Well if it was an RPG then changing the course of history would kinda kill its "sub-genre" of WW2 purpose, don't you think?
Let's revive the WWII genre

I had to avoid using the term First Person Slasher, or First Person Stabber so it wouldn't still be FPSsketch_zeppelin said:
The thing that turns me off WWII games is the inaccuracies, No america you didn't do absolutly everything all by yourself.
When they give me a playable russian chracter going through the hardship of a soviet winter cooped up in stalingrad or a Norwegian commando stealth game destroying the damn at Telemark then escaping back to unoccupied territory without capture then I'll play them.

Now this is just me, but I always thought that there should be a survival horror set in WWII (no not nazi zombies) Not sure entirely how it would work, but like a paratrooper totally misses his mark and lands in somewhere where some creepy stuff is going down.
The "WWII game" ruined gaming, now we no longer need a storyline in a game, just a command hierarchy and someone to bark orders at us.
There are no motivations to do anything in games nowadays unless your commanding officer is telling you to do it.

Which is either Wolfenstein or Nazi zombies.LobsterFeng said:
That's strange because you didn't want to refer to nazi zombies.
Ugh...and have more unquestionably heroic american GIs mow down german and japanese soldiers by the truckload in some pathetically unrealistic way that will make the average uneducated/retarded gamer think that there was some sort of glory to be found in that war that happened exactly as portrayed in the bloody game. Thanks, but no thanks. The only ww2 game I actually enjoyed was Battlefield 1942, and that was only because the multiplayer allowed for so many vehicles in addition to the forced teamplay.
Here's a ww2 game I would actually play:
First, you pick your country. You are a lowly private in the army of the country you chose. You go through basic training, becoming familiar with equipment and choosing a specialty. The war breaks out, and you fight on the frontlines. The combat is realistic, one hit and you're out, and your story will be over. You are only a single soldier, so your actions will not decide the fate of a battle, but you will be able to protect your comrades. The idea is not to win, but to survive, to go on and continue to fight. You will see the major battles your company has historically been involved in, which will increase replay value. The war will end accurately, and you will not be the one to raise the red flag over the Reichstag, or pilot the Enola Gay. You are a nobody, and your epilog will tell the tale of this nameless soldier, how many of his comrades lived, whether he faced trail for war crimes, whether he died of wounds, or whether he became a hero. The idea is to show that there are no heroes in war, just soldiers following orders.

You should probably try out every Brothers in Arms game. Yes, I do want another WWII game, but that's only because I know a shitton about WWII. I find it very fun to point out the flaws in history of most, if not all, WWII games. However, if you're a PC player, the newest Red Orchestra game is coming out soon (if it hasn't already) AND it's soundtrack is being made by Sam Hulick, the guy who made the Mass Effect soundtrack.
great now you got me hooked on a game that probably wont happen thank you very muchthethingthatlurks said:

In World War 2 464 people received the Medal of Honor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States. So there are heroes in war. And what's wrong with playing as the pilot of the Enola Gay?thethingthatlurks said:
