Whatever happened to WW2 games?

Do you like online or single player stuff?

 

I play Heroes & Generals and War Thunder. Both are free to play. No single player at all in H&G though.

I started out online with the original Call of Duty, which I played the hell out of. I also loved the Medal of Honor games and Call of Duty games on the PS2. Then Brothers in Arms came out and took it to another level.

WWII sims ended when programmers were able to shoehorn all the glitzy technical stuff into the GUI to keep the twichy eyes and fingers moving at all times unfortunately. I still would rather start up another Call of Duty session throwing potatoes at scarecrows dressed up as Nazis before getting tossed into Stalingrad than have all the computer aided screens and stuff all over..

To expand on my earlier post, an RPG set in WWII, modeled after a Fallout/Elder Scrolls/Dragon Age would be the poo. I doubt you could have the same depth to the game and crazy amounts of missions, but it would be fun.

 

Nice idea. Missions based on spying, sabotage could be cool.

WWII Fps was my poo back then.

I was way into MOHAA especially online. Was also in some tournaments and leagues playing with a clan. We played BF1942, MOHAA expansion packs, COD etc but I will always remember Brothers in Arms, me and a few guys ran a fan site for that game before it came out. It soiled any respect I had for Ubisoft.

We tried to get interviews, previews etc and had a pretty decent forum and site going and they either ignored us, or when they did give us stuff it was either completely different than how the actual game was or just flat out lied. I was so hyped for that game, and was so disappointed it was the last WWII Fps game I got super hyped for. I lost interest in about a week into that game.

Problem was every one was making FPS WWII games back then. It was oversaturated, you had EA bled the poo out of the MOH series (surprise surprise) BF had 1942 and its expansions but went to Vietnam etc and continued to today, you had mods Red Orcastra, RTS games everything. You can thank Saving a Private Ryan for this boom but it died around 2004-2006

Could always play this: http://www.battlegroundeurope.net/home

 

All online WWI game that has been around for probably 10-15 years now. They've made massive updates to the game though, so the graphics, physics engines, and everything else has evolved and gotten better over time. The map is half scale of Europe and it is probably the most realistic war game ever made.

 

Entire cities are destructible. Each "game" can last months, although some have been as short as 10 days.

 

Contains infantry, navy, and air force. Really cool game, I just don't have a good enough PC to play it.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      THE WALKER BACKGROUND Here is where this gets weird.  Walker is a serviceable LT who could benefit from Gilbert's experience and coaching.  However, he is known for below-average run blocking and frequent penalties.  As you know, a penalty from a LT is a drive killer. A former 7th round pick, Walker has outperformed expectations, but he still ranks around the middle of the pack when compared to other tackles.  Having said that, it seems as if the Panthers are banking on Walker for a year and will then make a decision on Ickey.  In Green Bay, Walker was the starter, but the Packers weren't exactly sold on him. While most people think the oft-injured David Bakhtiari retired in 2023, he really wanted to keep playing.  He was released on March, 11, 2024.  Walker stepped in and took the reserve LT job from Nijman in that 2023 season, but they were close--probably because Nijman was more of a swing OT.  However, Nijman was a free agent in 2024, so the Panthers signed him just a week after Bakhtiari was released, leaving the Packers only Walker to play LT.  A month later, the Packers drafted a LT in the first round, Jordan Morgan out of Arizona.  Most Packer fans believe that Morgan would have beat out Walker for the LT job in 2024, but he had some shoulder injuries and went to IR after 6 games. In 2025, when the Packers had an injury at G during the season, instead of putting Morgan in at LT for Walker as planned, they played Morgan to guard because Walker can only play 1 position.  The Packers currently project Morgan back to LT for 2026, which is probably why they did not seek to retain Walker, at least in part. Based on this history, it is safe to say this: Walker is better than Nijman. We have the benefit of them being on the same team in a direct competition to help us see that. Walker is probably closer to Ickey, except for the penalties.  That bothers me a lot.  Bryce sucks when we get behind the sticks, and a run-first offense with a poor run-blocking LT is not ideal.   Regardless, I think Ickey and the Panthers find themselves in limbo right now, so the Walker deal comes at a perfect time for the GM.  Gilbert, perhaps, can work on the penalties and maybe a TE like Tremble can help offset the run blocking issues, so maybe we can actually stay the course at OT.  Maybe we do not draft a LT--maybe we draft a RT to groom behind Moton.  Maybe we draft a C.  At LT, the Panthers do not want to overreact, especially if Ickey returns to form or Walker demonstrates improvement.  Depth is certainly a concern, but a solid RT can be that depth.   I doubt the Panthers draft a LT in rounds one or maybe two.  It seems we have bigger needs at Will LB, DT, TE, and maybe S.

      THIS! IF we go offense at 19, it should be the trenches, which is no longer a pressing need with Waler's signing. 3 biggest needs in 2026, IMO, are DT, FS, ILB. We need to upgrade our starters at those positions and I expect anyone rafted at 19 to start immediately. I could rationalize OT (right or left) or CB since we're an injury away from a severe drop off AND have huge offseason concerns at both next year. Unless Bryce plays a lot better, I want to upgrade QB next year so I could get behind locking in a 2027 starter this year if the right guy is there. You COULD argue NCB and TE are positions where we need to upgrade our starters, sure, but not at 19. Both positions can still be upgraded on day 2.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By 45catfan · Posted

      He's firmly a second rounder and I don't think we would go that high for a TE this draft.  Third?  Possibly. I mean Rhule drafted Tremble in the third round who clearly was just a blocking TE.
