Now this a real warfare kinda game.. It's still a beta version, but it looks promissing to become one of the top games of 2004..

It's all about Conquest for this game.. Capture The Flag or Death Match aren't suited for this game if you'd ask me.. Conquest is all about capturing waypoint and maintaining control over them.. Hold them long enough and reduce your opponents points to zero and you've won..

You'll be able to buy rifles, equipement and vehicles.. This you can do by making money.. You'll get money by killing an enemie, by capturing a waypoint or by distributing the teams funds.. The last one can only be done by the Commander of the team..

Buying a good rifle is a thing you must do.. Specially if it's got some sort of scope on it.. That way you can stay a long way from your enemies while killing them at your leisure..

However in the beginning of the game you might not buy to much stuff and get yourself a car in order to race to a far away waypoint and capture it with speed and agility.. You might want to bring a heavily armed friend along which will be able to hold that position till back arrives..

Be aware though.. You and your car are vunerable for any gunfire.. So either drive over the person shooting at you or stay clear of him.. Abandon a vehicle which has suffered a lot of damage before it explodes with you in it..

If you have enough money to buy tanks and helicopters besure to give them a try.. Helicopters are fast and get you from one spot to another in a flash.. Flying them can be difficult though and they are seriously vunerable for gunfire from below.. Tanks are the beasts of the game and can only be taken out by other tanks or rockets.. They have tremdous fire power and can level any structure with a couple of well aimed blasts.. Good for taking out guarded house from a long distance..

I can keep on going on and on about it, but I won't right now.. Mainly because it's still a beta version and not the full.. So some short pointers I won't let you go without.. Active weather: snow, rain, day, night, etc.. Parachuting of cliffs and aircrafts.. For more information surf to Soldner : Secret Wars..

It's going to be a warm summer..
