Heroes & Generals
Heroes & Generals is Reto-Moto's WWII "mass participation" MMOFPS, where individual first-person battles across infantry, tanks, and aircraft feed into a large-scale persistent strategic war map; the official service closed in May 2023 after TLM Games' acquisition, but fan groups restored working server builds starting in 2024, with a further "Sunrise" revival in June 2026.

Why you might like it
- A genuine persistent-world MMOFPS — individual battles feed into a large-scale, ongoing strategic war map shared by everyone.
- Lets you play as infantry, tank crew, fighter pilot, or a general making strategic decisions, all affecting the same war.
- Fan groups have kept the game alive with restored server builds since the official shutdown, including a 2026 revival.
Things to consider
- The official Reto-Moto/TLM Games service closed in May 2023 — what's currently playable runs on fan-restored servers, not an official live service.
- Fan-run revivals can be less stable or feature-complete than the original official service was.
- Its WWII vehicle-combat FPS core plays very differently from fantasy-themed MMORPGs.
