World War II Online

The first version of this game has been released in 2001 and had a bad launch. But in the past years the devs have worked their *** off and created a complete new game with many new features, vehicles, graphics and stability. It is a complete different game now than it was 2001.

I'm playing this game since its release 2001, with short breaks. This game must have something...and for me its not the praphics! :)

I was also drawn to the whole mmorpg WW2 setting and thought that it became time a WW2 mmorpg came along so when i read about WW2(sorry just found out about the game last year), i decided to install the game and i was like "wow amazing people are able to play such a game and really amazing this game survived this long". The reason was because of all the positive post on several forums i really thought this game was cool.

This game might have dept but it is lacking dept anywhere as it comes to graphics dunno what some people are used to graphic wise but i've read this game started in 2001 ...well thats presicly how it felt ...a old game, sure maybe the tactics are nice but i'm the type of gamer that has to please both his eyes aswell sound and gameplay, i rather get back into Medal of Honor Allied Assualt then ever in such a louzy looking game wich was a real disappointment to see such a game still excist in 2007. Afcourse i understand if you still not be able to play the somewhat nicer looking games cause of having a low end system but seriously WW2 a good game??...might be so afcourse ....just absolutly not my kind of game, i like to move forward and evolve with games not go back intime..way back in time.

My experiance with the game is based on last december 2006 so i truly doubt that the game has made any kind of improvments  in this last month.

I really hope that one day a WW2 mmorpg will look like BF1942 or CoD, have the real dept of a (old school mmorpg) but not again like WW2 online, sorry its a pure waist.

I know some of you might start flaming at me but honostly i don't care as this is my own opinion and i'm not forcing my opinion upon anyone just sharing my thoughts

Graphics...Is that all you look for in a game?  You are obviously just an average run of the mill FPS shooter fanboy.  The battlefield series has great graphics but there is no depth of gameplay and the game gets old faster than a box of cookies at a weight watcher meeting.

Battleground Europe (World War II online) is the best game I have ever played.

Hey Thony,

Just a question here about the above statement.  If you had your choice of really good graphics but very limited view distance or lousy graphics like BE and extremely far viewing distance    which one would you perfer?

Reason I ask is I've read taht the lousy fx in BE is because they draw terrain out to 7000/8000meters and enemy are drawn 3000m for vehicles and 1000m out for infantry.

Now I think if the WWII game you play has big guns modeled, then you would perfer the extreme range viewing distance, right?  Seems like a waste if you have a german 88 Anti tank gun modeled in game (or a Stug 75mm, or a Sherman 76mm, or a Destroyer's 5 inch gun) and you can only shoot enemy tanks 100-200 meters away max because of map limits.

For me, the great looking fx in a boxed city get old on me quick.  Hence why I've been with BE for a long time now.

O and also flying bombers at 8000 ft above a ground battle and dropping bombs randomly in the middle of the enemy.  Hehe thats good stuff too especially when i get a crazy kill like enemy sniper.  I got to think that enemy sniper found a nice spot and is like WTF??? when he gets bombed.

Hia Slaman,

To answer your question i think viewing distance is very importent especialy on large battlefields.

But the thing is i'm well over 30y of age so i've seen (graphic wise) games like this many many times in the past and because i already play pc games for such along time a game like WW2 is just disappointing to me. I used to play games pure for its content regardless graphics but since i think about 4/5 years i constantly am upgrading my system pure to get into the newest and most exiting games.

Really i'm happy that some people enjoy the game its just not the game i thought it would be for me and we all should be glad that everyone has his own opinion else we all would be playing the same game and in the end that wouldn't be funny.

I bet that if WW2 online had the same tactics and gameplay as from what i read it has now but had graphic similair to lets say BF1942/COD3, it would be far more succesfull then it is.

People may call me a spoiled gamer in the way that i need everything in a game to be right graphics/gameplay/community(or atleast close to it, as perfect would never excist cause of every person having different taste)but people "can" never and "may" never call me a FPS fanboy  as that
