Firstly, I’ve played this game on and off for many years.
If the year was 1995, this game would be EPIC.
The only reason this game still exists, is it’s the only MMOFPS with a 1/2 scale map of Europe in a WW2 setting.
That’s why I come back to it every now and then when they patch it.
And every time I come back, the game reminds me how bad it is.
The overall feel of the game is unacceptable by today’s standards.
The company doesn’t show the current server population, which would be useful in gauging whether or not to login. I suspect the reason is ~50 player population. The large map MMO capability does not make up for outdated, clunky, underpopulated, unrealistic.

A very unquie and enjoyable game … but… Recently , this game has become unstable and for alot of players ‘un-playable’ with very frequent ctd and cthl issues.. Play at your own risk but would be better to wait until the next patch.

Battleground Europe has come along way since its release in 01. Multiple new aircraft, mortars, and wide variety of paratroopers have increased the fun. There is a new update arriving soon, v1.30.

For best results remember that there is a steep learning curve, looking at the map is the best way to find a battle, and try squad play. Lone wolf may be fun, but 20 friends on a coordinated attack is very exciting, fun and can have some favorable results.
