    Paladin reminded me yesterday, so I checked this morning. Free trial starting today, runs until sunday night.

    Fire up your STEAM client, and it will give you options from there.

    Might be nice to try for free. A little distraction. . .

    I PLAYED IT A BIT AND IT KIND OF SUCKED.

    Got in a small tank like vehicle and could not see ANYTHING at all!
    How can you drive like that? A reduced view I can understand but this was almost zero!
    Then the anti-tank is really a gun and you have to go prone to shoot it and it did not seem to do hardly any damage at all. I think it may be too realistic for me. 😉

    Before they invented the panzerschrek/bazooka kind of AT weapon they had anti-tank rifles. The Boyes rifle is probably the most famous. Of course they were designed to work against the really light armor of the period between WWI and WWII and early in WWII, but they were pretty much useless against anything with even moderate armor.

    The BG42 mod has them in it as does Forgotten Hope. In BG they used to be fairly useless against vehicle but jeeps, but you could snipe people with them 😎

    I am aware of the actual guns. I just do not like using them in a game 😉

    Believe it or not this is one reason we played so much of the 1942 DC mod over the original game. I HATED the original games guns and tanks etc.... You could not see very well with them etc...

    The DC mod made the game much more of a game. I guess I really am not into the WWII realistic games that much.

    BF42 had no realism.

    And the view was the same as BFV and BF2 if the server was set to Nosecam.

    I was looking forward to this release.
    Played for 5 min in single player to learn movements and that was it.
    Didn't care for it. Probably should try MP.

    I'm looking forward to this release:

    I tried it also.
    B-O-R-I-N-G

    There are some real die hard RO players, but my attention span is WAY TO SHORT to belly crawl for 5 min just to they to make a kill.

    Nope - no thanks.
