World War II Online, commonly referred to as WWIIOL or WW2OL, is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter computer game (MMOFPS) set in 1940-42 World War II Europe. It's a combined arms war simulation that immerses the player in an unforgiving, action-packed 3D and surround sound environment. A player can command or crew a variety of accurately modeled aircraft, armored fighting vehicles and naval vessels or fight as a foot-soldier with a variety of infantry weapons. The game is played in real time along-side or against other players as German, British (UK) and French forces in a 24/7 persistent world. Command structures and missions provide strategic and tactical layers while ranks provide a RPG layer by demonstrating leadership roles. WWIIOL made history as the first and still the only game of its type covering a ½ scale map of Western Europe with accurate, vintage 1940's era virtual computer generated military models and terrain.

Original Release


After a lengthy closed beta stage, WWIIOL went live on June 6, 2001 under the campaign title Blitzkrieg. The release was timed to coincide with the anniversary of the D-Day: Operation Overlord invasion of Normandy.

The first sortie for WWIIOL was a controversial and admittedly disastrous beginning for the game, largely because it was rushed out to stores while still in a beta state. Opinions are split on whether this was due to financial problems at Strategy First (the original publisher) or because of overly optimistic reports from Cornered Rat Software (CRS - the developer) on the state of the code. CRS' public position is the former due to Strategy First's haste to get it on store shelves. Beta testers under non disclosure agreements repeatedly warned CRS that the game was not ready for release.
