:eek:

Now that just looks purdy. Me wanty!!

It does look VERY nice, but I'll honestly have to think twice for buying yet <b>another</b> WW2 game.

Hi,
Wow, that looks very good and very environmental, but why is it always about the Americans? For God's sake, let us play some more Russians or even British! And would it kill a company to develope a German FPS?
*sigh*
Thanks,
Manga

Have you played Call of Duty? If not, why the hell not?! ;) You get to play as the ruskies in it and their missions prove to be the greatest of them all. I'd also like to play as a German but Political Correctedness would disallow that.

Borrrrinnnggggg.... /snore

Please think of original ideas tks

wow that looks cool I am sure my hubby would love that game.

Oh my lord

that's pretty... pretty pretty pretty

we wants it... my precccciiiiooouuussssssss

Looks fantastic from whats shown. I wonder what engine its on.
And I hope they respond to my application :(

I wish some Canadian missions would be avaliable in these games, we were in these wars as well, playing as a German would be great, but like Mr.Deflok said Political correctness will never let that happen.

You mean like Call of Duty?

Edit: Mr.Deflok beat me to it. :D

They could at least do the Pacific theater instead. I agree with Glytch, COD is holding my intrest but im not sure i can do another allies V. german fps agin.

Found some more pics

juno beach 4 life

not to mention blowing the bejeezus out of that Hydronium plant in... Norway?

crap my WW2 knowledge is fading fast

Poor Paul Martin, and they checked the speech and it had Normandy written down, he had a bad brain fart, at least Chretien knew history even if he was hard to understand.

For the love of god!

Cant developers make games other than ones set in WWII... Im sure they're nice and all, but its been done to death...
I WANT FUTURISTIC GUNS!!!! I Want aliens, I want cool tech, I want unbelievable levels...

Alright ..sweet graphics..no another WW2 game..how bout some alternate history WW2 game, not neccessarily Wolfenstein supernatual how bout superscience inestead

Try out Freedom Fighters! It's post WW2 and the Russians won the war, now they've invaded the US! Great stuff.

I agree there needs to be some Canadian missions (hell we were a huge part of the Italian campaign and also played a big part in Europe) but I doubt any publisher would put it in a game. I hope this one has call of duty style gameplay, where you aren't Rambo destroying Nazi Germany single handedly. But the graphics are defiantly something to drool over.

Canadian Missions? Is that the one where you go hide in your igloo, cry about the US invading Iraq and then watch some hockey nite in Canada?

Sounds a lot nicer than being part of a country that is hated by 2/3's of the worlds population.

;)

BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND!

Alright you started it so many things to say so many mods to stop me, I will say this 1 thing and I am sorry grow the fuck up you ignorant piece of shit, my grandfather fought in WW2 you want to tell him he hid in an igloo I fuckin doubt it. I think it's the US crying about invading Iraq now unless you don't watch the news, I live in a house you ignorant (I'll edit myself), and we spell night like that not nite use a dictionary sometime, and like Mr.Deflok said:
thanks for defending my country against these ignorant (edit myself) it's much appreciated.

I wonder what would of been said if I said American missions could consist of unlawfully invading another country, dropping a bomb on 4 friendlies(Canadians), slaughtering a wedding party (Afghanistan), killing hundreds of thousands innocent civillians, forcing democracy down peoples throats could be another, then you could bomb a mosque and to top it off have a firefight in the holiest Shia city (Najaf), sounds like a hit game if it wasn't all real.

wow... bitter at the USA much?

I think he was joking, no need to be INCREDIBLY harsh... we all think it, but let's try to keep the boards civil

in regards to the origional topic:
I agree that this game is going to have to have something special to get me to play it. And I think a game with a Nazi campaign would kick ass.

Hi,
Don't you talk to me about Call of Duty ;). I bought it the day it came out and played it to death. I agree, the Russian Missions beat all, but this is the only game in existence that I know of where you can play as Russians in a FPS game.
If you want Canadian missions, do this:
1) Play any British missions in any game
2) Instead of British, pretend they're saying "Canadians" ;)
Really, Canadians, as well as Australians, New Zealanders, and East Indians (to name a few) were almost identical in combat to the Brits. Canadians fought some separate missions, but for the rest they're about the same, which pretty much makes them boring to game developers' eyes.
PC? As long as there're no missions where you're part of an Einsatzgruppen massacring Polish Jews, I see no problem. The majority of troopers (perhaps Waffen SS aside) fought for much the same reasons as British, Russians, or Americans. That being for their country. I'd love to play a game as Germans and Germans alone, as IMO they are the most interesting part of WWII. Their weaponry and tactics were extremely unique and innovative, making them one of the best developed military powers of their time.

I always find it amusing that Americans played a relatively small role in WWII and yet they always get the glory in Movies and Games (both of which just happen to come from a majority of American creators :)).
Thanks,
Manga

Hi,
If this game is as innovative as it is supposed to be, it'll be mighty fine. Look at this screenshot:

I can just imagine picking off Falschirmjäger Glider teams from afar :cool:.
Thanks,
Manga

If he was joking it was in bad taste, if he wasn't he deserved what he got, and I appologise to the rest of the board for my rant, but there are 2 things I don't take kindly to being bad mouthed, my family and my country.

Still can't wait to play this game, just got into BF Vietnam, and I like it, but structured missions would have been nice, instead of capture the flag.

ok....that looks awesome!:cool:

if you guys wanna play as the germans (like me) then play WWII Online. it was just updated with new terrain and it kicks some arse

Hi,
I've considered WWIIOL, but I did not pick it up for a few reasons. Namely 1) Pay monthly and 2) Crappy graphics.
Thanks,
Manga

here is a taste of how cool the game actually is:

you can command up to 6 guys

the combat is pretty tactical and very difficult so expect a challenge

the levels are as authentic as you can get without breaking gameplay

the game will have roughly 20 levels, each one has its own objectives

there is a wicked tactical view that lets you look from above and scope out the battlefield in a limited range

I hope you guys all buy it
:D

edit : and its not "just another ww2 game" you get to command your guys and that is the key gameplay element(so you must do it well to progress thru the game, this is not some run and gun bullshit. ) also... sci-fi futuristic aliens etc have been done to DEATH, even more so than war games... I think I've said enough

It looks like Band of Brothers if it were made into a good game, your paratroop division is supposed to be full of real characters that have stories and personalities that you actually care for... can't wait to play it :D

well said, this is exactly why i want to play this game

"Please think of original ideas tks"

original ideas? what, like laser rifles or some crap?

"Canadian Missions? Is that the one where you go hide in your igloo, cry about the US invading Iraq and then watch some hockey nite in Canada?"

heh. no, how about fighting for ground no other army, even the "unstoppable americns" could take.


the canadians would be very interesting to play as. prolly wouldnt sell very well in the states...

italy/holland/the hochwald forest/fighting the 12th ss. way cool. not to mention the shittiest equipment of the bunch.
