COH: Europe In Ruins

Anyone play this?  I finally received a new pc that could actually run their new graphics.. wow, what a graphics hog..

anyways.. anyone play? looking to see if anyone wanted to go tank hunting with the Stug with me :)

It looks pretty cool but if I remember correctly its like 15$ per month which I am not found of. Apparently its a VERY good game though.

ya, it costs per month, but its the pure realism ww2 on the market.  I normally use the Stug3g, love just setting up 1000m plus and ranging targets, its like easy mode.

This game so hard to level up. I am on my trial session.
Fuckkkk how am i supposed to kill a tank with a Mp40 and some HE grenades >:(

I tried it. Didn't really like it. It was fun for a time but too disorganized.

You arent, that aint very hard to figure out now is it?

lol... part of learning the game, its has a very high learning level... but its good once you get going.

what was disorganized? the leaders yelling for help in several cities? suppose thats because they have such a large map and so few players...

I dont get how the game is just so much unpolished and lacking in general gameplay areas if the game is 10 years old.

Most games that I know that have a dedicated fanbase like that usualy are ALOT more developed. I thought about maybe buying a month of this but now I forget it. Proboly a 6-8 month time between content updates.

if its WW2 they dont have mp44, AT nades, Panzershrek,panzerfaust, Hetzer, Panther, and a shitload of other things. AND the allies were overpopulated the whole time I play so us axis just barley holding out, losing in many assaults. And the fact I gotta shoot the crew of an ATG and I see no blood or real notifiation that it is dead(the crew just stand there in the normal positions) other than it doesnt shoot anymore. And I also am shooting at the commanders of tanks and I can't tell if i killed em or not.

Now the few things I do like is the concept of High Command, the ammount of teamwork needed for a assault, the whole Campaign idea, and the persistency.

But overall, it still suck.

You want a nigh flawless game, try EVE.

God I wish someone would make a WW2 MMO as good as EVE and with the same kind of enthusiasm on part of the dev team.

I tried it I didn't really like EVE that much. Its not a FPS.

www.europeinruins.com ? lol

this isnt a MMO herpaderp.

persistancy, leveling, rage posts about things being OP, clans ex "Falcons of Frankfurt", NGO called the 'warmap' designed to make things 'easier', 'mobs', pvp, heavy elitism.

You were saying?

herpity derp herpa derp

FoF was a fun thing. Elitist to hell, I'll admit - but it's what kept my interest going in the campaign for a good while.

What Happend to fall of france?

Why dose nobody play it anymore?

I was talking about Falcons of Frankfurt

Yea population was a problem for one thing, but I have yet to see a massive wargame that requires something similar to RL teamwork that .... works. Internet games just don't have the same motivators and control factors as a real interaction. So if you have 20 people who are part of a good self-structured clan working together to take a city and the city is defended by random dudes doing their own thing, its no contest. I think for games like WW2 Online it would benefit the game in the long run to implement some sort of heavy controlled structure system (like real militaries are forced to use). But that's completely ridiculous because its a game. But then that's the problem  :D

Started playing this now, think I like it enough to stick with it. So who plays it?

Looks like shit tbh, and Satch dont know anybetter so dont listen to him ^^

I love it.. just had a team of 3 m10s race nw of a town... heard there was a attack coming.. low and behold after 10min of waiting after getting in possition 7 tigers came buy, all 3 of us prompty just 1 or 2 rounds in each side of tigers and watched them blow sky high.. the attack ended at that moment... lol.

OP OP OP! NURF NURF NURF ALLIES.

Lol Allies been outnumbering us axis for a while, NOW WE SHALL OUTNUMBER YOU AND RETAKE OUR TOWN!

lol... k.

What I dont get is this: it seems like allies outnumber axis pretty much 24/7, but the axis are slowly pushing back the allies...

better more deidicated players and weapons... period

The Arians can never really loose!! WE are the pure race of man!!!

I very much doubt that when I see how many tigers gets lost by nubs driving them. The lvl you need to take tigers is WAY too low (I could drive them long before I should have been able to). And they can just keep on spawning them until they have depleted a while divisions supply of tigers, all by themselves. They're like "ohh, look at me im in a Tiger, im invincible" and then they get a satchel charge in a weak spot or obliterated by a 17pounder shooting at their side armor. Ive seen way too many tigers die because they use it as some kind of battering ram, instead of using the epic range of the 88 and staying a few kilometers away from a contested city, they drive right in to it and of course they all die faster than they can say "what was that?"

So much love in that post ;)

My teeth grinds whenever I see someone ram a Tiger into an enemy town completely unsupported.

I can hear you raging down the mic, and slamming your mouse in the tabe ^^

Gameplay - 1/10 Terrible, Entire cities are contested by two or three players, you have to run around for hours to find enemy players in the middle of a battlefield 'cause there are so few and no one is organized, not really what I would call a "Battleground", it's like an fps without any action.

Graphics - 1/10 Terrible, It's playable but for a game that takes up a HUGE amount of processor power, memory and bandwidth you'd expect more, especially when there's a monthly fee, I get the feeling that they never actually update the game.

Sound - 1/10 Terrible, The sound effects are really bad, I know it's an old game but it sounds like something they recorded in their basement with a couple of frying pans.

I like Red Orchestra and Forgotten Hope 2 but this is just an abomination.

He's just mad he didn't get a single kill on his trial.

Combine that pic with this one and you have a perfect picture of how I feel when yet another Tiger gets utterly wasted.

Gameplay - Hey just because you didn't realize that enemy players don't have huge name tags over thier head doesn't mean they aren't there. Also, it probably means your a dumbass if you didn't see anyone, as platoons have a bar that shows how much combat there getting.'

Graphics - On the lowest setting it looks like Battlefield 1942, for the size of the game, thats pretty good

Sound - Wow, the guns don't sound like Hollywood guns. Its amazing how people actually believe that hollywood guns are real, when those sounds actually are made from pots and pans. Then when a game has more believable sounds. (aka quite similiar to a firing a .22) they think its un-realistic.

Gameplay - Yeah, I guess I've been playing when there weren't that many players online. I will give it another try.

Graphics - I didn't complain about the graphics, I said the game was very demanding to run, something that BF1942 is not.

Sound - Hollywood sounds? I own a .22 revolver and they barely make any sound at all, most of the noise comes from the bullet hitting the target, something that is not even included in Battleground Europe, you won't know when your being shot at cause it makes no noise and the sounds from firing a weapon in first person sounds terrible! The sounds in this game are bad even by 1998 standard.

I lol'd

+1

Yea, lets just say that the 5.56mm makes a pretty good bang, and the 7.62mm and .50 make a much louder noise. Hand grenades are pretty loud in real life too.

I meant a .22 rifle they make a pretty good crack, although you have no need to wear a head set. Yeah the game is kinda demanding considering the amount of stuff the servers and your pc have to process.

1 question, isn't an airsoft more deadly then a .22 revolver? i mean can that thing even penetrate flesh?

Big difference

It is technically possible to kill or seriously injure someone with an airsoft gun since they can pierce through skin if you hold it in someones face, but not likely.

Not really comparable to a .22 that can definitely kill someone (and yes pierce through skin ofc).

If you fire at someone with a .45 ACP or 9mm then that bullet is gonna go right through them and kill them, but unless you hit a vital organ, not instantly.

That's where it differs, the .22 or .25 is not likely to kill someone unless you're very close but it can do so instantly and without making much sound. It's not powerful enough to go through your body but that can sometimes make it bounce off bones and sinews in the body damaging multiple organs and arteries. if the victim is running, you're not likely to stop or kill him with a .22. So that snubnose you posted is not really gonna stop that burglar, just make him madder. If however you have a more powerful gun, like a handgun with .22 ammo and know where/how to aim and fire at close range then you are extremely likely to kill someone, hence why it's a popular choice for hitmen and commandos. You may have to fire 7-8 shots though, so it's not ideal for close protection.

Basically, .22 caliber guns are dangerous weapons and should be handled with the same precausions as any other gun and unlike airsoft they are not designed to be fired at other people.

22 revolver like that can be stopped by a leather jacket.

They are designed to be shot at people

No.
And they are not designed to be fired at people. They are designed for training purposes and small game hunting.

wow, do some research.

or just learn this. Guns are desgined to kill people first, hunting comes second.

Yes today .22 is used primarily for hunting, but thats not what they were designed for due to the fact that when something becomes obsolete for the military it usually ends up in civilian hands.

if any of you think a .22 isnt dangerous tell me your location.... wear as much leather jackets you want lol. 22 will peirce your skull and WILL kill you. No doubt. And I am pretty sure most firearm engagements happen under 60m.

Yeah civilian firearm engagements typically don't play out in the several hundred meters typical in military ones ^^.

My Phallus will pierce your skull guaranteed.  :D

I don't know what the point of this argument is. Other then the fact that you seem quite angry, and the .22 is still fucking useless, and i wouldn't trust it against anything bigger then a rabbit.

What exactly are you basing this on?? Somehow your replies manage to get even stupider and make less sense every time you write something. The fact that you think a leather jacket can stop a gun shot is just sad.

Different .22 ammunition was developed between 1840-1890 but they were all intended for varmint hunting, self protection or target practice often as an introductory caliber for children. They never saw any military use or were in any way affiliated with the military.

You guys are all dumn :P    22 has a very low chance to kill.  Last year a guy shot himself in the head while cleaning his (not sure how people are STILL this frigging dumb) and it took him two days to die from brain damage/bleeding in ze brain.

Battleground Europe is awesome, I've played it off and on for 4 years.  If you're by yourself it sucks balls.  But if you get in with a squad and get in some nice battles its super fun.  Its not ment to be about the graphics, its a simulation game.

I'm in a squad with a small core of hardcore gamers, voip included.

Anyone want to join?
