World of Tanks releases new gameplay video

if you drop the "rpg" part and if it's done properly it could be fun. it will completely depend on how well it's executed imo.

YES!!! YES!!! I'm having a huge problem with it. It's a really dumb idea. And no infantry. OK ... how many wars faught over the last 3 million years were not faught with foot soldiers. This is a stupid idea for a MMO. It will fail because no one will want to play unless its free and even then....I doubt it.

For starters, it *is* free to play. Secondly, it's not an mmorpg.

The closest it comes to an RPG is that it has upgrade and research for your tanks, but there's no storyline, it's really a mmotps.

It's featured on Massively because it is a massively multiplayer game, but even then it's really just a multiplayer game with massively integrated chat. You play battles with 32 tanks. It's more a strategy game than a shooter, you really need to use your head and play as a team and to the strengths of your tank (scout, heavy, sniper) more like chess or you'll be annihilated quickly.

Since its not an mmoRPG, I have no problem with it. In fact I've been looking forward to something like this since I played Red Orchestra and participated in Iron Crescendo.

While a Venn diagram might show little overlap between existing mmorpg players and people looking for a good multi-player tank game that doesn't mean there isn't interest or an audience for this game.

WoW bash. How original.

No, I was talking about Everquest, no make that Warhammer, no make that Guildwars, etc etc etc.

I could easily quit ALL other MMO's for this game.

Tiered battles are being introduced in the next several weeks. This will separate the standard battles into levels keeping this from happening.
