Over The Top: WWI

Great game but has some horrible bugs. Latest one i have been getting killed by the server whenever a point i am on is contested.

Defended the same map 5 times, won every time with progressively crazy trenches. Building is actually fun and gives you as much if not more points than getting kills. Nice.

what a great concept for a game and I want to express that I hope the game can be saved before you read my below list of reasons I have stopped playing. - attack / defense maps where the defenders cannot flank. You receive a return to battleground alert when not even close to the edge of map, you can watch the attackers in front of you but cannot actual flank or reach them until they come to you. This then creates lanes of traffic where the fighting takes place, not a full map of battle. Tactics are not allowed on certain maps because it feels that the devs what you to play it a certain way. This mean death by a 1000 paper cuts in some matches as the aggressor has one attack style and the defender has no means of being creative to out maneuver the attackers. No fighting behind enemy lines, no flanking tactics, no creative counter attacks. - hit boxes, enough said. I've been told that its ww1 so guns were inaccurate... Ahh the old 'its a feature not a bug' crap I used to deal with on escape from tarkov updates lol. - delay in command responses trigger pulls etc, enough said - want to peak a shot while in a trench, good luck as you slide and glitch and otherwise are driven crazy with micro movements as you try and aim, so you lift up higher out of the trench to try and fix it and ill give you one guess what happens...... your head is blown off.... while your still glitching may I add. - buggy laggy respawns, a few months in and we still have bugs that spawn you through the ground, or selecting a spawn, have the time it doesnt take when you click where you want to respawn or it will but nothing will happen and you have to go back into the map and try again. - no unit comms, half the remaining player base does not voip and have no intentions to but there are no other forms of communication available. I personally dont care about hats or skins for guns, I care about game mechanics and tight coms to actually play as a cohesive 100 man team. See hell let loose, not a triple A studio but they have comms down tight, I'm not comparing but I'm saying it is so important for the games life span. So unfortunately we have a game that at first was fun and had so much potential that then became frustrating and now is just a weird royal rumble of nonsense with all the bugs and we don't have comms to fix team comp and tactics! - - unlimited rifle / engi positions with extremely low numbers of (fun player types) think 2 light machine gunners for 100 man team. -no progression caps on important roles. Anyone can grab officer, machine gunner / mortar roles at the start and ruin the match for the whole team with a lack of experience or just plain grieving. - Cheating going on, players switch sides mid match, destroy spawns or place them in terrible locations, damage or destroy defenses etc then switch back. One sided teams, no recap or view of who shot you. - snow covered maps, cannot see who is on your team or not due to the small circle above their head being obstructed by the blinding white ground cover. cannot see you own sights as the sights aiming down barrel are also the same color white..... genius. Night time maps are better than snow maps but I cant tell you how refreshing it is to finally get a map where you can see. - no private coms for officers on the team to actually communicate - empty servers but no skirmish maps of 25 players per team on smaller maps - There is no balance in teams, as mentioned above but this directly relates to the games longevity, I am not going to sit on a 100 man team and slowly loose every map knowing there is no option or balancing available in between maps. I just log off and move on. - no rewards or reason to carry on, you purchase the guns / clothing etc you want with points from playing. Nothing is unlocked, no progression. Again it plays to the games longevity. I will admit that maybe I want more of this game than it can deliver due to a small dev team / limited funding. Its just hard to see such a great game idea slowly fading. Servers are struggling and its hard to watch. I think if even a small number of the above issues or suggestions are worked on it will bring back alot of the original player base. And keep them. It would be nice if steam revamped the recommend system and allowed us to grade out of 10. I think if you just want to have some fun for a few hrs then this is a solid 8 out of 10. If you want any more from the game then you will be very disappointed. I will be suprised if the devs are able to complete the road map before the game dies. I hope they can and ill be the first to remove my review if they are able to improve.

It's absolute chaos and not in the fun way. Every so often, you get a good match and it feels fun. But every other match you are dying nonstop, your teammates are micspamming or griefing, and then you just win or lose by inches. Teamwork seems nonexistent yet there will be little groups running around and just those groups alone will determine outcome. One side has better weapons than the others. I don't understand whats up with vehicles, but a large tank rolls in from the enemy side and constantly obliterates despite hundreds of grenades and men falling upon it. The maps are cool in how huge they are and the teams are massive, yet it all means nothing when you're just digging tunnels or catching bullets from 50+ meters away at all times.

GAME %100 SUCKS ONE PERSON PER MOST CLASS VERY LAME

Start in a field. End in trench hell. Great WWI shooter. Fast paced 30 minute battles where trench digging and spawn placement decide the winner more than guns. Battlefield/Battlefront vibes with super simple basebuilding give you wild 200 player battle experiences.

Lots of fun! -Matches are fast paced and chaotic! -The building and digging trenches makes the gameplay more unique and varied. -Devs are updating the game constantly Absolutely recommended!
