This is kind of interesting. I played WoT on the PC while it was in beta. It's now a free-to-play game and apparently has been quite successful. It was fun, but ultimately the long grind to get better tanks was a turn off. Not sure how this will be received by console gamers.

Hey for free I'm willing to try it out. Already signed up for the beta.

Yeah, I'll try it too because I freakin love tank warfare. You start off with crap tanks though, so it's kinda rough at first.

Battlezone for PC(FPS/RTS game) is of one my Top 10 games of all time. Loved the tank play. I also liked BattleTanx on N64. It was a great 4-player game. It will be interesting to see how WoT works on 360.

Makes me sad I can't nuke XB360 players with my Object 268

Why wait for the beta when you can play on PC now

Why wait for the beta when you can play on PC now

For 1) I haven't played any PC games since before Xbox original & 2) I don't have a great PC or even one that runs Windows. And 3) I don't have a wired 360 controller. So, no way would I use a keyboard & mouse from my recliner while playing it from my TV. The 360 was designed for gaming in that setting. I think I prefer it & will wait it out.

I reckon the relatively simple user interface of Tanks will work well on console controllers. The only question mark is over map-interaction, as there are a couple of mouse-click operations in the PC game: notifying your team and navigation of aim/view while using artillery.

Beta is US & Canada only. Boo!

Signed up, but... tbh, MP just isn't my thing.

It seems fun, although I have so many games on the X360 already and I am so eagerly awaiting for the Xbox One to come out that by learning a new game I could get bored or frustrated and turn the game off.

Since they brought this to the Xbox 360 I hope they bring League of Legends to Xbox One. That would be amazing.

I got an invite to the beta. Did anyone else?

 

[AzBat]

I got a beta email from "Word of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition". Wished I could play, but I took on a temp 2nd job from home & I'll be too busy to play.

Dang it! I need someone to team up with.

 

[AlNom]

mm... tried it for 5 minutes, didn't like it. :/

The UI was kinda clunky too, so I'd hope they'd fix that eventually.

Watching gameplay vids, information on screen is definitely hindered by having to deliver a "10 foot" UI.
