EA said the same thing about bf5 :D

they need more maps for sure. theres 3 now and one set to come out end of next month I heard.
Click to expand...

my guess is there will be at minimum 1 map for each region that will be fought over (if you didn't know you can spin the globe on the menu screen :p ).
 
I am going to play other stuff and revisit this next month. I did get it running better. Just need the game to flesh out a bit more.

developers put out a blog post that explained a lot about what happened with the launch and their plans with patches and what they're doing about cheaters and how to report them.. worth a read if you have the time.

for those that haven't been keeping track of patches here's the first big update patch 1.1.. https://forum.worldwar3.com/index.php?/topic/4742-patch-011-live/

Hey there, after a week of testing on the PTE, we've polished up and fixed most problems we had with the 0.1.1 patch. We've isolated problems with connecting to the game (both menu and matches) and it's much better. If you still have problems connecting, we'll have additional topics with resolutions to them as we find them.

Patch Notes

[KNOWN ISSUES]

  • MGs have wrong ammo caliber displayed in the menu (this does not affect their in-game performance),
  • Weapon customization descriptions still not final & bugged,
  • Sometimes respawning on Warsaw can result in death (press ESC -> Respawn to fix it) - we'll be fixing this tomorrow,
  • Sometimes your profile can reset it's customization - this is a temporary workaround to let people play while we fix corrupting profiles.
[GAMEPLAY]

  • Reworked pistols to make them more varied & useful,
  • Vepr lowest damage reduced from 9 to 7, tresholds max/min reduced to 35/50 meters. MCS damage increased by 1 per pellet at medium/min thresholds, medium threshold moved to 35 meters to match Vepr,

here's the latest patch. which add's team death match (patch .2)

It's here! We've been hard at work for the last two weeks since 0.1, and we've got some big changes for you this time. This is the first of big content patches we've got planned for the upcoming year. It's been a month already, so it's time for new game mode, new map for it, new weapon, vehicle and uniform among other things. We've fixed a lot of bugs and improved the game a lot during this time, and we hope you have fun.

Due to progression being back, all progress has been wiped. We will try to do it as little as possible, but it's inevitable during development.

Patch Notes

[KNOWN ISSUES]

  • We're aware of the vehicle flying issue, we know what causes it and we're working on a patch to be pushed ASAP,
[NEW CONTENT]

  • New gamemode: Team Deathmatch,
  • New map: Warsaw Shopping Mall (TDM only),
  • New weapon: MSBS Bullpup,
  • New vehicle: IFV Boxer,
  • New uniform: Russian Partisan,
  • New vehicle armor: RPG nets for IFV Boxer and IFV Bumerang,
  • New spawn system (TDM only for now!),
[FEATURES]

  • In-game grenade selector (just like gadget),
  • Backend: Progression system (first pass),
  • Thermal scopes (first pass),
  • Backend: Item unlocking,
  • Backend: Server authentication,
  • First tests of the changing day/night system (TDM map only),
[GAMEPLAY]

  • Added Thermal scopes: Medium-magnification scopes (Thor SM, MM) and high-magnification (Odin LM),
  • Added a new assault rifle: MSBS-B. It’s chambered in .300 Blackout giving it better damage than other Western rifles but at the cost of much bigger bullet drop, high damage dropoff and strong kick,
  • Vepr nerfed again with increased recoil,
  • Tor damage reduced, making it only slightly more powerful than the G29. However, due to .50 cal’s AP performance it should deal more damage when hitting the enemy directly into the chest plate,
  • Sniper rifles had their bullet velocities lowered (turns out they were bugged and behaved like hitscan weapons), they should be comparable to ARs now,
  • RPGs nerfed: Reduced blast radious on basic warheads, reduced damage and damage falloff on Frag warheads (this should make them used primarily for weakening and injuring enemies over a larger area and not for killing them with a cheap shot),
  • Adjusted the Frag RPG warhead to make it more easily recognizable (it’s brighter, more gray/brown-ish in colour),
  • New prototype weapon muzzle flashes. They should have slightly better performance and look better, please give us feedback wether or not do they hinder your visibility while shooting. If anything will be off we will be tweaking them,
  • New particle effects for Support Strikes: Artillery, Airstrikes, Carpet Bombings, now it's easier to differentiate which one is being used,
  • Fixed splash damage for >25mm caliber rounds, now splash damage decreases properly with the radius of the explosion ( the further from the center of explosion the lesser the damage),
  • You can no longer vault while reloading,
  • Tweaked spawn locations on all maps,
  • Added optimized light to all TPP muzzle flashes,
  • And more,
[BUGFIXES]

  • Fixed item names and descriptions on popups,
  • Marking should be fixed now,
  • Radar Equipment for UGV works as intended,
  • Mini UGV does not receive decals from the environment,
  • Lance RC turret smoke grenades' shoot properly,
  • T90 turret hatch attaches properly,
  • Proper destruction meshes for Falcon turret optics,
  • Lower attachments count on certain vehicle armors (Anders, Marder, and T72). It should result in a slight performance boost,
  • Fixeds in left hand position on certain handguards,
  • Fixed broken materials on some emblems,
  • Fixed ammo display in customization,
  • Weapon calibers should now display properly,
  • Fixed animations for Glauberyt SMG,
  • Fixed score for punishing players,
  • Destroyed vehicles no longer appear repairable for repair kits users,
  • Fixed antimeterial rifles dealing massive damage to vehicle turrets,
  • Fixed a bug where after first login items were unlocked,
  • Fixed a bug with resetting customization,
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes unlocked items couldn't be equipped,
  • Various chat fixes,
  • Fixed an issue that prevented CPU Performance Boost from being disabled,
  • Fixed assist for marking not working,
  • And more,
[OPTIMIZATION]

  • Reworked muzzle particles to reduce FPS drops when firing,
  • New impact particles,
  • Lowered attachment count on certain vehicle armors,
  • Level streaming improvements,
  • Collision optimizations,
  • Continuous optimization effort on all fronts,
[TWEAKS]

  • Changed "Performance Boost" to "CPU Performance Boost" to better reflect what it's for,
  • Tweaked RPG explosion,
  • Flash hiders are now functional,
  • Added chat window to summary screens,
  • Adjusted blast radii for >25mm rounds to the fixed splash damage values,
  • Anti-Tank mines damage reduced to 600, now 2 mines are required to destroy a vehicle,
  • Improved UGV durability against RPG projectiles: 1 Tandem or 2 Single Stage are enough to destroy a UGV,
  • Reduced smoke grenades uses from 5 to 2,
  • Reduced ricochet chance on >25mm projectiles,
  • TDM summary screen map display name,
  • Reworked armor pricing and masses,
  • Changed P: to L: since we're showing latency to the server, not straight ping,
  • Tweaks to thermal vision postprocess,
  • Menu thumbnails updated,
  • Various animation tweaks (idles, reloads),
  • Matchmaking improvements,
  • Many more minor tweaks and improvements.

haven't really had time to play in a couple weeks, late night NA it's kinda dead which sucks for me since i work grave yard 5 days out of the week so playing on my days off doesn't get to happen much.
 
yeah latest patch is pretty nice, game runs way better. hopefully the numbers keep picking up.

SQUAD
was promised sun moon and stars, interesting sandbox style for play wise, but alas, another where dev/publisher promise much more than actually deliverable at time ( for my cup of taste anyways)

Then there are the BF titles "fully destructible" my ass ..

Interesting, possibly, however until on the shelf (real world) all the teasers and shit be damned, look at Star Citizen as perfect example of such stuff, tease tease tease just to get more $$$$$$$$$$$$$ to piss away.

Like the first pic thought of the Armada or might be a T82 or some crud (like the alien looking turret/glasis

i don't think these developers fall under that, they just got super unlucky that when they launched the game there was a bug in their network code that kept the game from connecting to any of the servers which took them a few days to figure out and they just haven't really recovered after that which is sad because it's a really good game.

im not sure if im allowed to post links here (sry if not) but these are last reviews from official ww3 site:






checked the game out - well, now its awesome (but still many things should be done), runs much smoother, 2 new maps are pretty good! No crashes yet (had like 1 crash every 1h not so long ago)

so do you believe in its success now?

I'm gonna try this again. I liked it at first but it didnt hold my attention due to so many issues.

the bf fully destructible part kinda ruins part of the game I like. for example at e on arras in bfv. the whole cap zone turns into a wide open area if the planes bomb it alot. which for me ruins the fun of that area and look. I love the combat in buildings there, camping the stairs or shooting from windows is fun. and I dont see a problem with camping as long as its done within the flag cap area. I wish the buildings were bigger and more detailed. its part of the game thats missing. I know making the buildings destructible keeps people from camping. but instead of destroying the building. make explosives do more damage to people inside the building. I mean they would anyway IRL because of shrapnel.

Destructable environments have been a huge part of Battlefield for the last decade, and have been notably missing from competing franchises.

I get that those that take a tactical perspective have to respond to said destruction and that changes in environment can be frustrating, but it's part of that type of game.

And I should also take another look at World War 3...
 
It certainly is looking better but the player base still looks tiny. Averaging a few hundred? Not good. I can't understand why they launched in early access. I suppose they couldn't secure money any other way. From the looks of it this game should've released Q4 2019.

Catch-22 for a small developer it looks like to me. Given the appropriate context, doing various developmental pre-releases can likely accelerate development. So long as they don't go full Star Citizen, of course!

yeah like i said earlier the launch issues really hurt them bad. but there were other performance issues with the engine on top of that which limited a lot of people from not being able to play with mid/low end systems. most of that has been ironed out so hopefully people start coming back to the game.
