How did you Discover Soldat?
« on: July 25, 2006, 06:26:32 pm »
Like the topic says, "How did you Discover Soldat?"

I was on a games/hardware forum back in March '05, and someone put a topic on this game, had pictures and the download links. I saw the pictures, and said to myself "This game is going to kick ass". Let's just say I was never dissapointed. It was like love at first sight :D :-[

I've showed it to several friends who can appreciate gaming with placing face value, and they have played too.

My college Media Block System Admin/teacher showed me it. At first I thought- pff, just anougher shareware game that will get boring after 15 mins. I was bored one day and decided to downloaded it.

I read about it in a magazine called Gamer Informer. It was talking about the best games you can get free online

Someone was talking about it on VGDC last year, and I didn't think much of it. I decided to start playing it about 4 months ago. Now I'm hooked. ^_^

I was in a lan party and someone said, "Hey,let's play this!"

That was just a few days ago, but I don't expect to leave this game for a loooooooooong time.

A friend of me complained about me not having CS, and I said my computer was too bad to play anything like that, and then he told me to download soldat, and I did... and I've been playing for a good while now. A year, I think.
Still, I enjoy it as much now as I did then. Probably more now.
Thanks Zegovia for the badass avatar!

Computer magazine (APC, I think) marked it as one of the best free games, and was put on a CD when it was 1.0.5b. When I got the internet on my own computer, lo' and behold, it had become Soldat 1.2, and thats when I played most, although 1.0.5b with bots was fairly fun too, and I probably took about one hour off every day to play it.

I was at my friends house back in early '05 and we were like bored.

I googled freeware multiplayer shooter (I was hoping for something like halo2 on xbox live).
I got a list of games, then saw soldat. I decided it had an interesting name and decided to try it.
It is kinda sad though, my first soldat experience was on my pentium 2 laptop with 4 megs of video ram and 128 ram.
