Team based MMO with TANKS. What's not to like?

[candide]

The only thing I don't like is that it's not out yet!

[Janster]

I tried the beta ages ago, it wasn't very good then, but it looks like they have massively upgraded it since then..

[TheWombat]

Looks nifty, though I keep thinking of "historical Tanarus" for some reason.

[MrCoffee]

So where are all the orcs and elves?

Driving the tanks?

Nice. Looks like CounterStrike, but with tanks.

They should've made this a true MMO, where you start out in PvE leveling up by killing rats and snakes. With your tank. Picking up loot, like HE rounds for your main cannon, that was somehow being carried by a grass snake.

[spiffy]

Looks more like mechwarrior with tanks. Sweet.

...is there a healing tank? ;)

[jpinard]

Do you think it has realistic armor and penetration values?

It doesn't seem it from the video. But then, I'm no expert.

This made me immediately think of the Paladin class from WoW.

New rule: If you've named your game "World of" anything, just cancel it. I'm tired of it already, and I haven't even seen it.

[Alan Au]

That video makes me think of a naval action-combat game, but with more interesting scenery.

Exceptions that prove the rule: Tanks & Zombies

So can you get a pet infantry squad?

I would play Tanks Vs. Zombies. Or Plants Vs. Tanks.

[Harkonis]

[schurem]

I wonder if theres a bunch of chinese kids i can hire to grind me down one of these because the end game content is one helluva long slog away!



The game is real fun though. not too hardcore and not too simplistic. just nice. looks nice too.

[Marcin]

Thanks. The site lost my first confirmation code, so maybe this one will take ... I am increasingly interested in this awesome ridiculousness (ridiculous awesomeness?).

Yay, looks like it worked.

[Jason McCullough]

I can't stop laughing at "healing tank."

[The Bitter Cynic]

I think it'd be more fun if it were giant robots.

Healing Tank? <snicker>

[lordkosc]

I got a beta key for this, is it worth trying?

So much other stuff to play :(

Like the world needs another MMO.

[Angie Gallant]

"Ramming attacks are an essential part of World of Tanks gameplay, along with casual fighting elements." Ramming is the only way I do vehicle combat, so I am in.

I'm getting ready to launch the game for the first time as I type, but the premise seems pretty unique to simply label it "another MMO" as if it is just a run of the mill diku.

[ThornFalconeye]

So far its ok- not good enough to be a MMO, but id buy it if it were microtransactiony or a single purchase, tanks are fun to use.

[Adree]

I think between this and APB we need to take the term MMO back.

[kerzain]

Dibs on naming my character/tank "Shawn Timothy Nelson".

Agreed. It has been quite fun so far (after the first hour) and it looks to have a decent amount of depth in customization.
