WWII Online: Blitzkrieg

The Good
WWIIOL has many thing you won't find in any other game, but realism is top notch and unmatched. The game is a massively multiplayer combined arms simulation. That is, it includes air, sea, armor and infantry all in the same virtual world. Realistic ballistics. Realistic damage modelling. Realistic ordinance penetration. Realistic simulation of cover and concealment. Realistic dimensions (5000 meter visual range, not 200 meter as typical in video games). Realistic sound (for instance vehicles moving 1km away sound distant to the point of almost being undetectable). If you love simulations (flight sims, tank sims, and so on), you'll be amazed by this game.

The Bad
Most of the things I didn't like about the game are long past. The launch was horrible. Lag, dated graphics, missing functionality, billing problems, you name it, were present when the game was launched in 2001. But since then, all of these issues have been addressed and then some.

If there's anything to not like, it's that the game is not easy to get started with for new players, and this results in a somewhat limited and very talented player base.
