Played a couple of maps, and the game feels incredibly bland and boring.

I don't get where all the amazing reviews are going with this. How does this game have an "Overwhelmingly Positive" review score?

Yeah, yeah, here come the "you must be stupid, go back to Farmville" comments. Go ahead and get that out of your system is you want, but I'd rather someone just explain to me how this game is so appealing.

I loved Cannon Fodder back in the day, I'm a fan of action games and top-down shooters, but this just feels like a free flash game ported over to Steam. So shallow and grindy. Or is there a whole strategic layer that I'm somehow missing?

This game has so much depth and stragity that ur missin

What is the point of this game? You just seem to join a server, run around for a bit shooting AI chaps until you get shot, its like a poorer version of Cannon Fodder. Am I missing something?

not playing with pals is one thing you could be doing wrong. you can form a stealth squad to do stealth missions behind enemy lines. you can form a tank crew. you can just form together with other people online and work together to take points. i have been in some epic firefights with fellow players besides me. there has been times we were struggling just to hold our line to not be pushed back but after time everyone worked together and executed a great push to grab a cap point... when that happens it feels rewarding because that cap was well deserved and fought hard for(atleast in my opinion)

basically need to work with others instead of just running around. running around with no tactics will just get you killed. i learned the hard way when i first started

just because the game doesnt point out things you can do doesnt mean you cant do them. one of the reasons i like this game is because it just throws you in the middle of battle and your basically left on your own to figure stuff out or can ask players in the server about what to do or for advice in general

You know those little plastic army men you had as a kid (if you weren't deprived)? think of rwr as that digitized. You have a field.. you have men.. but now they come to life. RWR works on your imagination a bit. At least that's what got me into the game.

What's the point of any war game?
RWR isn't so much about your standard rank-up, unlock, perk gaining motivation. It's not even about score. RWR appeals to those with a deep strategic and tactical sense.
RWR is about the gameplay itself. About the battles as they happen, being able to be aware of whats going on around you all the time, adapting, improvising and improving. Personally I constantly check the map, if there are two or more fronts happening and adjust my personal efforts or help to orginize a plan if we need to change our approach to facilitate a link-up of forces on the field, or make a Stealth move around the back with a team.

RWR provides you with all the basics needed for complex warfare, it just comes down to the players to implement them properly. The motivation is the gameplay itself and the firefights as they happen. You literally can't get more Real Time. It's like you play as a sinlge entity in a large RTS game. It is possible to influence the team, and help navigate your teams approach. But instead of it being a matter of issuing commands or using special abilities for whole units, it's about an individuals ability to communicate and work with other real people in real time.

Ok, thanks for your replies. Clearly you chaps love it, but I'm afraid that I don't think its quite the game for me at the mo - I must stop impluse buying lol.

[Mansen]

It's quite litterally 2D battlefield - It's all about capturing and holding points on the map.

if any of your pals happen to get it i suggest maybe giving it another shot. use skype or some voice chat program. me and my buddy played a couple times and it was fun with voice chat.

glad to see someone being reasonable after rushing to buy a game then realizing it may not be their cup of tea. kudos to you sir. i have seen some people that after they decide they do not like this game that it is a bad game overall and that because it has overwhelming positive review that means the reviews were fakes.... lol.

have a good day/night man

It even uses battlefield maps, which I just found out today that Wake Island is a real place http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake_Island

Indeed. Wake Island was part of the Pearl Harbor operation, one of the pivotal engagements of World War II in the Pacific.
