MMOBomb 1 second ago Armored Warfare
Armored Warfare is a free-to-play multiplayer tank combat simulator from Obsidian. Players have a wide variety of tanks, maps, and game modes to challenge their skills against others. Unlike previous tank-based games, Armored Warfare draws from modern-day vehicles, such as the American M1 Abrams and the Soviet T-80.
Armored Warfare allows players to take part in both PvE scenarios and PvP battles that mix the usual eliminate opponents deathmatches and objective-based co-op and multiplayer modes. Players will take control of their own personal military arsenal and must maintain and upgrade their army. Forging relationships with corporations, contractors, and non-government suppliers allows upgrades to existing tanks along with access to new, more powerful machines and munitions.

As time went on, I managed to crawl up the tiers and trick out a lot of tanks with all the avaliable upgrades and such. I was up to nearly 15,000 games, and it was around this time that I was beginning to pay attention to what the developers (hereafter referred to as devs) were doing to the game. The first thing I noticed was that the community was beginning to degrade into a bunch of whiners and complainers. Every game lost was everyone elses’ fault, that guy wasn’t moving fast enough or didn’t support me enough, or that other tank was afk. The devs did do the right thing, in my opinion, by finally adding the option to disable all chat entirely, but only after the community had complained on the forums for a very long time. I was fine with it. I turned off chat and never turned it on again, and had a number of pleasant games.
Unfortunately, the pleasant games didn’t last. The devs, unable to leave well enough alone, started down the path of failure by listening to the whiners at the expense of the silent majority. The whiners complained about how unfair the arty was, so they practically destroyed that mode of play by using their ridiculous RNG algorithm, which, in essence, replaced skill with a dice roll. As I understand it, the RNG extends to all the tanks. I have shot point blank at a close tank and missed, and I could remember when it didn’t use to be like that. This was particularly irritating to me as the arty was my favorite mode of play. Then the whiners complained about people leaving the game early and, even though I had never detected any difference in play, the devs instituted a warning system. I realized this one time when I was disconnected (a rather common occurance with wot) and, upon re-logging into the game, was greeted with a warning about leaving a game early. I get why they wouldn’t want a player to leave early, but I was dc’d. Seriously, the server can’t detect the difference? But what really got my goat was when I was issued a warning for not moving fast enough. So now my playstyle is being called into question. This was the deal-breaker for me. Time to check out the competition.
Around this time, Armored Warfare was entering the picture as another tank game and I decided to give it a try. And try I did. I downloaded the game and have been playing it to the complete exclusion of WoT. It is a great game, super graphics, nice sound, and lots of things to keep the interest up. You can play pvp, pve, or, recently, Global Ops. My favorite mode of play is PvE, and I have a few thousand games there as well. This game is truly a free to play game, as one does not have to buy garage slots for newly aquired tanks and all tanks, along with upgrades, can be earned with in-game credits. To date, I have not spent any real money on this game. I liked it well enough; I was just waiting for it to become more stable before investing. Crashes to the desktop were too frequent for now. But I assumed the devs would square away that issue soon enough, so I wasn’t worried. But all good things must come to an end, and so it seems that this is the case with AW.
While playing an spg in Armored Warfare, I was hiding behind a rock waiting for a shot. I wasn’t moving. Sixty seconds later (I timed it with a stopwatch) I was greeted with a warning, telling me that if I didn’t change my behavior, I would be kicked. In other words, if I didn’t move. I am in an spg, the sniper of the team, waiting for a shot, and I am told I have to move? Unbelievable. The devs just took a page out of the WoT playbook on how to insult a loyal player. I don’t think that I am overreacting to say that I was insulted. To be treated as though I were AFK when I wasn’t is not going to fly with me. If I am in front of my monitor with my hand on the mouse, I am in the game. Often, I will sit and take a minute or so to assess the situation. I’ve never entered a game and deliberately left, but now, according to this new rule, I am not allowed to sit still for a minute. I am both angered and saddened by this turn of events. I get what they are trying to accomplish, but I don’t agree with how they are implementing it.
The bottom line is this. I am an adult, playing a game by choice, using my own time and money. I am not in the mood to be treated like a child and given unwarranted warnings as though I was late to class and have to go to detention. Warranted warnings, ok. I would accept a legit warning. But warning me to move and kicking me if I don’t move fast enough? Banning me for an hour or so if I accidentally drown or go off a cliff? Sorry, but that is a deal-breaker for me. Personally, I feel that team-killing should be the real bannable offense, with everything else second or third place. When we are talking about a PvE game (and that is the game I am referring to as I don’t play PvP) that only lasts ten minutes or so, is there really an AFK problem? After the thousands of PvE games that I have played, I am going to say no.
In conclusion, I am going to assume a wait-and-see attitude to this game. I want to see how the community reacts to these latest changes and whether or not they will accept them. They are deal-breakers for me, but may not be for others. For all the rest who may not be bothered by these latest rules thrown at the player base, good for you. However, I hope that the devs realize that doing what WoT did is not the way to go. These were the reasons I left WoT in the first place, and I am certainly not going to remain here if they insist on doing the same things.
To the gaming community, I wish you well and many good games. To the devs, please look at what WoT has done in the past, and then do the complete opposite! There are too many other games out there for you to insult legitimate players.
plus, some of the tanks look like they took the turret from a Lowe and welded it onto a Challenger. not cool. also, scroll up and you will notice that tracks on tanks dont sag over the drive wheels like in WoT AND IRL.
anyways, see you on the WOT battlefield,

The real issue lies in the fact that hardly anyone else is playing this game. Want to play 15 vs 15 PvP? Forget it if you're on the North American server, and prepare for some queing if you're on the EU server. It does have a nice PvE mode though.
I'm really enjoying the game. Almost always platoon up with clan mates & have fun, But one of the best things I like about this game is that there's no mods allowed. Everybody is playing on their merits, not using mods to help them because of their lack of skill.
You either like the game or you don't. You don't need to bag it out because you don't like it, It's FTP, So what did you lose? You don't like it? Then just move on..

! I signed up to be a beta tester was told I would get to keep a few special items once open to the public. finally got a chance to download the GIGANTIC 20GB game only to be redirected to http://aw.my.com/us/founders-p...
where they try to charge me money to be a beta tester?
REALLY ? I need to pay you to test it out and tell you where the bugs are!!!
I suggest to everyone forget this game unless you are ready to charge that credit card to the max!
And if you are ready to do that go to a more light weight game World of Tanks! It has been around for a while and we know the company is honest! They might charge a bit to but they don't deceive you. This company is shady right out the gate and the 20GB of data is absolutely ridiculous for the same graphics. Poor programming leads to poor performance. This game is not worth the time or your money
Please, check your data
and credit card balance
why cent buy??????????
my card is ok
