Anyone miss WWII games?

Maybe its just nostalgia, but I see all these shooters that are flooding the market MW/BO, BF, Crysis, MoH etc...and they all feel stale now. I have a hard time getting into any of these games (except for BF3). Even when there were a ton of WWII shooters, I enjoyed most of them. BF 1942 and CoD2 are still one of the best online games I have ever played and the campaign of Brothers In Arms RTH30 was legendary. If not a completely new game I would still love a new BF 1942 game done with BF3 tech. So anyone else miss the WWII theme or is it just me?

panzer general is a game i always miss

Not really because before modern warfare games people were saying 'there's too many WWII games'. Go figure. biggest_loser

I want some WWII shooters with modern tech. Something a bit slower paced like RO2 but has the destruction and scale of BF3. That would be awesome.

I only miss WW2 in flight sims and perhaps tactical sea battles. On the ground? Nope.

I still remember the old clanmates from Cod etc. Good old days... Yes I miss them.

I do. They make me feel sort of like I'm really there, and most modern shooters are too generic for that.

Just coming out of a whole decade's worth of WWII games, I still don't miss them. Unfortunately, now all the shooter game companies are giving us another whole decade's worth of modern warfare games. You all (pc and console gamers) keep buying this stuff on day one at full price, so they keep selling the same stuff.

Gone are the days when developers used imagination to create games with unique and varied levels. With all these games set in only one time period, all they have to do is make levels of real places and they are done. No imagination required.

Okay, did you also take into consideration the hundreds of modern shooters that range from behemoth to known, not to mention the, probably, thousands that are not popular, extremely small or F2P?

The technical limitations won't allow you to post all of them on an entire thread, it will be taken down before you manage to write all of them because it'll reach the limit allowed for posts.

Really, WWII shooters only have just 7 popular series, a few notable names and some other mediocre towards terrible titles? it's actually a lot worse than I wrote it seems, not the other way around, you're also posting quite a lot of games that were made exclusive to certain platforms (CoD mostly, you should have kept it simple, CoD 1, 2 and an expansion).

I did however, forgot to mention MoH, it together with BiA and CoD made WWII popular for a few years then disgusted people with its mediocrity (BiA and MoH, especially MoH).

Who cares about the quantity? BIA, CoD2, BF 1942, MoH AA are better than any modern shooter to come out (CoD4 comes close though)....and yes the sequels got old but with today's new tech, even a remake would be incredible.

Ah Original COD days, where you couldnt shoot through walls and everyone didnt have fancy weapons with lasers attached to them, oh dear god what have you become!

Battlefield 1942 still beats any BF game that has come out since (in my opinion).

Yes i still very much miss them. Cant stand all these modern day or futuristic games.

BF 1942 has that comic book approach to WWII. Everything is so exaggerated in one direction or another. It's great because of that.

not rly, i was sick of every single fps comming out being in ww

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault had so many awesome maps and gameplay. Iron sights... BOOM!

No one is talking about replaying those games, that's why I want new WWII games or remakes with new engines...and quantity isn't a big deal as it's not like you ONLY play WWII games, atleast I didn't. I played the good ones that I have listed above and would enjoy some more quality ones and not play a medicore game just because it's in WWII.

Oh I understood it wrong, no, I wasn't saying we need a lot of games, just one or two quality WW2 FPSs every few years. As for FPSs in general, TPSs too, there's pretty much just one single title every two years that I enjoy a lot, no matter the theme, modern warfare is used in every FPS and TPS devs make these days, but the theme doesn't make the good or bad quality of the game, for that reason I never wanted more WW2 games, I want more WW2 quality games.DanielDust

Agreed...good modern warfare games are pretty rare now though. Nothing really surpassed CoD 4, BF3 is okay but it still feels too "consolized". I don't think we will see that high quality of a game until the next gen of consoles. Almost every developer is trying to cater to the console market and when your lead platform is a 6-7 year old hardware...you can't really expect much.

no

I would like some WWI games.

I would like some WW2 games that aren't FPS shooters. Maybe a stealth game or a naval strategy game. WW2 FPS are way over done, I am looking forward to Medal of Honor 2.

I just playes SE V2 at my friends over the weekend so nope.

Yes, I want WWII to become the new "modern" theme, but it will be hard because of people like this: [QUOTE="biggest_loser"]Not really because before modern warfare games people were saying 'there's too many WWII games'. Go figure. DanielDust

I remember that people were sick of WW2 in the early 2000s, well before the CoD games started becoming popular.

How does it compare to the 1st one?

Passion Leads Army is an upcoming WWII game but is from China's point of view
