Blitz 2 Gameplay Video

Is this the only gameplay video of Blitz 2 on the net so far? The most obvious change is its use of full 3D and generally more effects. I might post a detailed little examination of all the little things in this video sometime in the future.

Update: Uploaded video to youtube

Blitz 2 facts

Some interesting information from two articles, a Chinese and Japanese one reveal some interesting facts about Blitz 2. The most important being that the total numbers of players playing simultaneously on a battlefield has been raised from 32(16vs16) to 200(100vs100). Another one is the increase in the types of tanks from 4 to 9. There also seems to be a new story line which is compared to the cold war, but from the shoddy translation, I can't seem to tell.

Blitz 2 Models

The translation of this Japanese article also reveals interesting differences between the two versions which I'll post later.


Creation of this Blog

I've created this blog to reminisce on Blitz 1941, the WW2 tank MMO created by Mowelsoft which left us international players out in the cold after the international version unexpectedly shut down a few years back but mainly to post any news I can find about the sequel, Blitz 2. Resorting to googling Blitz 1941 every little while and looking up youtube videos to see recent comments from ex-players isn't ideal. Hopefully one day a Blitz 2 international version is released and we can get back to where we left off.
