WWII games are overused and overabused. virtually the same product every time a new one hits the shelves. i like modern war (and future war for that matter) because u have room to expand ur imagination when creating the game, and is not limited to what history tells us.
I love WWII shooters. It's my favorite time in History. But not all WWII shooters are created equal. Any Medal of Honor since Rising Sun was horrible, CoD3 was bad and i expect the same from World at War (treyarch is plain terrible).
But CoD2 was amazing, same with all the Brothers In Arms, and the early of the Medal of Honors.
I would like to see some fresh takes on WWII however, perhaps a game that focuses more on the Soviet front, like the early levels of CoD2, or maybe the Allies invasion of Italy. I would also like to see a game that allows you to play as the Axis powers just for the sake of seeing something different but that will never be made.
I prefer FPS set in modern times. I can't stand a WWII shooter anymore, I think the last one I enjoyed was Medal of Honor:Frontlines. But I don't mind if it's like an alternate thing going on like Resistance.

You know what you're saying, sounds like something i would say
one of he main reasons is like people say its over used and its always in france and fighting the germans with the same tatics with i know in the back of my head. i like world war 2 games but thats what the ps2 was devoted to. world at war could really make or break world war 2 games.
I like both WWII and present day shooters. Personally, I haven't played enough of WWII shooters. Back when I had my Ps2 and Xbox, most of my games were sports related.
I love ww2... Cod1 > cod4 anyways i like modern and futuristic aswell... And people who say they have overkilled ww2 games..to a degree ye..but they've done the same with modern and future. halo anyone?
i don't know, can't really pick what to vote, i like present and future based FPS shooters. I just think and i'm sure alot of people can agree with me on this, WWII games are just over done. Don't get me wrong, i'll play them but i just prefer the other two.
I already posted this in another thread, but I think that a lot of it comes down to the bandwagon. Media outlets started saying that there were too many WWII shooters, and as a result tons of gamers started yelling and crying about WWII being "overplayed" either to seem in the know or because they've been convinced by GS or IGN or whichever. Honestly, the fact that people are STILL saying WWII is overplayed is a bit much, considering how there are already a lot fewer WWII shooters these days compared to back when the media outlets started complaining. Most websites/magazines aren't even complaining about CoD 5 anymore, and yet gamers still refuse to get off the hatewagon. Already Treyarch has said this will be their last WWII game and God knows when or if Gearbox will make another BiA. Yet I bet when footage etc of a new Medal of Honor game comes out, ppl will still be saying "too much WWII lawl! More modern combat plz." Of course, modern combat is already growing and will be saturated by that point....but ppl won't hop on THAT bandwagon until media outlets start grumbling about it.
The problem is that is has being overused. How many times do you have seen D-day, or paratroopers, or the french country side in those games? Call of Duty 1 was the best because it actually felt fresh (even though it was not the first WWII FPS).
And about your question, I prefer future/sci.fi FPS, because they (the good ones) use a lot more imagination in both weapons and settings...
It has been way overused! Don't worry though we'll be having the same conversation in 15 years time about why every1 is hates the iraq war, and we'll all be like its been done to many times!
I like the ww2 style no red dot, no lame martyrdom, and nothing to save your life but your own actions. I still play my BF1942 all the time, it's just too much fun.
