The
Official SÖLDNER: Secret Wars Website now offers downloads of a new beta
patch to update Wings Simulations first-person shooter to version 30770. The
change list has details on what's new in the update, which carries this
warning: "The beta update includes all previous changes. You only need to
install beta patch v30770. If you have any kind of mods installed, please remove
them before installing the update otherwise Soldner's Anti Cheat Tool WACHE will
take actions." Additionally, there is an accompanying updated dedicated server.
Yeah, unless they've improved it a thousandfold since launch, you should pretty much disregard the existence of singleplayer in Soldner. Just pretend it doesn't exist. Some of the worst AI I've ever seen; we're talking tanks that actually couldn't fire their turrets and would have to run you down in order to kill you. Stuff like that. Bad times.
The game really does have many great features and ideas. I would definitely look foward to a sequel if Wings can get the funding and time to do it properly next time.

"Both the “left” and the “right” pretend they have the answer, but they are mere flippers on the same thalidomide baby, and the truth is that neither side has a clue."
If ever a game was in need of multiple and drastic patches, it was Soldner at launch. Has anyone played it recently? Are there more than like 200 people online at a time? Did it ever become any fun to play?
