Online War Games

Some top online games are very popular and have gathered a fanatic following, while smaller titles have developed a cult interest as well. However, it is the larger game titles that have captured the interest of most players of online war games.

When it comes to winning the popularity contest, consider:

World War II Online
WWII Online: Battleground Europe is a first person shooter and war simulator MMORPG that thrives in the setting of Europe while World War II is brewing.

While the game is a favorite, some players have voiced their concern. They claim the learning curve is too steep and the pace of play is rather slow. The game also portrays realistic weaknesses and highlights a few image problems. However, developers are working hard to enhance the game and take care of these issues.

Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
Vanguard: Saga of Heroes is another MMPRPG that takes advantage of a fantasyland setting. With big bucks backing production, Sony Online Entertainment funds the developers of Vanguard.

Currently, close to 100,000 players have subscribed to this online fantasy war game, so there is no worry that the servers are packed. The released game still lacks a few things. Players have reported bugs, missing customization options, and failed content for high-level players.

Some believe the game was not fully ready to hit the market when it did. Since not a lot of people gather at the servers, many find it hard to get into the game. Besides the bugs that need attention, Vanguard is a great choice in participating in an online war game with a fantasy undertone.

Americas Army
Americas Army is a well-known online war game that the US Army had a hand in developing when it created the program as a recruitment tool.

Players enter a team based tactical first person shooter environment, which is rather realistic. The U.S. has often criticized the game because of its realism. When playing America’s Army, you become a US soldier and can gain access to the same weapons used by the army.

Some associations have deemed the game as full of violence, as it actually scared people out of joining the army. However, Americas Army is still fun to play online.

Tons of people agree and I especially like the many different weapons you get to try out. While you are always an American in this game, prepare to spread your patriotism.
