Wargaming.net announces the launch of the website for the recently revealed flight combat action MMO World of Warplanes. Set in the Golden Age of military aviation, World of Warplanes continues the armored warfare theme marked in the highly-acclaimed World of Tanks and will throw players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance.

The website available at www.worldofwarplanes.com will feature the first in-game screenshots and will further introduce world of warplanes with renders, videos, and other materials to keep players in touch with the latest development updates. World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots will choose from three main warplane classes - single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and strafing aircrafts, the fearsome threat for ground targets. ...

The award-winning Project Reality Studios team are proud to announce that the official first release of v0.1 of the Project Reality ArmA2 Mini-Mod will be coming very soon. Although we are now moving into the Beta Testing stage, we think the time is right to inform the community of what will be coming to you very shortly. Project Reality will enter the ArmA2 battlefield for the first time!

As with Project Reality's original conception on the Refractor 2 engine, at this stage PR:ArmA2 should be classed as a Mini-Mod; we have to start somewhere! Don't be fooled though, this release will by no means disappoint, due to the large number of high quality art assets already created by the Project Reality Team, and the considerable experience of the PR:ArmA2 Development Team on the Real Virtuality 3 engine!

PR:ArmA2 will exist as a standalone modification. It will remain self contained, self developing and not rely on or use externally held add ons from other sources where at all possible. What that means to the player is that it will be a 'one stop shop' as an installation package, with no requirement for additional multiple add on packs.

If you're not familiar with it Planetside, was the first MMOFPS launched in 2003. Allowing truly "massive" game-play with all manor of tanks, aircraft and infantry combat, you the player took on the roll of a foot soldier in one of three empires; The Terran Republic, The New Conglomerate, or the Vanu Sovereignty. With features like squads, platoons, inventory systems, and outfits (clans), Planetside managed to combine the FPS and MMO genres in a seamless way. The biggest draw of course were those massive battles, with hundreds on players on each side able to actively participate on one continent (map). Now CEO John Smedley and SOE plan to out do themselves with the second installment in the series. ...
