  It's kind of like Saving Private Ryan meets Band of Brothers only this time the Luftwaffe has some airplanes left and the germans
send panthers over to their right and let Caen fall etc etc. and the US Army gets wiped out since that is visually more
intense.

I still remember the hype when the very first call of duty came out, seemed something special back then.  Played the heck out of it and remember how cool it was to use dead cows as cover.  But with each new version , can't seem to get into them...a little too hectic for me.  I am a sucker fior ww2 so not saying I won't buy it, but I have low expectations

I'm so sick of the same crap over and over again. There is such a lack of creativity and ingenuity in the field of mainstream game development these days. It's just like Hollywood. People have forgotten how to write, create good stories and present anything meaningful or resembling something close to the historical experience. It's all about hype, large explosions and over the top action. Nothing tactical, nothing that requires authentic, or sound tactics, etc. I watched 3 minutes of the reveal event and it was a bunch of pretty boy actors talking about what an action packed thrill ride the game is going to be. Give me a break.

That kind of inplausible action works better for me in the near future or sci-Fi setting, but carried over to a historical event, not so much.

I'm sure the game will look great and sound great...but I'm also sure that it will feel stale and boring, like I've been there 8 times before. Wash, rinse, repeat.

I saw this, and this strategy game called "Army General" today.

So not impressed

I bet it will make Battlefield 1 looks historic and realistic :P

Don't know the PC version but CoD WW2 for me is probably the best CoD on console.
