  1. Anyone who is into WWII games, or who feels capable of leading troops into combat, should give this game a try...with all the improvements being made the score could easily jump to 87/100.
  2. A great game for the soldier while in reserves or the history buff but for the everyday gamer it may be too technically challenging with two little reward.
  3. One quintessential problem plaguing WWII Online is its incompleteness.
  4. There are certain novel features and innovative efforts present, but they cannot overcome an annoying patch requirement, clunky interface, multiplayer instability, and an unfriendly gaming environment.

    WWIIONLINE is the only game I know of where a bullet is actually a bullet, not an estimation of a projectile with probabilities. Is this quantum physics? I hate quantum physics. Similar game mechanics are found in games like Oblivion where you raise your shield it actually blocks weapon swings or projectile, not a percentage to block and probabilities.

    The physics, realism and energy deserves a perfect score, the graphics are dated, and so is Capture The Flag dated. Seriously guys we've been playing Capture The Flag since the mid 1990's, time to move on and I don't mean people randomly spawning behind me like in COD.

    This game requires that you have at least 1Gig of ram a 2.2 ghz system, even with that the FPS is very very poor, you cannot be a lonewolf in the game as you are directed by other players as to where you will participate. The CTD rate is absolutely incredible, and you get all of this for the initial box cost and a 15 bucks a month. Dont waste your money on this stinker. Expand

    This whole series along with Eastern and Western front were the worst games ever produced, from lackluster play, to shoddy programming and bugs galore, dont waste $5 at a second hand store on these... was really excited about the prospect of a age of empires type game here, it was just plain horrific.
