TheFuriousWombat:
It shouldn't, but judging by the fact that I could sit here for an hour typing out the names of FPS games set in WWII without referring to anything but the games I already know about, I'd say that sadly it is. It's just such an easy time period for developers to work with I guess.

Two Reasons:
1. The Japs make the games
2. We have romanticized (sp?) the European Theater to the point that it's almost fiction.



--- Quote ---Very very few are set during in the Pacific area. I think a Pacific WWII game would be a very nice change of pace. Same with Africa. We need more games (not single levels, actual games) set there. Those two settings would certainly rejuvenate the WWII FPS genre a bit.

True, I can only think of two Pacific WWII games off the top of my head, both were really well done IMHO. 

Africa is part of the European Theater, technicaly, so you have to lump it in with the rest of it.  Plus, the only "good" battles in Africa were with Paton yelling obscenities at the Germans and the English.  And the game would have to center on a Tank commander, or Patton and Montgomery.  Although, a multiplayer version of that could be fun... "I READ YOUR BOOK! Ha-ah!"

Sure some ofthem were good, but we really really don't need so many. I think I meant more along the lines of "Battlefield 1942 clones should not be a genre."

Bunnyman:
All this chatter about 'different' WWII games and no mention of Turning Point?

Yikes.  It's right up your alley.
