Soldner = Epic fail.

A great forum, utterly butchered by the release of the game it was built to promote.

I think people should remember this game well before they start blasting on Codemasters.

What he wanted to say is: Jowood even worse than Failmasters.

And he's actually right with that. :D

I have to agree with that. Jowood is really, really big crap

Three years after the announcement :D Nowadays there's so much competition even in f2p games that releasing a free version of a game dating to 2004 isn't going to impress anyone I'm afraid.

While the game failed as a whole, Soldner had some very ambitious features for the time, that weren't matched by BIS until many many years later. Most notably:

-practically endless map (procedural generation of terrain, with trees and rocks)

-huge view distance for low detail terrain

-dynamic building destruction

-deformable terrain

-bullet penetration

-thermal imaging
