Top 10 Best WWII Multiplayer Shooters to Play If You Like Hell Let Loose: Vietnam

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam might have changed the environment a bit, but it kept the formula that made the original game a hit, including large-scale battles and a punishing sense of realism that separates it from the average run-and-gun shooter. If that combination of tactical depth and full-scale warfare is what keeps pulling you back in, the good news is that there is more than just one World War II game out there to enjoy.

This list rounds up exactly ten of them, taken from over two decades, from the arcade-style chaos of Call of Duty 2 to the squad-tactics realism of Brothers in Arms, the RTS command of Company of Heroes, and the stealth-driven sabotage missions of The Saboteur. Here’s the full ranking, with a quick breakdown of what makes each one worth revisiting.

10 Medal of Honor: Airborne

Airborne set itself apart from other WWII shooters of its era by letting players parachute into any mission and pick their own entry point into the battlefield. That freedom, paired with a weapon customization system tied to on-the-ground performance, gave it a layer of player agency that was rare for the genre at the time.

Its multiplayer never reached the height of its Call of Duty rivals, but the airborne-assault fantasy still holds up as a fun detour for anyone chasing more WWII combat after Hell Let Loose: Vietnam.

9 Company of Heroes 2

Company of Heroes 2 trades first-person gunplay for real-time strategy, putting players in command of entire companies across the Eastern Front instead of a single soldier. The tension of unit positioning mirrors the tactical decision-making Hell Let Loose rewards, just from a bird’s-eye view. Its multiplayer skirmishes and competitive ladder still draw a dedicated crowd, making it a strong pick for anyone who enjoys the strategic side of WWII combat as much as the shooting.

8 The Saboteur

Built around stealth and sabotage, The Saboteur operates in an open-world occupied Paris rather than head-on multiplayer firefights. It’s included here for players who want a change of pace from constant combat, offering demolition missions and storytelling instead.

The black-and-white-to-color visual gimmick, which shifts as players liberate Nazi-controlled districts, remains one of the more memorable art direction choices in any WWII game.

7 Sniper Elite 4

Sniper Elite 4 leans into precision, with its signature X-ray kill cam turning every long-range headshot into a small spectacle. Its sprawling Italian maps give snipers and stealth players plenty of room to approach objectives their own way, and the co-op and adversarial multiplayer modes add welcome variety.

6 Battlefield 1942

Battlefield 1942 is the very title that essentially built the large-scale, vehicle-driven WWII shooter template that games like Hell Let Loose still draw from decades later. It has everything from tanks, fighter planes, and even naval battleships, creating chaotic 64-player matches across iconic locations like Wake Island and Iwo Jima.

Its influence on the genre is hard to overstate, and it remains a fascinating look at where large-scale multiplayer combat started.

5 Call of Duty: WWII

The Call of Duty franchise was, quite frankly, a bit lost before Call of Duty: WWII made it return to its roots after years of futuristic warfare. The game brought back the boots-on-the-ground combat across Normandy and beyond, with its War Mode standing out for asking teams to complete objective-based missions instead of standard deathmatch, similar to what one finds in Hell Let Loose.

4 Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30

This game has built its identity around tasking players with directing fireteams using suppression and flanking tactics rather than simply charging forward.

That focus on cover, communication, and coordinated maneuvers makes it one of the closest spiritual predecessors to Hell Let Loose’s tactical approach, even though it’s built around a single-player and co-op experience rather than massive multiplayer battles. It’s a must-try for anyone who values strategy over pure reflexes.

3 Company of Heroes

The original Company of Heroes set the standard for WWII real-time strategy, introducing destructible environments and cover-based tactics that made every skirmish feel unpredictable. Its competitive multiplayer scene thrived for years thanks to tight balancing between factions and a satisfying skill ceiling. Like its sequel, it rewards the same kind of positional thinking that Hell Let Loose demands, just filtered through a strategic-command lens rather than first-person infantry combat.

2 Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

Allied Assault is often credited with helping define the modern WWII shooter, delivering a D-Day landing sequence that influenced how the genre approached its most iconic battle. Its multiplayer further built a loyal following of its own, boosted by an active modding scene and expansions that kept new maps and content flowing for years after release.

1 Call of Duty 2

Call of Duty 2 tops this list for good reason. It struck a near-perfect balance between cinematic scale and accessible multiplayer combat, spreading massive infantry battles across El Alamein, Stalingrad, and Normandy. Its objective-based multiplayer modes and wide weapon sandbox held down players at a level that only a few other WWII shooters have achieved since.

For fans of Hell Let Loose: Vietnam looking for a game with a similar sense of scale and chaos, but with faster, more arcade-friendly pacing, Call of Duty 2 remains the genre’s high-standard mark.

From large-scale infantry warfare to strategic command and precision sniping, these ten games cover nearly every angle of WWII combat that makes Hell Let Loose: Vietnam an experience to look forward to.
