Even if you are using a joystick you will still have to learn a few keyboard commands, but the game is much more enjoyable with a joystick. I recommend using a joystick if you plan on playing in a tank or any other type of motor vehicle the same can be said for all aircraft in the game. The controls for the vehicles and infantry take a bit of practice. If players don't work together they'll find themselves constantly trying to retake towns or get pushed right off the map. The game progresses as the different powers (Axis or Allies) take towns, supply depots, and control buildings. Just remember there are other people out there itching to kill you. Once the game is loaded you're put in first person view and the countryside is yours to drive, walk, fly, or crawl through. Once you've picked what you want to be, the game will load and you will find yourself at a staging area where you can meet up with other players to form a battle plan or check your map to see where you need to go. What is really cool is the option of being able to join other game players and operate a tank as a crew, instead of trying to do everything at once by yourself. You can be a pilot, infantryman, tanker, troop transporter, or artilleryman (more types of weapons and vehicles will become available as the game moves on). The war is constantly evolving whether you're online or not.Īfter picking which country to fight for, you then proceed to the screen that lets you choose which branch of the military you want to play as and what type of character you want to be. Because battles are taking place all the time, even as I write this review, the next time I log on to play the town that I fought so hard to capture just might have been taken back by other people playing online.
I must note that this is an awesome part of the game. After that you will access a map to see where the battles are taking place. You, the player, get to choose which side you will fight for, Axis (Germany, and later on Japan) or Allies (Britain, France, USA, and later on Russia). The game is set in the spring of 1940 when the German army began its onslaught of terror and destruction. If you still don't understand what this game is, think Everquest but with trench warfare, heavy artillery, strafing runs from airplanes, massive tank battles and my personal favorite, the "lone sniper." So grab your combat boots and meet me at the next section, you wet-behind-the-ears recruit - we've got a game to review. Welcome, my fellow gamers, to the new massively multiplayer game called WWII Online: Blitzkrieg, where you and thousands of players from around the world get a chance to see what the WWII front lines were like and maybe even change history a bit by stopping or slowing down the German forces.
