We've already gotten past WWII. Look at the Tom Clancy series. There are also many war games that take place in ancient times (e.g. Total War series).

Unless by this you mean you'd like to see other games like this one but set in WWI or the Korean War or Vietnam or the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

You bring up a good point, but I think the preoccupation with WWII is its large scale...and its timing: we have many records of the war, the quality and quantity of which is unprecedented. Combine these two elements and you have yourself all kinds of material for video games.

Personally I'd like to see a large-scale high-quality game covering WWI.

Until then (unless there is one I don't know about), I'm looking at this game because I like the multiplayer setup.

I've also played a demo of the Brothers in Arms series and really liked the gameplay. But I wasn't sure if it was sustainable in its enjoyment, so I've yet to pick one up.
