Not only does the huge gaming field mean you're unlikely to tread in the same place twice, the online games can be tweaked so much that you'll probably never play the same mission-type twice either.
But each of these can be edited to change objectives and parameters. So, for example, you could alter a CTF to turn it into a Capture the Helicopter in which case you'll have to fly it back to base without it being destroyed or you could turn a Hostage Rescue into a weapon retrieval mission.
On top of that, Expert mode will allow you to configure a vast number of additional parameters, add your own scripts and generally tinker to your heart's content. Wings is also making Soldner as easy to mod as possible, almost guaranteeing a long, healthy life for the game. First there was Battlefield , then Planetside , now bringing up the rear is Soldner, the latest first-person shooter to jump on the let's add loads of vehicles and wide-open spaces to get lost in' bandwagon.
Actually, compared to what's gone before, this German-crafted game adds many a welcome feature that, in theory, might improve the likes of Battlefield a great deal more. The buildings are all fully destructible, a shell fired at the ground leaves a crater for troops to huddle in and there's a very powerful command feature that means one player can order and keep track of his team-mates - even issuing them with equipment should they request it.
What's more, with dozens of weapons, class-based character customisation and over 70 vehicles to climb into, from jeeps and tanks, to helicopters and fighter planes, Sdldner is probably the most comprehensive game in its class. It's also the worst by quite a considerable margin. Let's start with the best bits and work our way down. The command feature works very well, it has to be said, although teamwork was rarely in evidence - which is down to the fact that most players are still finding their way.
In the air, the game is rather enjoyable too, with aircraft that are far easier to master than in Battlefield Vietnam - the ability to bail from a plane and open your parachute late to make a stealthy landing is probably one of the game's best experiences. Not much else measures up to that promise, sadly.
First, the graphics Well, they do the job, but they're unlikely to test even the most mediocre of graphics cards. The maps are suitably big. The mechanics of the game are even less impressive - vehicle handling is laughably simplistic and far too sensitive, buildings come apart in the most unconvincing way, fences disappear rather than attempt to fall over and when you aim your cannon at the ground a crater does appear, but try and dig another and the cursor won't allow it.
Then there are the play issues, the chronic imbalance between player classes the whole game is a sniper's love-in , getting stuck among felled trees, the abysmal single-player game.. Well, it drove me mad anyway. Out of the box the game is bugged beyond belief and although the recent patch has staved off a few stability and lag issues, it's going to take a lot more work before Soldner is able to take numbers away from Unreal Tournament and Battlefield.
Which is a shame, because as a team game it has the potential to be the best. We hope you had a good time and we will try to keep it recreational here.
So instead of getting right back into the action we brought some stuff that allows for great distance, astonishing views and relaxing hikes. Not less important is saving the date 5th of September CET, since the glorious Joint-Community-War will make a return and we hope, so do you Soldner! Last week a member of our community made us aware of a serious security vulnerability in the game. The new patch will fix it. Other than that, there are no changes. We will be back with more news on the game on the 19th of August, since work will continue even through our holidays.
If your holiday plans got scrapped by corona, or you simply have time to spare, - did I mention we still need help localizing? Feel free to get in touch with Badhunter on Discord, he will solve any problem concerning too much free time in virtually no time. We wish you a nice and sunny summer, with lots of pool- or beach- instead of screen-time and no disturbances in your relaxation operations. Before we lift off for vacation, here is our selection of tracked, fun and gun tools.
This week also including a journey to the past for better appreciation. Challenger old vs. Final polishing has begun and we want to update you on the progress made with your favorite home defense tools.
The kind of thing you just fire two blasts, outside the house…. First for all, sorry for not keeping the schedule, but Germany has some spots where one does not simply use mobile internet… Although I have to admit it adds recreational value. Having updated and merged your contributions regarding our localization efforts, we still have stuff we need a hand with. So, if you are interested in lending a hand, earning a place in the game credits and history of the Soldnerverse — get in touch with Badhunter on Discord — especially if you can help with these languages: Chinese French Spanish Italian Czech Japanese Korean Turkish Hungarian Arabic.
Since we still have a request to fulfill and to make up for the updates you missed out on, we return to the wild. Deep forests where predators roam and play a deadly hide and seek with their prey. Lurking in the shadows and undergrowth, waiting for the right target and moment to strike. Some weeks ago, we asked for your assistance regarding the new localizations and to put it bluntly:.
So, if you have an update on your progress or want to join the "localization-club" to contribute, please feel free to fire away Badhunter on Discord. We have other good news also, namely that we stopped letting the valet guy take the pictures for our news updates. Although we failed to deliver on the Marder hidden in the forest request yet, we promise to do better in the upcoming update and a bigger update is also looming on the horizon.
After last weeks ammo-consumption-specialists, we thought things for hauling stuff to places would fit in nicely. This week showing off some tools for people who like a clear and controlled sky or dislike the noise of aircrafts in general. So, if you feel the sudden urge of setting up your very own no-fly zone, look no further. Here are some offers you should consider:.
This week "forest deluxe" or spring is finally here. Before we get to the environmental eye candy, I have two more things I would like to address. The other thing is that I want all of you to take a minute of silence to remember -]T[-krusty who left us earlier this week.
We want you healthy and alive when the remastered version is finally ready. Our apologies for not being right on time with this update, but our real lives had other plans. We hope you had a pleasant may day and these pics help a little with the hang over. So without making many word or a fuzz about it, here are three means of ground or amphibious transportation. After the update on the beloved VRAC, we thought we step things up and move on to the big boats. These three ships offer plenty of ways to reduce team account and enemies alike.
Please get in touch with Badhunter or MorGotH on Discord, if you like to help us out and earn your place in the credits. Before we get into the water, we refrained from showing you, because it would cover nearly half of the new models, a quick reminder: Next Joint-Community-War on 11th of April CET.
So take a look at a shy group of tanks, cautiously exploring their new surroundings in the first warming rays of light, after waking from their hibernation.
The lonely BRDM already playfully chasing butterflies through the woods, marking its territory with its scent. Starting with the Lake LA that represents probably the last small amphibian aircraft of modern times and therefore alone already qualifies for being a classic. These small aircraft are extremely versatile and are able top operate in almost any environmental conditions.
Just the right choice for any fishing trips. Next up is the Leclerc, another example for France and Germany being completely unable to coproduce and engineer any sort of weapon system. Although it features some new design quirks it never lived up to the idea of defeating the US M1 or the German Leopard 2 in combat trials. Pure engine-sound coupled with MGs, grenade launchers the opportunity to fish and bathe in the sun — What more do you need for a relaxing vacation trip?
This time we present you the European top 3, 4th generation fighter from the 90s. Two for the more cost aware Soldner and a more expensive toy, if the team account needs to be zeroed.
If you consider exploring skies keep in mind:. Landing is mandatory! Well, the latter spent almost day and night, giving into his foliage and vegetation obsession, putting even the most militant vegans to shame. Resulting in trees that make even the roughest Soldner feel regret for running one over.
I mean due to their beauty and not because sometimes physic is not on your side. Well, on closer examination and considering the Soldner mindset, I retract that claim the first one :D. Anyhow, since nature also seems to be less silent and static as it used to be in Soldner, we did not only address looks, but ambiance. Disclaimer: Before you ask: Yes, Dr. Perni is able to stand still — but we are saving that for some future update! Disclaimer2: I am totally not abusing this to generate content for this news update — I swear!
Finally and right in the for spring we are proud to present you something haunting me for some time now. An absolutely essential asset, although still not on the vehicles, but reinvented and ready for use.
So without further ado I proudly present you the reworked stuff that keeps almost anything going — the new wheels are finally here:.
To take your mind off the harsh winter conditions, we decided to take you imagination to your favorite lake. Where the lonely Soldner enjoys the warm rays provided by the spring sun, shining through the leafless trees. Taking a sip from his trusted canteen form time to time, his Benelli leaning against a tree stump, while he gets his boat ready for the upcoming hunting season. Before we move on to that we are very happy to announce that we crossed the mark in terms of members here in discord.
Thank you for your interest and support! We are still eager for help with our localization efforts, although we have some sets almost completed. Since Dr. Perni is still on a rampage in the deep forest, we thought ground based means of transportation may turnout being too risky, which led us to flying solutions:. Check the Portal and you will know ;-.
From the depths of the deep blue sea back up to the vast forests of Siberia. That thing is without a doubt their beauty. Our tree-hugger Perni gave them all the love they could possibly need and helped them to new heights. So let me introduce the current "work in progress" countryside:. First of all, we want to thank you for helping us with the localization of the game.
Some of you did an awesome job already, but there are still some languages left we could use your help with. We are back on the ground with a selection of recon and infantry support vehicles, but before we start with our scouts and transports, we have to address an issue already mentioned several times: Localization!
We would like to make this game accessible for as many potential players as possible, but in order to do that we need your help. Our team is working really hard on the remastered version, but we lack time, resources and capabilities to provide the localizations some of you so direly asked for. So if you like to see the game in your language, please contact Badhunter or MorGotH on Discord and we will provide you the files that need translation.
With that said, we move on to our german, russian selection of IFVs the battlefield ubers if you will:. But a direct lift aircraft could come in and save his life. The first Joint Community War in was really fun and we thank for your participation. The first 5th gen.
That said, what would be better suitable in getting us back to Soldner again, than a Joint Community War? In the meantime we found a solution to the still missing wheels on many of the pics we showed to you and it is really astonishing what technology can do these days.
Please welcome the next four vehicles in to our ever growing selection of tools:. To answer the question once and for all: Yes, despite the new look, there is still destruction in the game and it looks and feels better than before. What you will see is a demonstration of the current destruction in game in Dr. Perni "hold my beer"-style. Who, since some of you had a hard time believing us, went on a little rampage.
MorGotH has created an advent calendar over on Discord and posts one new screenshot of the remastered version every day. I will make the images available to you here. Please forgive me if I do not manage to update every day. This time featuring some fan favorites, new assets and watch and behold — wheels.
This week rotary winged stuff from the Rodina. The keep things fair towards the ground vehicles, we refrained from putting any wheels on them, too. Anyway, here is our collection of Russian flying tanks and utility. Not too pricy, easy to maintain and at home in almost any theatre of operations.
Today we are taking a break from showing you the revamped 3d models of guns and vehicles. I was able to pursue our crew into providing you some exclusive peek into the ongoing progress our environmental artists made so far instead. Although there is still a lot to do and everything you see might be subject to change in one way or the other, we wanted you to be able to take a glimpse into what the team is working on atm, besides the obvious 3d models. As you are about to see, Dr. Perni was not only busy planting trees, that was only me being a bit nasty, but instead whole lots of new environmental objects and foliage were created.
These have now been added to the game and the team is currently busy revamping the terrain. Although this work is still in an alpha state, it simply looks too good, to be withheld from you. Before you ask no there is no bear in any of the pictures, only the last two feature a tiger:. The last two pictures are not only work in progress, but have been doctored on my request ;- to give an impression of where we are going in terms of development.
If you look closely the Tiger features different development stages, but you get the impression. Perni is still busy creating and planting trees and stuff, I mean foliage. Meaning we have to stick with updates on new models, but there is a silver line at the horizon… somewhere ;-.
With that said: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our 4 revamped classics of the week:. Save the date! Next Joint Community War - Nov. This week with a collection of fixed wing aircraft for every occasion and environment.
Although not as cute and cuddly as red nose reindeers, the first two jets are very versatile and are able to carry much more presents than any standard sledge. Soldner: Secret Wars includes seven different types of matches to keep your occupation forces occupied. It can be done. Want to do reconnaissance? Want to transport troops and supplies?
Go for it! Best of all, Soldner is completely free! Average Rating: Ratings. DFG is constantly expanding, striving to bring its audience the most entertaining game downloads found on the Internet. Powered by iWin.
