It could use a make over

With the tech of today and the so called tech the people who made this game it could use a lot more graphics and a story of update when you get in. it costs money to pay for a game that a 2 year old made. it does have a very good map but it gets boring waiting on a tank or opel blitz or even running and walking to the battle feild. while i did the waiting a got a small paper wheiht to keep the walk button down while i read and watch it from time to time checking my map to see my map. and also when you get under a tank and shoot the bottom of the tank you destroy it. you die in 1 or 2 hits and when you get shot your screen gets blinking with red which is redder when u have more damage.

One of the best ideas for a MMORPG

First, some GOOD things:

1) Absolutely no NPCs.. "quests" (which are in actuality missions) are 100% different everytime. Why? Because a REAL person is ALWAYS behind it.

2) The ability to play as infantry, a pilot, driver or captain of a ship.

3) The innovation of an MMORPG that is a REAL TIME FIRST PERSON STRATEGY/SHOOTER in a PERSISTANT WORLD. Folks this is like a HUGE MMORPG version of games like half-life's internet play.

4) The detail and accuracy is some of the best!

Unfortunately, there are several problems with this game:

1) Bugs. What can i say about them? They are all over (tho not as bad as it was, and it's getting better)

2) I may be wrong, but it seems that while I've played it I have had the option to play either the Axis or Allies... basically, you can play either side (????? or am i just special?) This would reduce a LOT of strategy if it were true.

3) Enormous load times and very slow FPS for even a minimum requirement met for the game.

4) Each strategic location only allows you to enter with certain units, and if you want to be infantry you may have to run a LONG way to find a battle unless there is a battle currently in a zone where infantry can enter thru the enter screen. You might be lucky and catch a ride from a driver though... which should be on the PLUS side.

Either way you look at it, this game is a BRILLIANT concept that is still beautiful despite it's problems, and any World War II fans should LOVE and BUY this game.

i suggest you browse the ww2 online website forums before you buy this game it will give you some ideal of the current state of the game and the problems that are occuring at the present time.they do seem to be patching regulary and problems do exist.the game is not playable out of the box.expect massive downloads to get online the first patch is 80 mb.as a player from day one i have seen many changes some for the better some not. the frame rates are a issue .the min system specs are out right bogus .player services support are a out right joke.basicly the game was shipped in a unfinished condition but they are adding the bits and pieces trying to get the game to a point where the subsciption to play online can be enacted .the flight model is not to my taste .i have a 1.2 t-bird amd with 512 ram on a 56k modem and 12 frames in the air is the best i get.to obtain rank you must make a kill in a very limited area the run back to where you started and despawn.the game really was quite fun before this was impemented .ground frame rates are much better on the ground than in the air.they added a naval river patrol boat and it is quite fun anlong with the heavy fire power it packs make it a formable weapon .the game does have promise and if it survives could turn out to be the game of the decade but right now it still just stinks .expect frequant crash to desktops there is no escape from the game if it locks up you must reset the computer .the average age of the community is around 25-35 but 40 -60 is very common .the game has given me many hours of excitement and enjoyment since purchase but it is constantly changing the instruction manual that comes with the cd doesnt even match the keyboard movements of the infantry men now.pay to play starts 11-22 and i doubt that i will subscibe at this time but will wait and watch the forum boards for more improvments to game play and the addition of the capital navy.again you will need a super computer to play this game but dont expect great graphics.the graphics are acuratly represented on the screen shots. the sounds arent bad though.other theaters of operations must be purchased as add-ons now it is currently the blitzkrieg theater.i hate to say it becuase i have had alot of fun in the game but the only games i have ever purchased worse than this are dos games that i could not run on a win 98 platform.

Worst game I have ever played, No lie!

I have been playing games since the late 70's and have played thousands of games. I have played Ultima online, Everquest, Diablo 1 and 2 for online games. WWIIOL is horrible! Do not buy! The game has a 70 MB download before you can even play the game and YOU will crash to desktop all the time with the thousands of bugs it still has. I have a P3 667 with 512 MB Ram, Geforce 3 64 MB Ram, Cable modem, SCSI everything and it still runs like crap.
Spend your money on something good.

This game is fantastic in its scope and design but is having what is possibly the most troubled launch of all time. Wait a month after its realease to buy it, but definitely get it. A must for any WW2 fan, strategy fan, first person shooter fan, sim fan, or MMOG fan. Think that just about covers everybody.

Do you even know that much about this game? The other reviewers might be part of the closed-beta test. I have never played World War II Online but it looks like it will be one of the greatest massive multiplayer games there will ever be in the near future. Maybe next time before you jump to conclusions about something you will check your facts before you spread your thoughts. Now for all of you reading this as a review visit some sites and look up the game on the internet because when this game comes out it will be massive and phenomenal. You will be able to experience the world's second great war. Fight as an Infantryman, Sailor, Tanker, Pilot, and Supply personel. Don't miss you chance to experience World War II on the virtual battlefield.

Greatest Electronic War since Desert Storm!

WOW! It's just like WWII combined with Desert Strm in the sense all you need to do is push a few buttons to kill something!

Good getting better

Durring the early stages of the release of this game the game did not work very well. There were alot of features not yet added and a few annoying bugs. Well that is definately the past. With a very aggresive development staff and updates comming out all the time this game has become one of the funnest I have ever played. I truely recommend this to any gamer/military/historical addict.

Best MMOG available

This game got off to a really slow start. I think everyone accepts that it shipped as a beta. However, CRS has moved forward and has addressed most of the issues that made this game frustrating for the first few months. It is presently a blast to play, and I highly recommend the game to those who are interested in the best online WWII simulation on the market and the funnest online game available.

A quick summary of what is available in the game. Currently the game models the battle of france (1940). You can play as french, british or german. The entire theater of operation is modeled on the ground. I.e., you can get in a truck and drive across france (This will take many hours). There are multiple aircraft, armour (tanks), anti-tank, truck, infantry and naval platforms available to crew. Some can be multi-crewed (i.e one player drives the tank, another shoots the gun). The intent is to slowly expand the game into other theaters of operation, such as the east front (USSR), pacific, north africa, stc.

There are a few caveats:

1) You must have at least 256MB of ram. Other than this, the recommnded system works well (except for flying aircraft, they seem to need more resources than the base system).
2) You must have a 56K or better internet connection. I.e. your dialup line must actually give you a 50K or better connection speed. Broadband is better.
3) You must be prepared to play for 30 minutes or more to have fun (more is much better). This is not like quake where you drop in for five minutes of fun.
4) Be prepared to download about 120MB of patches before you can play (ouch).
5) The learning curve is a little steep b/c the manual is poor.
6) THIS GAME IS NOT QUAKE. DO NOT EXPECT QUAKE WITH TANKS AND PLANES!

Overall, the game is not perfect, but at the rate it is going it will be a five-star game in a few months. It will be a six-star game in a year if it keeps going at the current rate.
