What do you think? With all of the WWII based games out, don't you think they are wearing the genre thin? We have MOHAA and expansions, CoD, BF1942, H&D2, and others. Hell, even RTCW took place during WWII.

It's getting old, I wish that people would quit with it for a few years and then build something really realistic and really *****en with a new engine. MOHAA was more then enough IMO. I think that something like a really realistic and graphically intensive game based on the civil war would be cool as hell.
Ya, and even make you go through an animatin of the musket reload process, just to make it more realistic.Quote:

I agree. There's plenty of other wars to make a game from.
imo we need more futuristic games...I'm sick of going back in time...I'd rather bomb something with a plasma bomb or something rather than with some old conventional bombs...
I dont think it os overdone, as long as the stories in the games themselves stay interesting. How abut an FPS (first person samurai):D with stealth like splinter cell and doom3/HL2 lighting.
I know, dont quit my day job.
I don't think it's getting totally old, but there does seem to be a lot of WWII titles out right now. But there's just so many themes you can have for a FPS. It's either current, future, or past war based. WWII was so massive, there's just a lot of content to draw from it vs. other wars.
Ya, but you get the same character models, and all of the campaigns have been covered. The US, Bristish, Germans, Russians, Japanese...they've all been done. What more content can you really draw on? Same thing, just a little different map.Quote:

Well the next big thing is going to be Vietnam, so look forward to a bunch of jungles and drugs.
personally, i love learning about WWII and all the history surrounding the events and the actual events. so any game out (as long as it is well made) i enjoy. i really would like to see them come out with a really realistic one. that would be cool.
Exactly, with sci-fi you have unlimited possibilities. Anything you can think of can be used for the game, since it's in the future/sci-fi, you don't have to worry about being limited by history, and things that actually happened.Quote:

you do have a very good point. i say...why don't they come out with lots of both!!! ;) i'm always up for good games from both times (past and future)! ;) either way...as long as there are games to play that are fun...i'll be happy! :DQuote:

I like the WW2 fps games... they're just getting into the realm of vehicles and aircraft in games. To counter your point about Sci-Fi having infinite possibilities, I say this, HL 1&2 is all you need :)
I'm getting so sick and tired of these WWII games and any war based game at all. I like a few of them, but it's like that's the only type of fps that is being released nowadays. We need more shooters like Half-Life, Halo, etc.:)
