I know their excuse is it's the Pacific War, but what about MOH Rising Sun, and BF 1942? 2 games I can think of off the top of my head that involved the pacific front. Also, the American weapons will be exactly the same as any other WWII game. Why can't we have this?
"The Corner Shot APR (pictured) is a hinged gun with the power of an assault rifle, which lets you shoot around corners. How cool would that be?"
"The XM25 Advanced Airburst Weapon System is like a grenade launcher, only with a super-high tech twist. It can be set to detonate accurately without impact. Yup, laser targeting will calculate distance to a target, so you can aim at the structure the enemy is using as cover, fire over it (or past it), then watch as the detonation occurs in just the right place to take out your target."
"The Barrett XM-109 is no ordinary sniper rifle. Try imagining the accuracy of a regular sniper rifle in your FPS, only with the attack power of an Apache helicopter. Yup, the equivalent of a Hellfire missile from Desert Strike in your hands. With a scope on it. That's not just a bang, that's a frikkin' KABOOM. Packing enough punch to destroy even lightly armoured vehicles at 2,500 metres, we reckon we'd save it until we met one of the inevitable racist idiots on Xbox Live."
Frankly a game with some of the stuff mentioned in the article would be loads better
