Poor at Best [Posted on 2004-10-24]
I bought this game hoping that it would be a winner like the Battle Field series, or MOHAA. I was VERY disappointed.. The game claims to have realistic damage and many differnt vehicles/aircraft to fly. While their are many different vehicles, they all act alike.. They are difficult at best to control and the details are horrible. The liflike damage is poor, but you can level a whole town with an Abrams, unlike some other war games. This game is not worth the money, go out and buy a game like the Battlefield series, or the MOHAA series. The only thing good I can say about this game is that I am glad that I only paid 38 for this, instead of it's original 50 price tag.

WOW [Posted on 2004-11-18]
I play alot of PC games - this one blows me away. The detail and amount of weapons and vehic is crazy - the single player mode is kind of simple - but the real fun is playing online (no charge) you team up with people all over the world. I does take some practice to be able to drive and fly without crashing, but it's worth the effort. The programers thought of so many things you can do: drive cars, tanks, APC's jeeps, fly choppers jets planes and even VTOL jets, plant explosives with diffrent types of fuses (motion, time or remote) get a sniper kit with camo that makes you invis. get a commander kit to give orders to your team. swim, skydive. hundreds of weapons. It may be the best game I have ever had.

Nice Game! [Posted on 2005-05-11]
Soldner: Secret wars is a great game. It does require that you have a monster PC to run it smoothly. I recommend having a Pentium 4 with AT LEAST 512 MB of ram to run it smooth. The game runs pretty nice on low video cards so that doesn't really matter what kind of video card you have.

What i love about this games is you can buy every weapon imaginable. The game has over 60 weapons in it. Everything from a revolver with a scope on it, to rocket launchers you've never heard of. Even more exciting, the game allows you to get 70 vehicles (Note that you can get more Cars, jets, and tanks than weapons). You can get the M1 Abrams, or just a tractor if you want cheap transpotation. Multi player may get frustrating, though, because peopole like to "snipe" you before you can buy your gear.

The game allows you to fly in maps with terrain that's over 20 KM large. You can fly a plane for forever and still see trees and hills passing by! The game gives you such freedom to go wherever you want. One of my favorite things to do is skydive from a helicopter into the enimie's base from like a mile high. Single player is a blast, too because your player has to complete little missions (Like capture a person, or destroy a target) And you win vehicles, and weapons to have more fun with. There is also a new expansion pack that includes desert missions. It is called "Marine Corps". It allows you to buy boats, and subs, and other SWEET things! It is not in the US yet. You can order it online, though.

Bottom line: If you like huge games, and have a fast PC, this game is for you! Don't listen to other people who say they hate the game and it is horrible, they probably haven't played more than 5 minutes - and don't know what they are talking about.

the games works fine after the patches have been installed [Posted on 2006-02-10]
thier are alot of bad reviews of this game, i can only say they never updated thier games to the latests patch...soldier has gone though alot of patches to reach a point to were i think its a far better game than Battlefield 2 . the secound addon was free on thier web site...this allowed one to pick up the weapons used on the (expansion pack released in europe..aka soldner marine corps). now solder is next patch which is free will have a bunch of new weapons free....and maps ..THE ONLY PC GAME WITH ***THE B-2 BOMBER**** ...soo get a copy of this game before there gone...there going fast ..you have to play this game on online to enjoy it....the training missions are crap because soldner doesn't have good AI...its is osome online with real people as targets

Great Ideas, Awful Execution [Posted on 2008-07-05]
The sheer number of cool ideas in Soldner make it worth a play but otherwise don't expect to be blown away.

Had this been released with the intended polish it could have made the Battlefield series look like a simpletons flash game. unfortunatelty the ego of the lead dev combined with the tight-fisted publisher made this game still born. The only reason people are able to play this at all is because a few hardcore fans took it upon themselves to sew up many loose ends. They did this on their own dime. While they should be applauded, it DOES make for a sad commentary on the state of PC gaming.

Anyhow, if you can grab this for $10, go for it. There are still several European servers running last I checked. If you can find a stable game running you'll have a blast.
