You'll sit on a truck for ten minutes while the various infantrymen get their act together and join up. The moreso given that the rest of the players are having the same problems connecting that you are. Trying to get the various players to get together for an assault is an exercise in frustration itself.
In this respect, the game fails to deliver the massive combined arms battles that one would expect.Īnd the lack of cooperation and cohesion is unfortunate. Hell, sometimes you can go around for five or ten minutes before you even see another friendly player. It's not uncommon to have to travel around for fifteen or twenty minutes before you encounter the enemy. Still, while the various servers that are running might be heavily populated, the fact that these players are scattered across a map of Europe tends to put players at a distance. The initial concept of a single server for the whole community may have been too ambitious.
On that score, WWIIOL falls short of expectations. The success of a game like this is proportional to the number of people who are playing at any time.
Better still, some of the game's promised features - persistent scores and rankings for one - seem to be missing altogether. As it is, gamers who have already shelled out $40 for the game have to contend with massive and numerous patches.

You and thousands of other players log on and become infantrymen, tank commanders and pilots in a massively multiplayer environment. For those who don't know, World War II Online (WWIIOL) is the first of the persistent electronic battlefield simulations to make it to release.
