A game that has stood the test of time so far would be World War II Online. It is now coming upon its sixth birthday later this year. This is quite an accomplishment in its own, but how did they get there? They are not the biggest development team, but they are dedicated to the furthering of the game. This has really furthered the game and the community support behind the game.
In the game a person can play for any either the allied or axis side in the European theatre of war. In the a person can choose from one if three services that are available to play in game. They are army, air force, and navy. For each service a person get his own personal rank that he will gain through acquiring points during missions after certain objectives have been met.
Overall the game play has come a lot way since the release back in 2001, but there are some improvements in the works to make it even better. As it stands now each side has attack objectives that the High Commands of each side that determine what cities will be attacked.
Once your in game though and start to fight you will quickly realize that this game is not a spawn and kill kind of game, but instead its a methodical battle of brains. To win each battle each side needs to be able to out think and out maneuver their opponents with positioning and fire power. This does take some time, but for those who like to get into the action quick CRS has developed a mobile spawn or better known in game as an msp to get soldiers closer to the battle quicker. This has helped in making battles more fierce and active since its release. Another factor that brings the game play another immersion effect is that the game goes through day cycles allowing for you to fight at dusk, high noon, sunset, and at night. It creates different opportunities on each side during the battles.
When you look at graphics you will see they may be lacking behind most other games that are coming out now. Though one thing they do have to offer in this category is a constant improvement since the release to update the graphics of the game. Once they implement a new graphics engine they will be able to vastly improve on their current graphics.
Sound in game is one of a kind. It is the one thing that you will love about the game. You will hear everything from the roar of the engines on the tanks to gunfire to the planes buzzing overhead. The only thing that could possible be missing is the immersion sounds that some war games have.
This game is a very fun game for people who like the idea of emerging themselves into a World War II environment. Though if you are looking for an instant shooter like Counter Strike then I would defiantly not recommend this game.
Though will all that said the developers are dedicated to the game and to the improvement behind it. The community is a strong one with the will to stay behind the game. It has shown the last five years and will show for years to come.
