it looks like a Video Game, not a tryhard shade of brown or blue, with lens flare and a non-existing sun. Haha
Hope I can try it somehow.

Yeah guys, just register in H&G forum - they send 2000 keys every week, you have good chance to get key, and we need more men for epic battles for Europe! :) New build allows 16x16 battles, they are gonna increase it to 32x32 in next builds and then up to 64x64 - that could be real epic ww2 battles!
You can drive tanks, vehicles, planes(fighters and bombers), you can play as infantry, mashine-gunner, sniper, paratrooper jumping from plane, you can be mashine-gunners inside tiger driven by other player. Also you can plan operations on strategic map in real time sending reinforcements in actual battles, capture cities, in future planned ability to buy\build defence upgrades - trencges, bunkers, fox-holes, anti-tank trenches, barbed-wire and other shit.
I wrote on their forum suggestion about flame-throwers, - they promised to implement that in future. Hell, i can't wait when i will be able burn out allied asses from flamethrower in gas-mask, also planned artillery and many many other shit!
Have to say that i am still suck at this game! :) I never played online-shooters like CS, and all those H&G "veterans" seems to have good experience in fps, so they headshot me each time! :) But i can always get inside tiger and beat out shit of them by HE shells! :)

"More Beta-keys We've started scaling up the playerbase and many new betakeys are sent on a daily basis. We are looking to put the game and server architecture through its paces with a larger playerbase, and we also wish to see what happens with the gameplay when the playerbase grows .....
We've partnered up with Square Enix If you don't know who or what Square Enix is, then the short version is that it's a publisher, who amongst other titles has developed, published and distributed Final Fantasy, Hitman, Tomb Raider, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Dead Island, Dragon Quest, Sleeping Dogs, and many other great titles. We're very proud to be part of this lineup and we believe that Square Enix is a perfect match for Heroes & Generals.
We'll continue to run a community driven development, and the main difference to how we've run things so far, is that Square Enix will be handling marketing and PR... oh, and we'll also be able to deliver a lot more content and expand the game a lot faster!
This is a fantastic opportunity for us at Reto-Moto, and the enthusiasm we feel from the people at Square Enix concerning Heroes & Generals is incredible! They are extremely impressed with our community (yup - that's YOU!) and what we have achieved so far, and we hope that you will help us give the crew at Square Enix a warm welcome and support."

How do you actually install it?
I did get the installer and it downloaded everything, afterwars I wanted to start and it told me that I do not have the latest plugin, so I installed again, again.. and again.. and again.. and always just the same.
Still nothing happens.

Game is in closed beta stage, it will be improved much after release. There will be mortars, artillery, engineers, flamethrowers and much more tanks. I love this game. Reto planned to increase battles up to 32x32 and even 64x64 with big beauty maps. Battles are not about pew-pew. Its requiers some teamwork and coordination between different classes of war units. Devs trying to keep authentic athmosphere: weapons, vehicles, armor, uniform. They will add USSR, Britain, Japan, Italy, whole theater of ww2 will be included. With each build i see how game grow up and become more and more complex. Those who like just usual pew-pew shooters better don't try this game you don't like it. There is a lot such shooter like CoD! :) Ah, and one more important detail, developers are really listen opinion of community, new builds bring many changes inspired\suggested by users, gameplay, assault teams structure, structure of strategic commanders and many other shit!

I was hoping to try this out today, being a sucker for WWII. I've registered and installed the game, but logging in seems to take forever, maybe it's a problem with the site?
EDIT: Nevermind, worked after I tried it with Chrome.
EDIT II: Now it says I cannot join any "wars", because they or the factions are full, even though the indicator reads 150/1000 on both factions. Here is a screenie: http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/09/1362056796-wai.png (http://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2013/09/1362056796-wai.png)
EDIT III: So I finally got into the character/campaign screen. After pressing Enter Battle I had to wait 5 minutes for the matchmaking, then another 100 seconds for the game to start and forever to spawn. All I did was stare at some locked camera angle for 10 minutes and I never got to spawn, then the battle was over and I was rewarded 1200 ingame currency almost as a compensation for not being able to play the game at all. Well that sucked some serious balls.

This game is a bit more complex than COD or such shooters. If its too much for you to ask about game mechanix in chat or read game wiki, then this game obviously not for you. Cause game gonna be in time even more complex and deep! :rolleyes:
