Heroes & Generals

[TheCommandTent]

I have had this problem as well.  I looked through their forums and it looks like we are not alone.  It is a known issue they are still trying to resolve.  So far the only fix is to keep refreshing the page and logging in until it goes through.  Very annoying but it eventually does work.

I have been having to refresh and re-log in as well to join the war.  It seems like the server is down for maintenance right now.  I've noticed a lot of lag when there are many units available as spawn slots for each side.

I like the concept of this one.

Commanders move units in a persistent world via PC or iOS app.
Then confrontations are set up FPS players to join.
Types of units engaged determine the classes / units and spawn count of the FPS match.

Anyone else heard about this game.  I just stumbled on it today.

Heroes & Generals is a Massive Online FPS with a Strategic Multiplayer Campaign, taking place in the European theater of war during WWII. 'Heroes' refer to the players engaged in the FPS-part of the game and 'Generals' refer to the players managing the resources and commanding Assault Teams (army units) in the Strategy-part of the game.

They also have a pre-beta video up

It looks like an interesting game, kind of like WWII Online but with better graphics.  It looks like it will be a F2P model with in-game credits to purchase or earn that you can use to upgrade weapons, characters etc.  They also have their own version of Kickstarter where you can buy 'War Bonds' during development and once the game is launched you will earn the interest off of those bonds in the form of game credits.

Until I know more I won't pony up for anything but I will definitely be keeping my eye on this one.

It's perfect: the game is marketted (like WWII Online and Iron Front) by showing how well those typical
german weapons will do in the game.  So there will be lots of bungling characters on the jerry side
and for a few months I'll get to do feats of daring against them.  Then I will get bored and/or jerry
will learn to play.
