- Dre21

"Whether your a grunt, a flying ace, a destroyer captain or a hardcore tanker get ready for the hardest pvp game ever on the gaming world's biggest map with the most heavily armed playerbase on the planet!"

WWII Online is designed a subscription-based game, it is not your typical free to play micro-transaction game.

- 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!"
