Paratroopers and Stormtroopers
Strap on your U.S. paratrooper or German Wehrmacht battle dress and get pumped for the adrenaline rush of 36-player PvP action in shell-torn towns and the ravaged battlegrounds of Europe. With purpose-built historical maps designed both for close-quarters action and team-based tactical finesse, this shooter offers a fine balance between playability, authenticity, and realism.
Are you ready to scream for your life?
Focusing on the intensity of infantry action, WWII Online: Chokepoint sets a new standard for immersion. Our 3D voice system will make you feel like a real soldier on the Western Front. Not everyone has their own radio, so if you want to reach your teammate, way off in the flooded fields of La Fière, you're going to have to yell. But watch out, because if he can hear you, so can the enemy!
Make every shot count
With no HUD and only your eyes to help you in the foggy night of the Battle of Eglise, sometimes it might be hard to tell if you've hit your mark. Combined with our realistic damage model, your shots can do more than just kill! From shooting the weapon out of your opponent's hands to slowing down a retreating enemy by going for the legs, combat isn't just about hitting your target. But be careful, some shots may knock your enemies down, but there's no guarantee they're down for the count...
Immersion to the hilt
WWII Online: Chokepoint aims to provide all the ingredients for spectacular and memorable experiences. Feel the tension of parachuting into the unknown and the struggle to find your team. Take part in treacherous urban nighttime firefights to secure Sainte-Mère-Église. Experience the fear, chaos, and joy of capturing the crossing over the Merderet at La Fière. Lay down covering machine-gun fire and rally your friends to counter-attack Foy and its snowy, cold, and death-filled streets and alleys. Clear contested rooms with grenades and the staccato spray of submachine fire. We will make you feel like you were there—because you are there, right in the middle of it.
