Gadger 0 Posted April 7, 2004 IMO Far Cry is great, its like Half Life 2 before Half Life 2, the amount of modding and editing that can be done to the game is on a par with OFP. Join Operations made me laugh all the way to the remove programs list. Any more bad comments on Soldner and it may not even make it onto my HD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vognsen 0 Posted April 7, 2004 If u want a fast server, try this danish one: http://files.dailyrush.dk/demos/soldnerbeta_demo.exe their main site: www.dailyrush.dk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Metalmalte 0 Posted April 7, 2004 guys, just don't dl that "demo". it is the badest game i have ever played since CS!!! it's not worth, dling!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S_Z 0 Posted April 7, 2004 I would say Söldner is closer to OFP than it is to BF or CS. The feeling when you move around is pretty much like in OFP and you see your own body in first person view just like in OFP. Same type of iron sights like in OFP too. I haven’t tied many of the vehicles yet, only a couple of cars and vehicle physics still need alot of work (but vehicle physics isn’t OFPs strong side either). I must say I’m a bit disappointed but I’m going to give the game a chance, remember it’s just a beta. BTW, If you cant get in to a server you can always start your own dedicated server (run Server.bat) and then join through LAN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted April 7, 2004 DAMN!!! I can't get Söldner to connected to the internet. I need to selfpatch something on Söldner before I can start MP. But I can't becouse of this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gameer 0 Posted April 7, 2004 Hehe, I just spent 14 hours downloading it on a 56k modem and it won't even start-up. Heh heh, how funny... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blink Dog 0 Posted April 7, 2004 if you start a lan server you can play without anyone just to see the graphics and get a feel for the gameplay. This I like: -Soldier customization -Emotes -Building destrution What I don't like: -vehicle control -vehicle models -Multiplayer hook up -Engine renduring Over all I would rate this game as great for an early beta version but if they release this game without vastly improveing the game I would have to say it will totally bomb. Also haveing gay spy and other stupid game review/news sites be the primary hosts for the demo is just cheap, I hope they host their own patches when this game comes out.

Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted April 7, 2004 Lol, I have been the one defending the game even though I havent even coped making it run once. What an axxkisser I am! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted April 7, 2004 I can start the game, but can't get in to multiplayer. I just sent a mail to them asking about that Why dosen't the multiplayer show the servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4 IN 1 0 Posted April 7, 2004 well i DO get the game started, and i also DO get the server list shows up, What i COULDN'T do is that i cant get into the server, cause it just keep showing up 408 connection timed out~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted April 7, 2004 Then we know that Söldner sucks  No one can connect to a server. But I still miss the camo and the things you can do with your player on Söldner on to OPF. Wish wish wish... EDIT: Wish also that building can be destroyed in OPF2 and that the weather options is better on OPF2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albert Schweitzer 10 Posted April 7, 2004 what I did was to open a lan server (windows, start, bla bla) and then moved into multiplayer..worked fine. Just the game sucks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted April 7, 2004 Good idea Albert Schweizer, I'll get right on it. Söldner here we come! PS: 3500 post left to beath you Albert Schweizer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrZig 0 Posted April 7, 2004 !@#$ I actually ACTUALLY got connected once, and you know what happend? IT RESTARTED MY COMPUTER **** I AM GOING INSANE. I want to personally make the devs life HELL for releasing this piece of **** ALPHA _THING_ whatever it is. AGAHG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted April 7, 2004 I did'nt even bother to try it out online. I hosted my own server and just tried out a couple of weapons and vehicles. This is bullshit I can't believe I've been waiting for this piece of shit. Bring on OFP2 and FarCry's SDK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colossus 2 Posted April 7, 2004 Söldner is official uninstalled on my computer, not even the LAN trick didn't work to me. 5min just to open the LAN server window, that slowed the computer down extremely. To open Söldner took 5min extra and It took 15 min to start playing on the LAN server, which in fact did lost connection   (Why the hell can it lose connection when it is on the same computer as the server is on?) I can't believe I've been waiting for this piece of shit. Couldnt agree more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted April 7, 2004 I'm not very well-versed in German, so please enlighten me: does Söldner mean "Sit at the server browser screen for an hour without successfully connecting to one game"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoOB 0 Posted April 8, 2004 After having read what you guys all have to say about this game I think I will stick to MFCTI's and coop maps for a while longer. I wish more people could see that OFP is the only way to go until OFP2 is released Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4 IN 1 0 Posted April 8, 2004 well they did have said something true:MULTIPLAYER ISNT THE SAME~(as you cant even connect to a goddamn server ) gess i would stuck to OFP for a long~long~time(untill OFP2 out ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
