Victory is achieved for the Axis with the capture of the French factory cities (Or the much harder rarely tried invasion of England and capture of thier factory cities), For allied victory, the Allies must capture the German factory cities.
Volunteer players that joined the high command (HC) of either side make strategic considerations as to were to attack, and how to best lead their team to victory.
Players participate in the fight over territory control. The infantry, air, and naval all work towards conquering the Western Front during the early years of WWII as Germany invaded Holland, Denmark, Luxembourg and France. Players may choose to fight war between the Axis and Allies as infantry & gun crews, armor, aircraft, and costal naval forces. WWII Online combines many different genres of video games onto one online persistent battlefield. WWII Online: Battlegrounds Europe is unlike any other FPS in that it is a simulation of WWII rather than a small experience of WWII. Players engage in heavily action packed multiplayer matches with an emphasis mostly on action. As for online FPSs it is pretty much the same. In most first person shooters the player blasts their way through heavily scripted events with a focus on the action and less on realism. WWII Online: Battlegrounds Europe is an MMOG (Massively Multiplayer Online Game) that is a mix of a first person shooter, Vehicle combat simulation, and a flight simulator.
