Some people think that's a bad thing, but I don't. Most games are done when you buy them, and if you don't like something, or something isn't working, well, that's too bad. With WWII Online, customer input is a key element of the development process, and in fact, is a determiner of many of the development team's efforts.

I bought this game in early July, and since that time, it's become much more stable, and has improved in a number of ways beyond counting.

Yes, you will need to add more RAM to your PC, but that's not a bad thing, and it will contribute much to your machine's performance when handling many other games and programs. For not much more than ... you can upgrade from 128K to 512K, giving you good performance in this game. Hey, I'm only at 384K and it runs at a sufficient level for me to handle all but flying aircraft, and that's on a PIII 450!

If you always wanted to know what being in WWII was like, right now this game can give you a glimmer of that, and for ... down and ... a month, that's not too shabby.

The game did have a bad launch, but it is updated often, and the last patch is UNREAL. Imagine if you will. You spawn as infantry and hop aboard an Opel. The truck is full and other Opels are loading up. There are Halftracks pulling 88's and Paks you're in a real convoy. As you near the battle there are tanks flanking the enemy city on multiple sides. There are Stuka's bombing the enemy from the sky. The air is controlled by your 109's. In the river your boats are moving in with troops. All this and every one of them is controled by another person. You can drive a tank and your friend can operate the main gun. You fly the plane and your buddy's the tail gunner, or how about the Bombadeer? Visit the game's web page and look at some of the screen shots and videos. This game ROCKS!

Okay game I guess...........

You know, i bought this game because i heard both good and bad reviews. You can say i was curious about the game. So, one night, i went to Best Buy and bought this game, knowing that i didn't have a good graphic and it said it needed decent one. When i installed it and runned the program, it took at least 5 minutes to get to the main menu. Then it took another 5 minutes to get in the game. However, the gameplay was alright. I mean the maps are huge. There at least 900 people on a server but doesn't laggy. Even though there was 900 people on the server, i couldn't find the enemy because the bases are pretty far apart. Also, when you drive in any vechiles, you can't get out of them. Plus, when you ran out of ammo, you have to respawn, which takes a long time. In my opinion, i think you should wait on this game when new patches come out in the near future which make it more fun because i think the game needs more improvement. Also, why do i have to pay $... a month for playing online. i think they shouldn't do that.................

The truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth........

I picked up this game 4 days after it came out. Took it home installed it, registered for an account and tried to play. "Can not connect to server" I looked harder to find there is already an almost 70 meg patch for me to sit and download. I must admit, I was shocked to find such a large patch for a game that had been released 4 days before. I download it, install it and try to play...."can not connect to server". At this point I jump on the forums and I find out that the servers don't work, nor have they ever worked for most. I wait 3 more days to play this game. Finally, after to many problems to put here I got connected to the server! No joke, I sat at the loading screen for almost 15 mins before the game started. This happened everytime I loaded it. They claim it's due to memory but I have 512megs of ram. My FPS (frames per second) were about 3 or 4 when they should had been 50 to 100. Do you have any idea how hard it is to play a MMORPG with those frames? I didn't pay bucks on a vid card for this! So, now I've been sitting around waiting for a 2 meg patch they have been claiming will fix all of our problems. The patch came out today and nothing was fixed as far as I can tell. This game is NOT FINISHED! IT DOES_NOT INCLUDE ALL THINGS LISTED ON THE BOX. I read somewhere the company making this game is new. This would be their first game and they have been working on it for about 2 years. I read on their forums that they ran out of money and needed to start selling the game in order to make money to finish it. IT DOES NOT SAY THIS ON THE BOX! They did however stop the clock on the 30-day trial. If you buy this game you are spending money to be a beta tester and that just isn't right. Wait till it gets fixed and is playable, say around 2003.

Oh, I almost forgot. As customers we have been trying to get answers from CRS/PlayNet about whats going on with this game. The only real way to contact them (and get an answer) is to use the forums. Get this, they started deleting any post they didn't agree with. We are paying customers and they delete our requests for help and answers right in front of our eyes. BUYER BEWARE!

Big Beta Test

I bought this game a week after it was released and have been playing it ever since. I love it, and yet I can't recommend it! Very few of the "real War" features have been implimented so far. Crashes abound, and the game is basically in a beta test mode.

Still... If you're into the subject and like team oriented action, there's a lot of GREAT FUN here! When it's working, the action is gritty and intense. Just bring a halftrack full of patience!

Bottom line: This WILL be a GREAT GAME. Someday.

System Notes: Myself and many others play on 56k dial-up. A good connection is important (I like at least 49k), but RAM is the key to FPS in this game. You'll NEED a full 512Mb as this game is a BIG memory hog!

Best Game Ever Made

This game rocks. I have been playing it since it launched and have loved every minute of it. It never gets old due to the constant updates and it has a great player base. Buy this game.
