been playing it sense 2001, the ground game is awesome, infantry, armor, feildguns, AT guns, you play the game by capturing towns on the war front, not with cartoon troops but with other players who cap flags thru out the towns, they also have Planes but they are far from the AH flight models, i play because of how fun the ground war is, blowing up tanks with a sapper (engineer) or snipin enemy infantry, or blowing up bridges lots to do on the ground, i would try the free 2 weeks and go from there they just did a major game update and the game went live in china, so theres alot more players now, its fun  :aok

Wow, that must be a recent change, it was still $20 before the recent overhaul.

Might have to go check it out...haven't even looked at it since it first started.

I would have tried it already if they didn't want a CC for a "free" trial.

Ive always paid 14.95 sense Ive started playing 9 years ago, there is a 19.99 onetime charge for a CD Key( if you didn't buy the retail version) then 14.99 a month i don't know why you were paying 20, like i said i love the ground game, tanking around with tons of cover, but you cant get to comfy or a sapper will sneak up on you and blow you and your tank to shreads, Infantry is a blast you can choose rifleman, grenadier, light Smg , sniper, sapper i think 2 other classes also, AcesHigh has them beat hands down with the Air Combat, plane set, flight model, Battleground Europe has the ground game candy for sure, man if you could combine both  wow what a game

If AH2 didn't offer a free trial without having to enter my CC info I wouldn't have tried the game, there would have gone my 6+ years sub.

AH and Bad Company2 are the only two computer games i play, how over my head would world of tanks be for me? Is it just point and shoot or lots of steps and commands my under powered brain is going to need to remember. gonna try anyways but just looking for a heads up. Thanks!

Back to WW2Online

Is the ground war that good? Looking for a WWII ground war game and this seems to be what i'm looking  for. Is this a game you can run around solo kinda like AH but still help in the fight? Thanks.

Game play mechanics aren't any different than BC2 but with historically accurate tank models with massive tank battles in urban and open country maps.  Seen a few active and ex-AHer's playing as well.

If you get in the game playing allied side, look me up, im Skyfallr.


Its an awesome ground combat game. however, in air to air its a retarded joke.

Air to Ground is in my opinion more fun (not better in terms of simulation) than aces high because in ww2ol a ground support plane that does his job right has a massive impact in the outcome of a battle.. whereas in AH its merely a side show.
