All this hate for Treyarch and the WW2 genre is making me sad. COD3 was one of my first games back on the other console before I got my PS3. Sure it doesnt pass COD4 in graphics or gameplay but it still had the simple fun factor. It would be one of those games that you could just pick up and play and never get bored. I frequently had friends over and unlike COD4 it had online splitscreen which was a blast.

At the time when I got this game it was only $10 which was a steal, I didnt know what to expect but I was amazed at how much fun I was having fun. And isnt that what games are all about?

Today the graphics are subpar, but not the worst. I still play it from time to time and think about which developers will make another true NEXTGEN WW2 game (currently looking out). Right now on my radar is Treyarches COD5 game. From what Ive been hearing it will most likely be WW2. I'll have to see an actual trialer for it and some gameplay to get me interested in it first but from then on ill be playing COD3 on my 360 and COD4 on my PS3 happily until the next COD5 comes out.

But I have one request to Treyarch and that is if this game is WW2 please dont take it to the pacafic, keep it in the Europe please cause killing Nazis never gets old.

Whos with me?

Indeed, there's merchandising to be done! Atleast it'll be something new, because i myself can no longer stand WW2 games...

I will STILL play WW2 games, however they have to be good. Hell's Highway is shaping up nicely. As long as its good, I'll play it. Nothing like Hour of Victory or those damn History Channel games (can someone please stop those). As for Treyarch's interpretation of a WW2 shooter; they're alright, but I wouldn't pay full price for them. CoD3 had its moments, but not enough to dish out $60 for.

They said on Gamespot that COD5 will be on a new front. All the WW2 stuff is just rumoured (although I wouldn't be suprised).

I enjoy WW2 games, but I like when the developers take an extra step to give something new.

It's been done to death. How many times can you fight the Nazis or the Japanese? Comparing these games to the actual war, we've probably beaten the entire axis powers 4 times over by now.

As long as the developer can do something new and (i use this term loosely) revolutionise the genre, im all ears.

Why are we still playing games based on a war which finished more than a half century ago??? And besides that the market is totally saturated of WW2 games that I think I can't stand any new one. C'mon developers, overcome your trauma with this historical event, please...

I'd love to see a fictional WW III game. China vs Russia vs America.

Its just overused. unless they try something different as Insomniac did with resistance, I will just say next. cause WWII is really really boring now. Current war is much better, and they can always use flashbacks like CoD4 to go to past wars. Or they could make one about stories mixed between ages, starting maybe in the Napoleonic wars, then going to WWI WWII Vietnam and finally modern combat.

im really excited for the new brothers in arms game. the first two were outstanding and i really enjoyed its mastery of squad based tactics and using real world strategies- and i can only imagine how much more realistic the new game is going to be.

did you guys see that new trailer on the psn?? its been out online, but it looks amazing in hd.

Actually, I see it more as laziness these days. "Hey we can't come up with any ideas!" "Oh well, let's just make a WW2 game. Can't go wrong with that. Besides, ours will be original thanks to a new BLUE coloured Thompson we've added. It'll revolutionize WW2 gaming as we know it! Like that other company adding a parachute."

HOW COME NOBODY EVER TALKS ABOUT BROTHERS IN ARMS- It was the HIGHEST rated WW2 series ever, and the best sqaud based shooter ever made imo. nobody got squad tactics done better than gearbox.

How about a game where you kill Americans as Nazis?

But then again, sales wouldn't do so good in the states.

I would like to see what Jack Thompson would say about that.

Playing as a German would be interesting though. Or playing as a ***.

I say there are too many futuristic/modern shooters around e.g Haze,Resistance,KZ,Halo,COD4 etc. Bring back WWII!!! COD3 was the best online game i ever played. It had great maps, great vehicles, classes and teamwork>all.
