Sldner: Secret Wars - often referred as Soldner, Soeldner, SSW or SMC - is a computer game, developed by Wings Simulations and published in May 2004 by JoWood Productions. The game can be played in first- or third-person. Players can control ground vehicles, planes, VTOLs and helicopters.
The game is made to be played online, with the single-player campaign used for training.
The game and the expansion set Marine Corps were re-released together in North America by Evolved Games (Take2 Interactive) in May 2006, renamed to Semper Fidelis: Marine Corps to avoid previous bad press about Sldner. Marketing text from the original Sldner release was re-cycled with no effort from JoWooD to promote the new release on its own merits.
Marine Corps adds ships and vessels to the game and new maps for desert combat. It also added new vehicles.
All Marine Corps features are usable without the add-on, but new stuff (weapons, vehicles, vessels) is not accessible, but if a player drops weapon or leaves vehicle it can be used by all players.buy Soldner Secret Wars,Soldner Secret Wars cd
The first release came with major bugs causing some reviewers to delay their reviews until the worst bugs were fixed. Wings published many patches although none addressed the core issues plaguing the game.
Sldner was re-released as Sldner: Reloaded in November 2004, repackaged to include the first four patches, but the remaining bugs were still severe.
These problems led to low sales figures and it is rumoured that this was the reason JoWood Productions decided to close Wings Simulations in spring 2005.Soldner Secret Wars serial number, Game development has continued as a community effort under the name Project Zero.Soldner Secret Wars code.
According to earlier statements of Wings, cheating is impossible because of WACHE (German for guard, abbreviation of Wings Anticheat Protection), a system which compares local values of item files with the server's marking all players using modified files as cheaters. Unfortunately, multiple bugs could be exploited to cheat while in game.
Other aspects of gameplay were never realistically developed, such as the flight code.
Project Zero provided their first patch (33668) in February 2006, changing the balance of weapons and trying to encourage more teamplay: some vehicles can only be used by two-players; one as driver, and one as gunner.Soldner Secret Wars keys, The patch also adds a lot of objects (trees and houses) to the maps and expands the range of vision, and this reduced compatibility with older computers.
A week (or two) later, Project Zero reduced the range of vision in patch version 33669), and four weeks after that they announced a patch that corrected some errors occurring in some game modes by changing the spawnpoints (patch version 33670).
Unfortunately, other bugs remain. There are still some terrain glitches allowing players to hide inside item buy boxes or stones.
To match the re-released Semper Fidelis, Soldner was patched to version 33671, in which AGS was changed for North America: it is no longer possible to swear.
On 23 July 2006 version 33672 was released and caused a disaster: Many players were not able to connect to game servers. Some members of Project Zero state that this version had never been tested and was never authorized for release.Soldner Secret Wars store, Differences between team members led to a few members leaving, "Alex (Gagagu) and Albert (Kamikazepapa) left the team". Version 33672 was recalled some hours after release.
