Quote:Joey's Review
WW2 Online is one of the most brutal MMO's I have ever played, and is only surmounted in pure brutality by EVE Online. In my times of activity in this game I served with a variety of units from the 24th Panzer Brigade, the 106th Airborne Brigade, and a few others who names passes my mind. When I played this game, I served as mostly a CAS Pilot and Anti-Tank cannon operator. This game is incredibly well paced with most of your activities revolving around attacking towns to gain strategic footholds, as well as going about busting enemy Forward Operating Bases to move forward in certain areas. Every team has a few high commanders who order players on what to do, move divisions, and organize supply chains. This all leads to a very fluid and dynamic game which has fights that go on for roughly 5 to 6 hours per city.

As every team is trying to gain control of certain areas, it becomes necessary for the players to go with friendly squad members on bombing raids against enemy factories and supply hubs. Each one of these flights can last anywhere from one to three hours with how the current map is a 1:4 sized replica of continental Europe. During these raids, you can expect long periods of flying high altitudes and talking about random shit between friends while prepping to over enemy soil, and once you reach near the factories, it becomes expected to come under attack from several enemy fighters and AI triple AA flak. This game by far is not a game for people who don't want to be patient and make tons of friends while playing with others. It's a game which requires patience, skill, and most importantly some amount of willpower to talk to others.

For those of you whom are interested even with that information, I applaud you, and to be honest with you... Shocked. If you continue to look into this game be aware that it is a very, very fun and social game to play. You'll be able to fly a plane, control a boat, act a gunner on a tank, defend your bases with large anti-tank guns... So many roles are open for those which take interest in this game and are willing to put some time into it. The only thing which may turn you away from this game is the age. It's a game that was made in 1998 and has been continuously updated since that period of time. Below my review I'll be posting videos of different types of gameplay, and I hope you are willing to play this game!

This current point in time is really important for CRS, as they are now developing the game further and will soon be adding far more weapons for using as infantry. From simple things like new submachine guns, to brand new semiauto rifles! If the game gets enough players to show up during its program, we might be able to convince them to lower some of the subscription prices in order to keep their game development going.
