Heroes and Generals

[Rico]

Hmm ... signed up ... entered a firefight just to see what's up ... lots of running around like a headless chicken with a rifle...and I got killed several times ... although good thing you get what looks like a semi-automatic rifle as German player instead of a bolt-action Karabiner...

Could be fun.

... now back to RL work.

 

[Bootie]

Ok have got the review done but it is going to take hours to upload... should be up by tonight... hopefully.

 

[Floki]

Looking forward to the review. I'm still having a devil of a time entering a battle, its like flipping a coin...waiting for the battle to load 50% of the time it fails. Is the server only European based? Maybe that's my problem.

 

[Nathangun]

Played this before. Wasn't overly impressed.

 

[Bootie]

Here ya go guys... apologies for the initial audio levels... it does sort out once I go in game.

 

[mTk]

After due consideration, I think I'm giving up on this. Just don't have the "twitch" skills necessary to (ever) be any good at it.

 

[Rico]

Ok, fought my way through the "First Blood" training battle as German soldier .... slowly getting the hang of things like taking cover etc -- a little less headless chicken...LOL ... turns out I was pretty handy with the sniper rifle.

Wow glad you guys like the game. Perhaps we could indeed try to find some time to form a squad. And yes it will take some time to get some fancy weapons but it is worth it. Best is to play staged battles. The wait time to enter one is less then a minute while entering a war battle takes over 5 minutes.

If you can you can spend money on buying a veteran membership or a ribbon booster. To speed things up. Every once in awhile you get a veteran membership for free.

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

Ow and my player name is Grenadier79.
I'll ask around how I can change my name to [FGM]Grenadier79

 

[Bootie]

Yeah... then I can become [FGM]DasBootie.

 

[Rico]

My player name is Rico-FGM ... my German rookie soldier is Rico Schnitzelmeier

 

[Dutch Grenadier]

I asked on the forum. You can not change your account name but you can change your player name.

 

[Floki]

floki_fgm is my call sign. I added @Dutch Grenadier and @Rico as friends. I'm only a lowly level 2 and seem to only be able to shoot like a sissy girl.

 

[mTk]

I'll probably keep playing for a bit longer as I paid some money to be a "veteran" so until that runs out...
You can add me to your "friends" list as [Redryder1]. My German soldier's name is Blakjak Koler.

 

[mTk]

@Bootie What is your account name for friends purposes?
Oh, and a question. Why are some friendlies designated with a blue triangle and some orange/yellow?

 

[Bootie]

My username is Bootie or DasBootie - add me.

yellow means they are on your squad. Blue mean they are on your team. and no name designation means SHOOT!

Cool, thanks.

Played a bit more ... if you play with a squad, can you communicate and co-ordinate... or is is still basically a mad running around and shooting?

It is an FPS so people are Always running around like headless chickens While in a squad there is no extra communication but we have TS. There are no ingame communications (yet)
