- Rsix

"The sheer scale of the 24/7 persistent map, the endless tactical possibilities at the disposal to Squad CO's and HC when planning and carrying out an attack. Using the strenghts that only a true combined arms warfare game can deliver, ww2ol delivers all of that and have been since 2001, once you've experienced such an event, only one word will come to your mind; EPIC!"

Our Recent Works

Here's some of what CRS has been doing for WWII Online as of late. Read our current roadmap.

Latest News

Network Maintenance: 1/28/21

XOOMThis Thursday at approximately 6PM Server Time (GMT -8), services will be undergoing maintenance for approximately 2 hours. We are changing out a critical networking switch with a brand new switch - which is really awesome! This will give us increased analytics of all traffic which will help us find any issues within our network that exists. We've cut some that down time already by configuring several things in advance, however since we'll be physically changing the plugs on ports and need to verify everything it'll take a little bit of time to ensure everything is taken care of. 

CRS is always looking for new ways to help improve your experience, thanks for your support everyone!

Both the Allied and Axis Commanders in Chiefs are providing an update from the front lines and the status of Campaign 179 and awarding medals to notable players.  We are also announcing our next in a series of special events.  The next event is "Operation Winter Festival" which will be held on January 30th.  Finally welcome aboard our newest RAT volunteer SIDEOUT.
