WORLD WAR II, global military conflict that, in terms of lives lost and material destruction, was the most devastating war in human history.
In the main, however, the war was fought with the same or improved weapons of the types used in World War I. The greatest advances were in aircraft and tanks.
War games had indicated that victory could be achieved in about ten weeks, which was significant because the Russian summer, the ideal time for fighting in the USSR, was short, and the Balkans operations had caused a 3-week delay at the outset.

 The Slacker's Guide - World War II Online || The Mac Observer
Perhaps not the most lovingly reviewed massively multiplayer online role playing game to grace the platform, World War II Online was able to catch my attention in the fall of 2003 and, even with other games to focus on, it has managed to retain my interest over the years.
Instead, World War II Online places the player in the middle of a 1:3 scale Europe with the task of working with other players to win the war by taking one town at a time by any means necessary with the overall purpose of advancing their position and depleting the enemy's resources.

 Apple - Games - World War II Online
In a sense, that’s the question at the heart of World War II Online: Mac Edition, an ambitious, massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) from Strategy First that recreates the world as it was during WW II.
And the world of World War II Online: Mac Edition is perpetual, which means that the war keeps raging after you log off, so you may be surprised by the current situation if you wait a while before playing again.
You can also take a look at the current issue of the online newsletter World@War, which offers “full coverage of the war as it unfolds.” You can read other soldiers’ tales from the front, find out what significant battles were fought recently, and take a look at casualty reports.

Indeed, the term "simulation" doesn't by itself describe all that World War II Online is trying to be; it could just as accurately (and inadequately) be described as a persistent-world role-playing game.
For those not familiar with the title, World War II Online is a first-person combat simulation that takes place in a massively-multiplayer, persistent world.
In scope, it attempts to accurately recreate a historical theater of World War II, in its entirety.

The overall war is fought by real-life players all over the world, and with so many strategic locations depicted in the game, one side's total victory may take several months.

 IMG Review: World War II Online
In recent years World War II has become a staple of the entertainment industry, countless movies, documentaries and games have been forged from the fires of this conflict, thus, historical accuracy is not something that can be used to gauge anything originated in our current cultural sphere.
The game required hundreds of MB of patches to even be able to get online, and once in, the game still had uncountable bugs and problems, all promised to be fixed in later releases.
Yet, with the recent release for the Mac, Cornered Rat hoped to redeem itself for its past failures, and bring an under-represented demographic of gamers into their fold.

World War II Online takes the idea of the MMOFPS further by introducing a world where a constant war wages on – at all times of the day.
Everyday you can check the home page of the World War II Online website, and a new article will be displayed about the progress of the Allies or Axis, and other somewhat historical events that happened in the game world.
If the end product ends up being as good as it seems like it could be, Battleground Europe could quite possibly be the best FPS (based in World War II at least) to come out for quite some time, moving the genre into new regions.
