Play Battleground Europe with Matrix Staff and Fans! (For Free)

[gnasche]

Hey, admins. As you know, this game being Player vs Player generates a lot of antagonism between sides (Axis and Allies). Any chance you could edit the news post on your main page to first include a balanced description of the 14-day trial before mentioning the "Play Allied" weekend? Arguments get pretty heated (and have today) on the forums when players feel there is an official promotion or game change which favors one side over the other. Thanks for reading.

I have had an acount thier since just before it came out, I was in the last groupe of beta testers, it is a fun game, and I play it for a month or so and take a break and come back to it, they are constantly improving it, one of the things I like best about it.

Hey Brady,

I tried to link up with the Matrix group over the weekend and had no luck. Whenever I tried to ask how to link up on the 79 channel, I never received a reply. From what I saw of the game, it looked amazing, but my experience playing was an odyssey of misery. I was killed twice and MIA once.[:(]

Bring up cursor with ALT..select empty channel..f5..select Custom and type in 79, hit enter. Get with a group makes it more fun. If in game, you can tune my ID, but selecting Custom and typing hardcase and hitting enter. Keep trying, it gets easier the more you die

ORIGINAL: Tankerace

Well, I gave it a whirl, got 1 kill with a Lee Enfield, augered a Hurricane, and pushed around a 2pdr to the ends of the earth. And about 5 minutes ago, while pushing a 2pdr around, I saw David (Matrix01). So I got him to stand still for a nice picture (see below). Hehehehehe.

OK...that is pretty bloody funny

Manning a well hidden AT gun is a blast (at least it was in the previous incarnation of the game)...of course you have to wait for the enemy to come to you [:)]

Well, the weekend is over but the trial lives on.

I have this to say about my experience: Oh... my ears! If I had to pick one thing BGE does best it is the sound effects. If you are in a large battle you hear gunshots all around you, tank fire from distant hills (hopefully) the woosh and riccochet of bullets as they fly past your helmet, bombs dropping, plane engines, air raid sirens.... and it is all directional... so you can turn your soldier head when you hear a gunshot and have a good idea of where it came from.

On the brighest note. There I was slowly creeping up on a German town that wasn't expecting our allied attack. I made it into a small protected area around a tree. I happened to look to my right and what did I see, another person doing the exact same thing as me but in the other direction! A german not 3 ft away from me... and he doesn't see me! I take aim and blast his helmet... and that was my first kill

On the note that we are Allied Propegandists and taking sides:

The decision for ALLIES only was made because the chat channel, 79, would only work if everyone is on the same side. The reason we picked allies over germans had nothing to do with politics but actually had to do with the fact the Allies were losing and needed people Sorry if that decision bothered anyone and that it wasn't explained...
