I'm going to order it today since no place in my town has it.
Supposedly the patch improved fps a lot. I've been following the official forums the last day and people are getting good frame rates now. I'm talking 15-20fps to 35-40ps increase.
Infantry being useless... yes I've heard that a lot but very soon they will be more than likely limiting the number of tanks so people will have to play infantry. In addition, they will be getting some AT weapons.
I hear of a lot of crashes, freezes, and errors but I'm not worried. I swear everyone had problems and hated Tribes 2 saying it was buggy yet I never had a single problem with it with the exception of an Unhandled Exception error. It was caused by using the mousewheel to switch weapons. However, that was fixed with like the first patch.
I'm looking forward to it. I expect it to be great when I get it and very kickass within a couple months.
And the reason why it is supposedly buggy and unfinish is because CSR ran out of money. The publisher or whoever was supporting the dev team was going to pull the plug so they had no choice but to release it to make the money and provide all the features and fixes through a patch.
edit: Dark4ng3l - well yes that's an option but you can't have hundreds of people at a time with that. There's just so much more in WW2 Online like planes and tanks (DoD might have these) and I believe they'll be adding boats. They are just so much different. I expect DoD to be more of a fragfest and spawn right into the action while WW2 Online is suppose to be more of a simulation of a real war. I'm kind of sick of HL too.
