Talking about WWIIOL:BE. It exist for almost 7 years and still have a regular playerbase wich loves realism and is not falling for scripted crap games like COD where you can kill a tank with a rifle or one grenade. The fact you say you couldn't get a vehicle to work without multicrewing is utter bull. This proofs you never had the patience to master the game! Go back to Bunny Hopping counterstrike shooters or go play BF2 where you can be king of the Hill with your Killstreaks and healthpacks! If you want to critizise, no problem but keep to the facts and speak for yourself.
You mentioned crappy "scripted" games like COD where you can kill a tank with a rifle and one grenade. Umm... are you actually a current player of WWIIOL because you can obtain the same results of "crappy scripted COD" with rifles and grenades in marvelous, long living and extremely popular MMOG that is WWIIOL.
Oh, tell everyone here how long it took WWIIOL to make grenades bounce? 5 1/2 years to get grenades to stop exploding on impact and use the most absurd physics to make them stick to the ground before blowing up? 5 1/2 years... That's some neat game there.
