First of all you need the server software which can be downloaded on the homepage (http://soldnersecretwars.de/?mod=files&action=view&id=37)
In the Bin folder of the game there should be a .bat file with something like LAN in it, with that file you start the server.
To configure your server type localhost:7890 in your browser window. The default password is "soldnerserver" (without "). All the rest should be self explaining.
(Thx to Schranzkopp for the explanation ^^)
Well I just got the game from a friend and I simply LOVE IT. If you like to play BF2 or other fps games then you should like this as you can drive and fly so many things you have to spend a few minutes deciding what you will go into battle in.
All the bad reviews söldner's got as soon as it launched were well deserved, this game really was subpar when it first came out, my rating when it first cam out would have been a 1 out of a 10, that's how bad i thought it was, but a lot of work has gone into it in the form of patches, and it demands stating once again, a lot of work went into it so that it could become something actually worth of my attention. I am a demanding player, i am not a geek, i have never breezed through a twenty hour game in 20 hours, i always take my time with games, i consider myself an average player, but where quality is to be found i am one to point it out and point it i will.
Graphics: 8 though textures are becoming a bit dated, they still stand good especially for the war theme conveyed.
Sound: 8 good sounds, especially those of explosions and rotor blades, armored vehicles and some fire shots are spot on.
Gameplay: single player 4 forget about it, you may use single player to train your pilot skills though.
Gameplay: online multiplayer 9.8 great.
If you enjoy battles in a grand scale and actually want that little more realism put into it than i guess there's no other game at the moment providing you as much as this one does, perhaps battlefield 2 is hot on this one's heels but still wishing it had söldner's more serious gameplay.
Do you enjoy arcadish mindless fun? tere's room for it in söldner's gameplay, just ignore your comander's orders and go about having your fun (just as long as you don't kill your team players, in which case you may have your butt kicked in less than it takes to say it).
Do you prefer to take your time thinking a more strategic approach? well why don't you become commander of your team and launch a thunderbolt ground suppressing, first air-strike attack, followed by second sweep of attack choppers as your blackhawks disgorge your highly trained snipers and some infantry teams in the background, deploying them right under your oponent's nose. My! you can wreak havok with that sort of combination, helicopters hovering around, bombing the enemy base to rubble and over 700 round per second mini gun, shooting any still standing opposiiion while your carefully placed and constantly changing spot after each kill skilled snipers take care of any daring dodger especially the ones clutching a stinger launcher (which may be fatal to your chopper pilots and their rides) in their sweaty grimy fingers, or just taking care of any still remnant armored vehicle in the perimeter, ( always, always cary a launcher, depending on your environment arena, either anti tank of which only one is really nearly 100% effective on a single shot, anti personnel, anti bunker, or anti anircraft of which there's only one, the stinger launcher).
Did i wet your gaming taste buds already? well no matter what i write here can actaully prepare you for this monster of a game, if you really are into war tactics and if you are the sort of person who has an interest in weapons, from side arms to B2 bombers and whatever's involved in the making of a battlefield, this game is spot on.
This still isn't a real war,real wars are no fun i'll tell you ( some weapons should be more effective than they are in the game) there's still some room for nit picking but what game doesn't. but you can ask yourself the question, "... but is it any realistic, doe it feel like real war on my computer screen ? "
my answer to you is, closer than any other game to date.
When Soldner first came out had alot of bugs thats why it got bad scores but Wings (The game creators) is not working on the game anymore, ProjectZero is now working on this great game and they made available patches to correct all those bugs and add features to the game, there is allways new patches! Its a multiplayer game altough you can play alone in Training missions.
This game has fully destructible environment, more then 60 weapons, including pistols, snipers, machine guns, rocket launchers, grenade launchers, grenades, c4.
More then 70 vehicles including civilian cars, jeeps, tanks, jets, helicopters.
You can customize your character from head to foot.
The multiplayer online modes are: Capture the Flag, Capture the Vehicle, Death match, Team Death match, Conquest and Super Conquest.
This game will worth your money! Its very fun to play and i promise you wont get bored!!
Check the official site for more info and YouTube for videos of version 33673 by squishless.
Soldner is actually a really good game guys.... Download the latest patches and get the addons, then get on there, play a 10k server and have some fun! Good buy!
Consider that this game is from 2004.
If i think about more or less comparable games like OperationFlashpoint, JointOperations and Battlefield1942 they are all from around that time and don't really make Söldner look that bad if you ask me.
I would describe this game as a simpler OperationFlashpoint.

Can you play LAN?
Sure you can.
To do so follow these steps:
First of all you need the server software which can be downloaded on the homepage (http://soldnersecretwars.de/?mod=files&action=view&id=37)
