It's been seven years since a small group of developers in Bedford, Texas launched "WWII Online: Blitzkrieg". It was an ambitious project that introduced the gaming world to a new type of play: the MMOFPS. "WWII Online: Blitzkrieg" has evolved into "Battleground Europe", a mature and feature rich game with a dynamic and devoted community. With over 100 accurately modeled weapons available and a game world measuring over 350,000 square miles. "Battleground Europe" remains the most immersive World War II MMOs ever made.

NOOOOOOO!  Not as soon as I leave for China for 1 month!  Damn it!

I LOVED this game, can't wait to visit it again..

Look for it in China. Try it here again when you get back.

It seems CRS has marketed it in China in the last several months.

Different servers, so they are not connected to the rest of the world, and a few different rules.

ex. anti-addiction code, so you can't be logged on for more than a few hours at a time.

The game has grown so much in the past very few months. Look for more massive changes in the next short while. eg. graphics with Unity 2, graphics engine.

Haha, I forgot all about that.  Maybe I'll look into it.  By the way, have they estimated a release date for Unity 2 yet?
