Heroes & Generals
Heroes and Generals is a free to play 3D MMOFPS developed by Roto-Moto and set in WWII . Unlike traditional lobby based shooters, Battles fought within Heroes and Generals contribute towards a persistent overworld based on real areas of Europe during WWII. High ranking players acting as "generals" command various assault teams towards key objective locations within the overworld. Once an assault team has been moved into place a mission is spawned allowing players to join that mission.
Depending on what type of assault team was sent into a mission, players of each faction will have varied amounts of respawns, class types and vehicles available to them. As the battle progresses both factions respective generals can command more teams to reinforce those currently engaged in the mission, giving them extra respawns access to vehicles and more. This allows a battle to wage back in forth on both the strategic and ground level.
Players will have the ability to create their own character and progress towards a specialization including Rifleman, Sniper, Tank Commander, Fighter Pilot and more. Players can also outfit their character with new clothing as they gain experience, allowing them to show off their rank.

It's even more amazing when you play at 2K Resolution, and above. Simply beautiful, and immerse.
I've already played this game for 2,770 hours. : )
Have Fun
Now I am experiencing a blank, black screen when I try and start up the game. Which is interesting. I didn't have this problem until AFTER I cleared (deleted...because I was instructed to by the Steam "HELP" menu) some sort of a cache file. I think that's when the black start-up screen problem started.
Does ANYONE know how to fix this problem? I looked it up online...and followed two different so-called "fixes" that didn't "fix" anything.
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyway...getting back to Heros & Generals, I can say that I enjoy the game to a certain point. Mainly because I love this sort of game play and the era...i.e., World War II and the weapons etc. But this game definitely seems designed to suck your wallet dry. That is, if you want to have GOOD weapons right away. I admit...and yes, you can all lambaste me if you want...but I have spent WAY TOO MUCH money on this game...probably close to $300.00 @#$%ing dollars! And that didn't even dent my entire tri-angle of factions with all the best weapons and gear and fun stuff.
I understand that the developers are trying to make money so that they can continue to upgrade the game...and pay their mortgages and other bankster loans etc., but boy oh boy...this game can definitely suck your bank account dry pretty damned fast. That's for sure!
Overall disappointed about the developers and sad about the amount of time i put in into the game.
PS. You are not allowed to say a game is still in BETA after 3 years !
Tanks are fun but sometime balance is broken where one team has a load of tanks and the other does not have enough to put the hurt on them.
Aircraft play is the most laggy in my experience but i need to re-visit.
The one odd thing is they use server-side hit detection, unlike most other onliners, so you need to consider leading your target.
USA infantry does ~feel~ weaker than Russian + German (moreso USA v Russian) but i probably just suck :).. never played as the other countries to know for certain.
Don't believe all the insta-haters posting here - if you like WWII shooters you will enjoy this most of the time.
BAD GAME.....BAD FOLKS
I love that It is available on steam as much as playing the game only requires downloading a plugin.
I normally don't rate the game by it's graphics, but they are really good.
I find it very fun to play, even on the most difficult matches(with this I mean that almost in every match the germans are winning)you can always find plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained, for example, yolo-style suicide jeep attacks right in the enemy points with few buddies always get me(even more if we actually capture the point).
Also note that the beatiful graphics also come with possible lag, but since my computer is really good with fair connection, I didn't find any lag issues.
My rate for the game is 8.5/10, if the devs could work up a little on the balance between germany and u.s., I would give it a straight 10/10.
cool graphics... in all good for a beta.
Uninstalled it within 30 minutes.
4 other players online. The worst lag I've ever experienced (my computer plays everything else fine). Just not good enough for a game I was excited to play as I love WW2 FPS.
Really disappointed and relieved that it was free!
The GM= Gernans are OP most the time with the MG42 and panzers that just MG you everywhere you go. Its entirely dependent on if some of your side has tanks or planes too and the spawns given to the sides are not equal to begin with on maps many times. The scopes are blurry at a distance and scope technology was well advanced of what they have in this game. Now try sniping you need a recon player that is dependent on its position being available I think related to tanks. Very few snipers allowed. Changing players mid stream or loadouts is fucked due to that feature. Plus many bugs in game. It can be fun but almost too much work to bother playing unless you enjoy having your team stomped 10-15 times in a row often as a US player.
A lot of people find something better to play. This could have been a great FPS but being an F2P and constantly messed up by the inequalities it sucks ass.
spend 2k on a rig = 25 fps at best,,,
like playing minecraft when it first came out
ridiculously poor coding
my requarments are :-
Hp-pavalion dv6 laptop
Intel i5
ITRNL GPU - IntelHD4000
Extrnl GPU -Nvidia 630m 2gb
ram-4 gb
2.5 ghz
64 bit,OS; windows 7 home premium SP1
and my inter net is 1mbps ,that would be ,Download speed is 150-180 KB per second.
:) any help would do.
thanx in advance
laptops having gfx issues;
If it uses nvidia gfx make sure the laptop is NOT using in board gfx. The is a forum thread on this on HnG official forums.
Being a browser based game;
The game is in two parts. The Generals uses shock wave to run the campaign map. The heroes part is launched from a plugin and requires downloading.
So in reference to the above post; yes I know what a browser game is, reading all of the information before commenting will avoid the implications arisin from making assumptions.
To everyone, a new build was released recently addressing a lot of issues and working towards a more finished project. Several community suggested items have been added such as tiered matchmaking. Go check it out!
The Generals part is browser based, using a flash plugin to run and campaign map and move your units.
The Heroes part is launched via the browser but the actual fps requires you to download and install the game. To have a game with the detail and content of HnG soley on browser would be near impossible.
Asc;
Promo codes are on some sites. When you set up your accout you can use the code to get an amount of gold. I believe pc gamer did one a while back.
1 its probably your inferior american shitty internet making it lag..
2 its free - you didn't spend a dime so shut the butt-hole on your face and stop farting on this comment section unless you have something constructive to say like "maybe the US of amurika should get more domestic servers for testing so less nubs will whine"
3 ITS IN TESTING PHASES. HAVE ANY OF YOU EVER PLAYED A BETA VERSION OF ANYTHING?.
You can't move the server close to you, so even a $10k machine won't get past the lag if it can't communicate to the server. Potentially a good game, if they work out the communication issues.
Also lag = latency issues, fps drops are more hardware. So stating your rig when your complaining of lag issues is mostly redundant.
If your playing from the US the player base is not as large as the EU player base yet so most games are not hosted on domestic servers for the US players, which produces worse latencies for them.
So can you please compare like with like, find another early open beta game (open Beta's that are just glorified tech demo's) and compare this to that, not fully released games from powerhouse developers.
PLEASE FIX NOW!!!! LAG IS TERRIBLE!!!
