SOLDNER: Secret Wars Ships to Retail heralds the North American availability
of Wings Simulations' first-person shooter:
Los Angeles, CA - June 22, 2004 - Encore, a majority-owned subsidiary of Navarre Corporation (NASDAQ: NAVR) and Austria-based JoWooD Productions Software AG, today announced that Soldner™: Secret Wars has shipped to retail stores in North America.
Featuring fully destructible 3D environments, traditional multiplayer FPS players will find their tactics sorely tested in Soldner; buildings can be reduced to rubble by missile or cannon attack, a series of well-placed C4 charges, or even by having a tank dropped on it from helicopter. With the available Commander Kit, an elected squad leader can access an overhead view of the total map in Commander Mode, identify and designate enemy targets to his team, and a well placed volley of ordinance reduces the area and (targets) to kindling.
Developed by Wings Simulations, this team based tactical FPS pits up to 32 online mercenaries against each other on a virtual battlefield measuring over 18 million square miles (in scale), created using actual satellite topography. Players will have access to a lethal arsenal of over 60 personal weapons incorporating handguns, automatic rifles, sniper rifles and launchers, all based on current military technology. Teams will also have access to over 70 assault and transport vehicles, including helicopters, jets, trucks and tanks.

I was hoping this title was going to leapfrog OFP in terms of the improved graphics and environment interaction, but sadly it turned out to be the frog's ass.
Also, Operation Flashpoint 1.92 with ECP mod - awesome!
For those who like the game:
The one who smelled it, dealt it!

This sucks cause I said so....bla bla bla.
Bunch of whiners.
Works great on my machine and I don't have a very new machine. Update your drivers and settle down.
Geez. Just wait until that one game comes out...can't think of the name right now...you know, that game that that has been in dev for upteen millions years and isn't done yet....oh yeah, HL2. I can't imagine what you are all going to say about that.

well it sounds like this game really sucks as... I'm glad the UT2k4 mod community is going nuts. Now lets hope FragOps gets significantly better (tried the inital release and it looked about as bad as coutner-strike... for a game that's nearly 5 years old that's bad).
Happy Everyone.

I had a real problem with the sniping, after about two minutes of owning a enemy spawn because of no wavering or need of leading hit my target I uninstalled.
Oh, and the 3rd person was a dumb idea. All I ever see now is my team hiding behind cover trying to sneak a peek at some enemy movement while the enemy team does the exact same thing.

Not the US Release, but the Euro release, And all the reviews state the same = It was the same as the Demo (second demo with patch)
Because the released game had EXACTLY THE SAME ERRORS as the demo.
so you've played the final release....

@28.
Because the released game had EXACTLY THE SAME ERRORS as the demo.
The concept of a demo is to SHOWCASE the FINAL PRODUCT.
THUS; Any negative comments based on the DEMO are VALID.
Its up to WINGS/JOWOOD to release a NEW DEMO if there have been any advances done with the title.
All the reviews are based on the FINAL Version. If You check the reviews you will notice that they all AGREE with what the comments in this forum are - IT SUCKS => Low Review Rating. (Although they could have written more.. but its not up to customers to 'beta test' the game free of charge.. although they could do that, to get a better game, but that demands the attention and comitment from their developers, as well as communication.. something lacking with Soldner).
I want a new demo, I want to play Söldner.. JoWood/Wings... you know what to do.

so after this blog was posted I started looking for reviews... ok, none yet.
so I started checking the forum here to see what people were saying, and I realized something strikingly pathetic about most of the posts... they are absolutely useless.
everybody who posted a "it sucked" message should go back and delete it. you offer nothing to this site or to the people who are reading. the only good post was by "instant" talking about SPECIFIC problems. if you don't understand the simplicity behind "teut"'s message of "tell us specific problems" then you are totally useless.
now, I don't condone anybody trying to get the gaming community to pay $50 for a piece of betaware, but (as my mom always said) if you can't say anything nice... don't say anything at all. Better yet, if you can say anything constructive, then shut the F$#$ up.
Moreover, who has even played the final release? everybody is talking about the demo here, so explain to me how saying "this game sucks" is supposed to reflect your educated opinion about a product you have played?!

"Söldner est un ratage total"

"DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME" Is the end summary :-)

@Sly Edit: or @Sty 
Whatever =)
Typing from work, on a non-english keyboard, can do that to TURRETS.
Torrents perhaps.

And the game was originally designed for 3rd person. They put in 1st person at commmunity request. That's why it feels weird.
Yeah I heard that too. Whatever the reason it’s now in the game so it should work. Why they'd want to make it 3rd person only I have no idea. The camera's so messed up it's even harder to fire indoors out of a window for instance in third person. Again, Flashpoint managed both views so there’s no excuse

- Issues with turrents on choppers bugged, so you can use them (heard it was fixed in patch)
LOL Haven't heard that since Tribes 1. It's TURRET ya boob.

You know selling dlc before you patch the client doesn't impress upon me the need to support your shit. -massdev
Biggest problem for me was the first person view, movement and weapons feeling incredibly awkward, clumsy, cumbersome and damn right shonky. I can play Half Life and Unreal games smoother with my feet.
The vehicles feel rubbish too, barely interacting with the ground with no proper momentum and set off violent explosions by just tapping the buildings at very low speeds. The spawn map interface, and game in general for that matter, looks like it’s been scaled up from 320 x 200, and the colours all clash.
Considering how superior Flashpoint was 3 years ago, and its sequel is according to Codemasters (http://www.gamegossip.com//comment.php?id=8328 ) going to be out before then end of the year I’d say Soldner’s sadly ( I really wanted to like it ) doomed.

you get the award for the most irrelevant quote!
good job!

Just want to mention that Söldner has the potential to be a REALLY Good game.. but that requires more dedication from the Wings, more communication, a new demo, and a HUGE bugfix.
This flawed release WILL cost you.

i have to admit i was suckered by the "yes we are concerned please tell us your problems" pretension put forth by Teut and others, but it has become increasingly clear that such a front is nothing more than a lame attempt at salvaging "face"... its really rather pathetic.
I also dont think we need to see anymore posts about how the publisher was the reason this game is unfinished because we should all be able to see by now that there is a MOUNTAIN of work left to do on this game before it becomes remotely playable for the average gamer.
