Navy Field Game?
 

Hi all,

one of my ooold friends from high school, whose encyclopaedic knowledge of WWII and all around it would put Anlushac to shame (sorry dude :-) pointed out this game to me:

http://www.navyfield.com

I'm downloading the client as we speak; it looks like an intriguing, more tactics-heavy game than the live FPS FH is. My friend is a huge expert on the Pacific war, and apparently found this pretty amazing, so I thought I'd pass it on to the crowd here.

On another note, not at all related to WWII, I started playing http://www.urbandead.com which is an utterly fantastic waste of time when you're on a laptop or slow network. Enjoy!

I played this game for a long time and I'll suggest one thing. Dont.

All it will do is frustrate and annoy you in the end because the relentless experience grind after lvl 15. Its very addictive which is why some people still play it but I and many of the BFE guys who used to play it stopped and things have only gotten better.

The best analogy I've heard is its like heroin without the benefits.

It is pretty historically correct in ships and armament but the overall gameplay leaves alot to be desired after a couple of days.

Its boring as hell after a while.

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

It's a fun game, though I stopped playing it after it was hacked.

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

Aye,once you get your lvl 15 ship It gets beyond boring. Worse then EQ used to be at high lvls. I would play for awhile, but know it goes to the toliet quickly once you are thrown into games against CA,CL,CV and BBs
They will all destroy you(like real life...but this is a game and that makes it angering) I wish i could have a CV though, dive bombing looks fun

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

Yeah, um, I couldn't get past the tutorial.

DO you know how to zoom out and move to other parts of the ocean?

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

well, this game is still free. It goes retail in december, and the EXP gain and such will be increased substantially for faster lvling. Also, you get great satisfaction of Torpedoing a CA and taking it down while in a fletcher...fun!

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

Looks interesting, might just be worth a look.

Re: Navy Field Game?

This game my have its rights bought by the US Navy according to an announcement on their forums.

I've just signed up to Urban Dead as a corpse. gurgle

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

Now why would you go and say that?

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

Because I think it's kind of funny/cool that a guy who's a history professor specialized in the Pacific theater, and who wrote his PhD on Samuel Eliot Morison, and who has the most incredible collection of WWII naval (and other) military literature I've ever seen, is playing a fairly silly-looking (although apparently pretty cool) WWII naval MMOG and is absolutely taken by it :-)

Re: Navy Field Game?
 

I find it funny because Navyfield is unrealistic.. and the tactics are rush over to the enemy and shoot. The brits are unbalanced.. and yeah.

Even tho i still play this and have been for 11months this game is far from 100% realism...
