I received a Soldner community e-mail from SSW-Academy, the new Soldner community representative. He had this to say:You were interested in Soldner and maybe left it because there were several bugs? Because of this it's up to us (the community) to show you (as one of over 17,300 community members) that many things have been changed and modified!Do you think Soldner is still buggy?
Do you think Soldner still has the crashes to desktop of the release version?
Do you think Soldner still has problems with hardware compatibility? (e.g., joysticks)
Do you think Soldner was a good idea with an awful realisation?
ABSOLUTELY WRONG ... THAT WAS THE PAST!All this belongs to history. Wings worked hard together with the community and changed many details to make Soldner the game you (we) always wanted!
Here are some changes:
all sounds recorded new (birds, water, wind, weapons...)
new graphic effects (infra-red vision, nightvision...)
new weapon ballistics (sniper, rocket launcher...)
airstrike function
advanced score system
new weapon systems (laser-guided bombs, camera-guided rockets)
new netcode (works fine with 50 players!)
new kits (scout kit, scuba kit...)
new maps (desert, coast...)
With the new Addon (Soldner Marine Corps) you will be able to buy many new vehicles, weapons... especially European equipment (Leopard, Challenger, Leclerc).
A new way to challenge your opponents is also opened: the way through the water! Now you can transport your troops with boats or fight with some scout boats equipped with gatling guns.
Without the addon but with the new patch you are able to test the new
weapons but you can't buy them at the terminals (someone else has to buy them for you!). So Wings is the first developer who will make all players (addon and non-addon) able to play together!
If you are interested in all the new features and possibilities, just
download the latest patch and give Soldner another try.
We (the community) wish to present you the new Soldner experience and we are no longer on our own! Several game magazines (especially the ones who give Soldner bad marks) tested the new addon and patch and have given them
ratings of about 80 percent and more!
PC Action: "Respect! I like the infantry fights in the woods and especially the tank battles on the desert maps. No bugs, advanced menusystem, more weapons and good maps make Soldner the game it should have always been! A funny multi-player game! We recommend this game to all multiplayer-shooter-fans. This buy will [pay for itself] itself! (80%)"
To convince you, we will show you what some old Soldner players of the first days think about the new Soldner. Here are some comments made by reactivated players:
Deadman: "yeah I'm back and can only say Soldner will really rock NOW! I play regularly from now on and have a lot of fun!"[A-Team]Ridcully: "Wow! Like this Soldner should ever be and I wished it would be! There were some bugs, but every Online-shooter has some. A good match requires skill and luck and it will do a lot of fun!"
=FPC=Sonic: "My first impression of the addon was very positive, now many details looks finished and no longer half-made like before. This [is the] way the release version should have been!"
mystaka: "this is the best Soldner patch of all time, the most important aspect is, that there are no more lags. Before it was impossible for me to play the game! It's like an absolutely new game."
So, please, help us and do yourself a favour, install Soldner again and download the latest patch!
Like we say, we are the community, we won't lie to you! This mail was made by us for YOU!
Take a look at the UKW Soldner Marine Corps Video (approx. 60 Meg .zip, extract to approx. 90 Meg Windows Media Video) to see what you are waiting for.
WILL YOU GIVE SOLDNER A SECOND CHANCE? EVERYONE SHOULD GET A SECOND CHANCE!!!
See you soon on one of the Soldner servers!
