I know, I know! Right now, you're all thinking "WWII Online? I heard that game sucks!" I know you did. I heard it too.


But that was 3 years ago.


Let me just tell you guys this game has came a long way. I played it on my friends computer when it came out, and I hated it. It was absolutly terrible. Horrible graphics, bug-plagued, etc...


Well, I've been looking for a new game, and I stumbled upon an UPDATED review of WWII Online. From the way it sounded, I figured this game would be passable now, and I figured I'd give it a shot. Why not, right?


I. LOVE. THIS. GAME.


Seriously. I was hoping for a mix between BF1942 and GR, and while it's not exactly the same as either game, it's a really good mix between the 2.


There are some things that are still being worked out, and there's a ton of new stuff being added (bailing out of planes and tanks/trucks are something that's going to be implimented).

Seriously though, this game kicks major @$$. While it could be fustrating running 10 minutes to get to the front lines only to get shot by a sniper (and that's no exaggeration...average distance from a foward base to an enemy town is probably 10 minutes running distance), you must remember that this game is a SIMULATION. Do not go into this game expecting BF1942, you'll be sorely disappointed. Patience really does pay off in this game; If you have the ability to wait in the bushes for 10 minutes for an enemy panzer to pass, you can run up, place some satchel charges on the tracks, and blow the damn things off.

Speaking of which, the games hit detection is awesome too. While it's very hard to tell if you kill an enemy vehicle, it's pretty neat to take it down with your rifle. You can fire a shot into the barrel and jam the turret. You can fire in the viewslots and kill the crew. You can kill the tank commander when he pops his grubby little head out. This game is extremely realistic.


But I'm done raving about the game; Try it for yourself. They are running a free 2 week trial (No credit card info needed for the trial, just go to register, click "Create Promo Account", and type in WWIIMAG as the promo key), and it's definatly worth it to give a chance.

I really think you GR guys especially will love this game. It's very similar in a lot of aspects, and with the communication and teamwork you guys promote, we'd probably be able to take a whole town just by ourselves.

If you do decide to try it, tell me, and I can teach you what I know. Yesterday was my first day, but I've already picked up a lot about the game. It's a bit of a steeep lurning curve, but by the end of your first day you'll get the hang of it.

My account name is Mikolove. MSG me in game, I'll be on at nights during the week. Let's get a TG division up and running boys!
