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.

I would love it. World War II was the single most epic war the world has ever seen. And with World War I being too simple as far as fighting tactics, a solid WWII game would be great! CoD WaW had the right idea, just needed tweaking.
