It's been a long time since we played a AAA WW2 shooter. Gone are the days of COD2 or MOH: Allied Assault. It seems today, the popular period to aim for is present and future. The big publishers seem to be scared to re-tread the WW2 path. It seems ever since COD: 4, all 'real-life' shooters have aimed for modern day combat and more recently, theoretical futures.
Personally, I would love to see a brand new Medal of Honor or New Gen Call of Duty game set in the WW2 era. Heck, I would even prefer to see a brand new IP aimed at that time in history. I would love to see what developers could do with new technology. Give us a true, immersive and scary experience and tell a heart touching story (even if the story is not historically accurate).
Is 'modern warfare' getting a bit long in the tooth now? Should we re-visit the path but take a fresh approach?
And now for some nostalgia...
