I've been on these forums for a while and I've noticed a lot of people know eachother and stuff. I was wondering, how far does Soldat go? I mean, who was here first besides Michal? Also, how did you find out about Soldat? I guess this is a dumb thread... I just want to know! :P

I found out about Soldat from my friend Michael. We paintball together and he said something about Soldat. I said, "That sound boring...", but I checked it out one day because I was bored. When I started playing. I was like, "WOW!", I almost peed my pants it was so fun. Even though I was losing to the wimpiest bots... It's so fun!

I guess that's it, post your info and poopi like that! Tell me some history of you and Soldat related. :O

I used to play wolfenstein a lot and I made this text-based online RPG, and the guy who did the character graphics (Sgt. Slaughter) told me to play Soldat. So I played for like a week and decided it sucked because I'd never played a 2D game and didn't know how to aim. I thought the m79 was like a panzerfaust, but I still couldn't use it, so I gave up for 2 weeks...then I tried again using barret and dominated, so I kept using the barret for 3 more months and got addicted.

I was at mpogd and I looked up free action games and found soldat about 2 years ago. I played for 2 weeks and sucked. I quit then a month later I started playing again with barret and completely raped. Then noticing how unfair the barret was (before all the whiners) I switched to ruger because of how similar it was but also how hard too because it used to shoot slower and it's puny clip size. I love using rifles so I stuck with it and next patch ruger sped up and I was addicted ever since.

I sat in the same position for 8 weeks. I ate nothing but microwave popcorn and drank only lemon juice. On the 56th day, a small, white rat appeared, and he said unto me "Soldat.pl." I rushed to my computer, and there I downloaded 1.1.5.

I found it on some crap site, around 2ish years ago. I downloaded it (1.05), thought it wasn't too bad. About 2 months later, I figured out the multiplayer. Got totally addicted, joined the forums, spammed with excellent grammar and managed to get 1000 posts and got bloody good in the game. Around that point, I got sick of it and stopped everything for half a year. Started again, and I've been continuing on a lower level since then...

I first heard of Soldat when I saw version 1.12 on Fileplanet's list of latest PC game demos. That was a year or two back, I guess. I usually stop playing for about 3 months before a new version comes out... it's one of my favorite games of all time, but it does get old eventually. No worries, those Desert Eagles are forever familiar to mine hands.

I think I've fought maybe 1/4 to 1/2 of the forumers here... I'm not majorly involved in the community, but I'm playing Soldat rather a lot recently -- new version rocks.

Well, I found it on file planet as version 1.1.5, when 1.2 was out. I played a bunch with bot for maybe a month then found out that there was actually a multiplayer mode, but only in the latest version. So ya it was fun.

My friend downloaded it somewhere and told me about it. It didn´t work on meh old computer but I got it working. I think the version was 1.0.5. I started using ak74 at that time, and still using the b*stard :D. Then one day I thought I could maybe find some soldat stuff from internet. I didn´t find "some soldat stuff", I found a huge community. I also realised there is a new version of soldat. It was 1.4, I think. Wow! Secondaries.....

About a week after downloading msn messenger, about 5 of my real life friends got online and told me to download it. 1.1.5 I think. I just joined their rambo match and got owned. But then I started playing on my own, and got addicted. All of my friends fell out of the game, but I kept on playing. There was this guy/bot? named GOD who'd always own me in this Brazilian server back when I rarely played anywhere but there and against bots. And I never even figured there was a huge community. He said I had terrible reaction time. But it was fun nonetheless. So I quit off and on and then this summer started a clan and joined the SDL. It's safe to say that league was a joke but I met the person who would get me off Barrett, (Spike), and another who's been my friend and fellow teammate since, (Dark Stranger). Long story, oh and I used to wear white pants in game. What the hell was I thinking?

Hehe... I've only barely been around longer than TFS. I started playing during 1.02b, very shortly before 1.03b was released.

I heard about Soldat through the LieroNet forums (R.I.P.). The wacky poster of those forums (Ulv) posted a thread that had something to the effect of "OMG!" as the title, and just a link to the Soldat homepage. I've been playing ever since. You probably saw it through the same place, Worm.

I first found about this game while i was at an internet cafe. It looked awesome and I got hooked on it ever since. I was a big fan of several FPS games(CS, TFC, AA and so on) so i was able to learn this game quickly. Played since 1.1.2 and I have only recently join the forums.
The reason i play it so much is because i have a 6+ year old computer, so this game is practicly the best game i can play.
This game is awesome, but i have to say you get easily tired of it.

My cousin first told me about it a WHILE ago, probably between 1 and 1/2 or 2 years ago. I downloaded it on my old comp and it didnt work. Some graphics trouble...who the hell knows.
Then when I got mah new computer, I downloaded it again and it worked. But not the multiplayer, cause I didn't have the fix.
I just played against bots for a helluva long time. One day on a whim I checked the site and saw the fix. Downloaded it, and started playing online. This was over the summer. Eventually I joined the forums after just reading them for a while.
So thats my history.

About a year or 2 ago I was chilling out on the couch with a cop o'coffee reading the newspaper and then all of the sudden a brick crashed trough my window. There was a note on it, it said: 'soldat.pl', nothing else, so I went to check it out and there you go, another soldat addict.

I never discovered who threw the brick though.

I had missplaced my Worms 2 CD and was pissed. And the computer wasn't good enough to handle Liero Xtreme. So I serched the web for 2D multiplayer shooters. Soldat was the best candidate I found. Even though it was ye old 1.0.2b.

You should have seen me with the Spas back then! I could was one of the best ones out there. After ~6 months CS-brake I couldn't even kill Booige Man with it anymore. Now I auto whore instead.

2 and a half years ago was the release of the very first beta version of soldat. You sure there mike? ;) I don't remember you or clan phoenix until I came out of retirement like....... 1 year ago at most.
