| The Ghost of RubangB said: When you're making a war game, you want 2 things: 1) Guns that shoot fast. 2) A war that makes Americans happy. World War 2 is the only one that fulfills both criteria. World War 1 would fulfill point 2 but not point 1. Vietnam would fulfill point 1 but not point 2. It really is the only option. Which is why it's milked to death and many people are sick of it. There's really only one way around it... aliens, lazers, and space marines, oh my! |
If the guns in the war didn't shoot fast enough, there were always other solutions. You think the Battle of Gettsyburg would have been won by the north if the 20th Maine hadn't Chamberlain called a bayonet charge? Nah! I'd love to see Wiimote bayonet and rifle controls. There are a lot of possibilities to innovate in the genre.
And you're forgetting about Korea and the Gulf War. Both were, okay...in the eyes of the public.
