Seems to be an good range of options when it comes to "realistic" style WWII FPS games atm.

Im looking to get either Hell Let Loose or Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose has seen an big bump in players since the latest update it seems, i think i might buy that one tonite when i get off work. Might get Post Scriptum at an later point aswell.

Found a couple of what it seems unbiased pretty recent comparison videos of them, but they were made before the latest Hell Let Loose update that apparantly was quite big.





Hell Let Loose 24h player peak : 5,174
Post Scriptum 24h player peak : 1,342

I think those numbers are the deciding factor for me atm, untill Post Scriptum comes out with an big update.

My first match ever in Hell Let Loose, i die alot but i actually got 14 kills, didnt really know what was going on, but it shows the noob experiance of an full match. Was very supriced about the lenght of the games/sessions.

HLL can be confusing, if you can, try and get in a squad that is communicating. Makes it much easier to understand and let them know your new, lots people willing to help you out. My only complaint right now is there are a lot of game crashes caused by the Unreal engine. They're trying to fix it asap and I'm going to wait for that fix. I've had a few great rounds lost to this so no XP.

Gentlemen:

I was wondering if some of you could suggest some good WW2 FPS games? I am finally updating my old, slow computer. My son has already purchased a hot rod rig. Even my grandson is getting into it.

Basically, we are looking for a fun, online game that is focused more towards action rather than the big, strategic win the war stuff. Primarily an infantry game; not WW2 Online with all the attendant hardware.

We know about Call of Duty series. My son doubled his kill rate when he went from the Playstation to the new fast computer.

Although not a WW2 game, we've been playing some America's Army. It has the fast paced action we seek. So something like that maybe?

Appreciate the input.

Was about to post this video below yesterday but didnt think it fitted with the WW2 genre, but if you want infantry in an modern setting then ARMA III is still holding up amazingly well for its age.

And most people on it is really cool if you play on the correct servers.

Heres my session from yesterday on an "semi-milsim" or "milsim-light" or "relaxed-milsim" if you wish  :D, COOP server.

Anyone play Arma 3?  There is also Squad?

Check with Monster. he setup a POTW ARMA III server and the pigs are there every night conquering some place in the middle east. I went on my first mission last night and screwed my slection of key presses. Was trying to heal a piggy who was down in a room by a sniper. Ended up finsihing the taard's job by accident. Man I'm a grreny at ARMA....derp.

If you've got VR - Onward is a ton of fun, especially on the Quest. It's not WW2 but the weapons aren't that fancy.

Project Reality has a WWII mode as well. 

It's an older engine, but free is free.  ;)

Are these games primarily PC or console. At my age trying to use a console controller is an exercise in frustration. Tried many times at my grandkids place.
