ignore
spraying isnt as effective as tapping the shoot button a few times, more accurate I find than jamming down on the button... must get round to playing this!

What servers is everyone playing on, i've got 2 mins of DLing left
You'll be lucky to get playing online, the "beta" is plagued with bugs, some people cant install, others can install but not connect to the online component. I was able to play last night but today it just says unable to connect. Their forum is flooded with posts about weird errors in connecting and so far theyve not responded.

No problems at all, been playing for the past hour
Some screens:
Now that I've had a day to play I've warmed to it slightly. It's not perfect, but then what is?
Still, the weapon balance issues are pathetic, I find myself using bolt action rifles because I like the idea of them, when in reality a semi auto rifle is much more deadly.
Spawn points are illogical, sometimes I spawn, move 3 feet and an enemy spawns in the same spot I just did (not on free for all either).
The hardcore situation is terrible, there is no filter for hardcore servers. At first I couldn't understand how they could do this, then I realised it is because it would make bugger all difference. When you start a server you get to chose the damage model, health ranges from miniscule, half, normal and double, with different rates of regeneration. This means "hardcore" servers can in fact be core servers without the HUD, and core servers can be hardcore with a HUD, making it near impossible to find a game that is right for you.
It's no CoD4, but it will do.

You are very kind sir. I don't need it, but whoever takes it, let others know to avoid disappointment 
My thoughts exactly. Stick that sight on a Garand with double tap or the 2 penetration perks and your laughing.
Same thing for silencers, no need for them.
Looks very pretty when you blow half of some ones arm off with a shotgun.
But the weapons are sooooo unbalanced, i want 1 shot kills to the head with the bolt actions with out having to ramp it up with umpteen perks.
May get this for single player, but for WWII multiplay, dont think you can beat CoD:UO
Complaining about realism and yet you play CoD:UO?! (Ex-CoD1 player who didnt like UO here
) You can always play in hardcore mode.

You can always play in hardcore mode.
Havent played UO since last year though, not on my new pc.
Played lots of UO with the Clan though, far to much in the end to the point i hate S&D, didnt like CoD2, maps were dire and far to small for the pc.
Found a hard core server last night much better, no UAV and other bits turned off. Still wasnt right. Have to see what the big maps are like and if they favour the rifler, otherwise i can see multiplay just being a machine gunners game.
I miss Hurtgen, Breacourt and Bocage.
I got sent a key, I don't need it, so here it is
7S37-4EMX-4M9W-JEXW-4553
