More Than Just An FPS More Than Just An MMO

WWII Online: Battle Ground Europe is so much more than a First Person Shooter (FPS) game. It is a game in which tactics, strategy and command all play a vital role - From the tactics you'll need to employ to be successful as a rifleman, to the strategy employed by High Command.

More than any other MMO, we believe WWII Online: BGE puts you in charge. In our game world, it is you who direct the course and direction of game play.

In our world you must bring your FPS and your MMO game talents; because your tactics, strategy and command attributes will be vital to the success of your team.

High Command

Each side in WWII Online BGE has a Command (HC) structure.

  • HC sets the strategy and objectives for a campaign

  • HC is responsible for the deployment of its forces

  • HC is run solely by players

  • With sufficient training, any one can become part of the leadership structure

  • Officers in the leadership are rotated on a regular basis, giving everyone who wants to, the chance to shine in command

It is this player-controlled setting of strategy - the tactical side of WWII Online: BGE – that sets the game apart from the average WWII FPS game. In this MMO game, not only are FPS skills a requirement, but leadership, planning and tactics play equally important roles.

As an MMO game you can expect there to be many players participating in the HCs. Forming a tightly knit group, dedicated to serving the game-community.

Setting Targets

High Command decides where the next attack will be focused. Making the right decision is paramount. Just as deciding on the correct target can allow your side to moved forward, so selecting the wrong target can be a big setback.

Supply Movement and Disposition of Forces

High Command is responsible for deciding where Divisions and Brigades should be deployed. They are responsible for moving these entities as the campaign progresses, ensuring the right equipment is in place, to carry out their orders.

If the correct kit is not available and in the right place, it may give the enemy the chance to break out.

  

Tactics and Strategy

From the overall strategy of a campaign, to the tactics required to win a particular battle; this game lets you participate at all levels of the chain of command.

Officers in Charge and Mission Leaders help set the tactics used in the field. Their orders and ability to communicate help to dictate the outcome of a battle.

Without the correct tactics, no matter how dedicated the players, victory will not be achieved.

Desk Bound

But in this MMO game these commanders do not always sit behind a desk; they need FPS skills too! They are often be found in the heat of battle; in command of their troops, driving trucks, leading a column of tanks. Doing whatever is necessary to help their side to victory.

And so, not only is a leader in the field; a leader is often killed in the field too! Much satisfaction – and often damage enemy assaults – is derived from taking out the enemy's leadership.

In our world you must bring your FPS and your MMO game skills – Because your tactics, strategy and command skills will all play a vital role.
