    So is anyone actually playing this? I got the trial, which seems to have a 30 minute time limit.

    Like, 30 minutes total or 30 minutes per playing session?

    I will very likely get the full game come Thursday when I get paid.

    Good News, the game is incredibly successful beyond even my expectations. We have reached server capacity, but the bad news about this now some people can't join unless someone leaves. But don't worry, we are adding more servers ASAP to Xbox and in preparation PS3 that should start going up ASAP with priority on Xbox 360.

    We have also isolated the issue and improving until we have close to 0 packet loss.

    Please keep an eye here for updates.

    Update#1: We are adding new servers, this may cause some disconnection from now until 17:30.

    GvD going on 34 hours of being awake working on this with only 3 hours of sleep from the night before!

    I dunno, I haven't been able to play yet.

    I did try the demo of Rocket Riot, though, and that's pretty rad.

    Man that happened in 42 all the time. Unless you were playing FH, in which case they died.

    What was hilarious is up until like the 1.3 patch if a tank sent you flying in the air you could release your parachute and land safely to the ground.

    But yeah FH was fucking awesome. Too bad about FH2

    Hey tanks arent fucking indestructible anymore! A few good grenades will kill them. That is good. Splash damage on the tank shells needs a bit of work but so far that is the only gay thing I have come across.

    Man, grenades always worked on tanks in vanilla 42.

    Which was funny, because it was a great way of finding people who were new to FH. Watching them throw grenades at your Tiger. And then calling you a hacker for not dying.

    In a comic book style WWII game? Not really.

    The planes handle very well. swooping in and hitting a tank with a bomb is no problem.
