[Action MMO] World of Tanks

[Checkmate]

I think I'll be playing that MMO, the first MMO I seriously consider playing for the first time ever.

About: It's an action MMO (more like fps gameplay), you fight in short battle like counterstrike mode (aka once you dead, play a new match). There's various armor (tank) to choose from, from light to heavy, as well as many type such as tank destroyer or heavy artillery. As you progress you gets bigger, better tank.

Since it's more like fps, and they only have server in U.S and EU, people that is not within the said region are not encouraged to play, due to the possible crazy lag My friends who reside in Vietnam play on North America pretty solid, so I think it might be ok for everyone else. They will add Asian server in the near future though.

Anyone is going to play it?

World of Warcraft Tanks, eh? I've played MMOs before but they all sucked. I hope this one is good. It seems alright. I always did loves armor the most in warfare. I think I'll play this game as well when it comes out since it's free.

It's in closed beta, you can give it a try but beware: all stats are wiped when it hit retail (which is 12 April)

But hey, they said if you participate in beta, there may be gifts when you join retail.

Yes, all MMO up to date, including WoW and [any name here], sucks badly!

lol, you sound like a marketing man. I'll give it a shot sometime.

I'm not marketing, I play all kind of good game, and I think WoT is very decent. Oh, you want to read the guide I posted there ;) so to understand the tactics.

This game isn't about "I getz the best kill ratio you noobs!" unlike counterstrike LOLz

This game is about teamwork, and you get reward (usually bigger reward) for helping your team mate to kill the enemy: spot for your team mate's tank destroyer or arty, flank the heavy enemy, not to kill it, but to distract it, thus your team can kill it while it got distracted - shooting at you and miss you all the time with you running around etc...

Every tanks, even the smallest one, is important and is extremely deadly if used properly. That's how tactics in real life works. Else, they would just make the entire mobile fortress LOLZ.

Mmm, are you still playing this game? Last time I jump the boat to play with you, you left me with a sidewinder addiction to TF2 and never came back.
