What a word, we have all been affected by war. Whether it be from a nightmare following a TV program, or even directly through grandparents condition. Real war is Terrible...no two ways about it...

but what about Internet wars...it could be just for fun, but there could be on-line groups with an 'arsenal' of computers which were all programmed to hack get into the oppositions files.

I think it could be quite a success with constant on-liners. Just imagine groups of people gathering together in the UK manning the battlestations (computers) and seeing if they can take out the oppositions computers using bug-files, cracks and other fancy internet hacking devices.

Of course there is always the chance that you might get cheaters or people who use special firewalls but you get cheaters everywhere, PSO-On-Line, Planetarion.

I think and Internet war, just for fun would be quite good...virtual massacres of machinery costing the groups £100's for new mother boards etc. It might be a bit expensive but you could show it in TV in all the 1st world countries and even 2nd.

The profitability would be tremendous!

Internet war....Cool!

I duuno...

I read a small article about it a week or two ago...

Since I couldnt make up my mind wether it sounded a little dodgy (WWII not being the nicest of times) or quite a lot of fun...

it stuck in my mind...

I'll have a peek around and see if I can find it again (it may have an attached URL)

How strongly based on world war II is it going to be? Is it suposed to be a team shooter or an individual game. I guess if it's never ending, then there will be little historical progress made, and it's more of a 'scenario' thing? I can see a great appeal in an online world war simulator, especially if it allows for the possibility of history changing.

I really like the souind of this, I'll have to look it up. Any idea where I can find out more?

Arnt they already making WWII Online?

The idea being that you can take part in a never-ending online World War 2 MMRPG/FPS

Which... despite sounding like a highly dubious premise, will probably end up being quite a lot of fun :)

Nice idea. I imagine you'd have to be something of a programming guru in order to be any good at it though? What if a virus you released gets out of control and spreads outside your little game? Now that might be worth televising! ;)
