| | |
| WGL 5 provides the most realistic, comprehensive, and tactical first-person military simulation
| |
| available for the civilian PC market. WGL 5 is the premier tactical military simulation
| |
| incorporating true combined arms in a believable virtual world – not only that, but it is FREE.
| |
| Its closest competitor, [[Virtual_Battlespace|VBS1]], is, admittedly, more realistic, but it is also hundreds of dollars
| |
| to purchase and is not designed for entertainment.<br />
| |
| WGL 5 allows casual to hard-core gamers the opportunity to experience realistic military weapons,
| |
| equipment, and tactics while still maintaining an environment that is enjoyable to play.
| |
| | |
| ==History==
| |
| The WGL project began years ago when AngusHeaf and Tactician decided to improve some balancing
| |
| and gameplay issues specifically related to online PvP gaming.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| Since its inception, the WGL Mod has placed a large focus on realism and enhanced squad based gameplay.
| |
| After the release of WGL 2, Phaeden joined the team. Shortly thereafter, Dinger created the WGL
| |
| mortar system. Like its predecessors, WGL 3 and 4 were released to a relatively small group of
| |
| PvP tournament players and teams.<br />
| |
| In November 2005, a small group of WGL fans asked for a few minor tweaks to the latest build of WGL.
| |
| This became WGLZ and its aims were to tweak WGL AI as best as possible. These few minor tweaks have
| |
| in the last year and a half become a hundreds of modifications, additions, and improvements.
| |
| On a special note, this is also thanks to these WGL fans, like Bn880, Jinef, lwlooz, Terox and the
| |
| other Zeus community members!<br />
| |
| During this time, many new members have joined the WGL 5 staff, most notably Q and Killswitch.
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction==
| |
| WGL 5 is a complete conversion for Operation Flashpoint.
| |
| Its main goal is to create a highly realistic military simulation while still allowing for
| |
| entertaining and enjoyable single player, cooperative, and multiplayer gameplay.<br />
| |
| <br />
| |
| We have painstakingly researched real-world documentation, conducted interviews with real military
| |
| members, and thoroughly play-tested this Mod to present you with something more than a game and
| |
| something less than a true simulation.<br />
| |
| The gameplay that you will experience in WGL 5 is significantly different than standard
| |
| OFP - firefights are more intensive, squad tactics play a much greater role, and use of true
| |
| combined arms is more important.<br />
| |
| However, we also understand that you want to spend your time enjoying the gameplay.
| |
| A true simulation is significantly different in that it replicates the real world to a much higher
| |
| degree. This, in turn, often makes less than enjoyable gameplay. While you could conceivably use
| |
| WGL 5 as a training tool (proper authorization must be obtained first), we have not lost sight of
| |
| the fact that it is a game at heart – even though our prime focus is on realism.
