Would you welcome back new or even old ww2 FPS

I know every now and then a new WW2 games does come out, and everyone complains a lot about the era being over done, but I would love to see older, and new ww2 games on todays engines. The first call of duty and the expansion united offensive are still the best shooters I have played. Now that we have much better hardware and the engines these games are built on are getting to be pretty amazing I think it would be worth it.

WW2 shooters are my favorite by far. The idea of a futureistic shooter like crysis is just too.. far fetched? for me.. I would love to see developers go back to the ww2 theme.

i am welcoming one back. enemy front looks like a great successor to day of defeat source

I would love to see a BF1942 remake on the frostbite engine. Instead we will most likely have Bad Company 3 being the next BF, I like Battlefield much more when it constantly switched settings. Now it has been modern setting, then modern setting and most likely a modern setting now...

I would also love to see WW2 shooters that focus on aspects of the war we haven't see yet like offering us a Japanese or German campaign. There are so many battles we haven't see in games yet while we have seen the normandy beach landing a dozen times. Yeah I know it was important but a lot of battles were.

But do I miss WW2 shooters ? Not at all, I play Red Orchestra 2 almost daily and thats a great FPS set in WW2. Only shame is that it doesn't have a singleplayer campaign.

Totally agree. BF1942 on the Frostbite engine will look sick. I've really missed the WW2 FPS era. At least they had quality to them compared to these modern warfare games (in general).

check out heroes and generals. its currently in CB and i really think it has potential.

Yup would make a nice change, getting so bored of Moden warfair clone after clone.

Yep. I never actually got tired of them, to be honest. I think it's an interesting era, and I'm sad to see that it was pretty much replaced with modern combat.

Still have RO2, but not too many people play that now and it's pretty rough around the edges.

I would kill for a WWII game with modern graphics. Something like Brothers in Arms with the Frostbite 2.0 engine.

Something a bit more realistic and tactical with the dynamic environments of BF3.

RO2 just doesn't fit the bill. The world feels constrained compared to BF3.

I had no problem with the WW2 setting, but I would have liked to see other theatres of that war explored, including the Burma campaign.

But at the same time, I'd like to see other conflicts from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century explored in games, such as the Crimean war and World War 1. The Korean war might also be a good setting, as many of the weapons were similar to WW2.

I'm just not too fond of modern weapons, and I'm tired of all the modern warfare games that have flooded the market. There are far more 'modern' combat FPS than WW2 shooters anyway.

Bring back the WW2 shooter! I love the era and setting and its even got the ultimate badguys!

Play Red Orchestra 2.

Play Red Orchestra 2.

I do all the time :D I love it

I would like someone to tackle World War 1.... FelipeInside

The game would be very boring.

I'd love to see a new quality WW2 shooter, still love CoD 1&2. just please make it European Theatre, I am utterly done with anything pacific related...

Depending on what region of the world it was fought in. There wasn't just the trenches.

In genral the weapons were boring, i'm not trying to sound disrespectful but it just wouldn't suit a video game in my opinion.

I think a good Total War WW I game could be made. FPS would be tricky.

agree, but thers plenty of other time periods I'd like to see the Totar War team do first (Westeros and Middle Earth being the top two :) )

Those would be sick but it seems Creative Assembly is hell bent on historical accuracy so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I want another single player shooter like Return to Castle Wolfenstein.... I might just go play that now.

Not sure why people say that every time WW1 is brought up. It'd be the equivalent of making the middle east conflicts interesting, despite in reality them being utterly boring as well.

Nah

I'm sick of WW1 WW2 Vietnam Cold War etc

Spent my whole childhood watching Dirty Dozen, Tour of Duty and bad Chuck Norris movies.

I'm all about the post-apocalyptic. Fallout, Cyberpunk kind of stuff.

Or maybe modern.

I'm sick of war games in general. They just glorify war and the old order.

"The president has been captured! C'mon men let's save the President!"

Yeah no, f*ck the president.

I'm with the people. Deus Ex style.

no i want future warfareJigglyWiggly_

I want that too, but I would like some WWII shooters as well.

I did, and it looks great.

Red Dead Redemption takes place in the early 1900s and the weapons aren't boring.

agree, but thers plenty of other time periods I'd like to see the Totar War team do first (Westeros and Middle Earth being the top two :) )

BlackDevil99

Check out Third Age: Total War. It's a mod for Medieval 2

"The president has been captured! C'mon men let's save the President!"

Yeah no, f*ck the president.

ZombieKiller7

Are you not a bad enough dude to rescue the president ?

You're not serious with that comparsion are you?

Not for me. I think WW2 is the most overused setting in games. Its like fighting the same fight over and over. D-day, Battle of Normandy, etc. I just got tired of M1 garands and nazi soldiers. I'm actually thankful that Battlefield, CoD, and Medal of Honor moved on to modern day war.

I really miss all the good WW2 shooting games I grew up playing on my POS PC in HS.

i want a retun to fps's tbhat make 0 sense. no ligc to em. f story in-game. f cutscenes. give me a gun a map and some enemies and im set.

Anyone else with me on the Golden age of WW2 FPS Gaming? Medal of Honor Allied Assault and expansion packs, the first Call of Duty and BF1942. Those were amazing online games. Especially the first COD. Probably my favorite online shooter ever.

so much fun with cod1

RO2 is nice though

but ww2 is so overdone now

You're not serious with that comparsion are you?

HyperWarlock

Of course I am. I'm not saying a WW1 game should have lassos mind you. I'm saying that that time period did have interesting weapons.

It wasn't all Mausers and Lee Enfields you know. Check out WW1: Source. A mod for HL2 that focuses on WW1: it has some interesting weapons too.

As a single WW1 soldier amongst millions of others the weapons were as cheap as possible and very standard. Red Dead Redemptiion focuses on you as the single hero with all of the best stuff. Also RDR is set in quite a glamorous time period whereas there is nothing glamorous about WW1

And most soldiers in WW2 had K98s and M1 garands ... doesn't mean those are the only weapons we see in WW2 games either.
