{GATT} Soldner Review

[Anonymous]

An excellent review of soldner.

I found the bit about certain innovations surprising. C&C Renegade has
nailed these but it's almost as though no one cares.

Vehicular availability for instance, based on individual money rather than
camping by spawn points. Also, buying weapons under cover, rather than in
the open at a terminal watched over by snipers. Nonetheless, it's a good
read.

A snippet

I am a simple person. I like my meat rare, my potatoes baked, and my
first-person shooters lag-free. I found my Soldner experience to be like
ordering steak at chain restaurant; sometimes the meat was done right - not
too rare, not too cooked. Other times they burnt the order. In other words,
when the game worked great, it was a fantastic experience; when it didn't,
it was an exercise in frustration.
Soldner has gone through three Beta releases for its multiplayer component,
if you count the patches. The first public beta was as close to a fiasco as
a beta can be. The master browser for the servers was in the dev's offices
and they didn't anticipate the demand, leading the server list not
populating properly. To add to the woes, connecting to the servers was a
challenge, and if you were able to get connected, staying connected and
having decent latency was almost impossible.
