Would you buy it?
I personally would love to see a new game come out on next gen that takes place in WW2! Every game is going towards the futuristic space age advanced laser beam pew pew pew, which is fine, BUT... I miss having a game like this that is a gritty, storm the beaches, and kill some [url=http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law]-godwinslaw!-[/url] ass holes with your m1! Anyone else feel the same way?
EDIT: Here was an idea I had and posted to someones response... This seems to be a common theme in the posts I'm reading.
We've had games where we could play at the soviets, but I can't think of a game where we were actually the Germans or Japanese etc... Maybe a story where you play as a character from the Americans, British, and other Allies armies. THEN play as a character from the Germans, Japanese, etc.. then have them all collide somehow and you decide ultimately what there fates are. That would make for some really tough calls and really bring you into the game on a personal level, making your gut wrenching decisions.

Absolutely! I get that a while back the market was over saturated with WW2 games, but I think they can/should make a come back. In my opinion modern military shooters are kind of boring settings. I know we sort of "romanticize" WW2 and that makes the setting more interesting; but I find it cool because it's a setting/time period we're not from. The guns are, mostly, interesting and unique as well. CoD4 was a breath of fresh air in a genre that was typically dominated by WW2, but for the preceding years it seemed as if a lot of military shooters followed suit.
