If you've played through the series, you'll know the ones made by IW are far better than the ones Treyarch made (CoD2 > CoD3). CoD5 is also going to take place in the Pacific Theatre.

WWII games have be done to death.
Not only WWII games, COD games. There are already 8 Call of Duty games in 5 years.

Even Medal of Honor only came out with 7 games in its first 5 years.... :p

Call of Duty
Call of Duty:United Offensive(actually an expansion pack)
Call of Duty: Finest Hour
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty 2:Big Red One
Call of Duty 3
Call of Duty 4.

I count seven, which one am I missing?

So far the best in my opinion have been the combination of Call of Duty and Call of Duty United Offensive. Not even CoD4 has been more fun.

The Nazi Zombies part of it is probably the only plus factor to that game, other then that, it's going to be a complete failure
Never heard of the Wolfenstein series then. Alternate fantasy loosely based on WW2 has been around since the 1950s. Get over it.

The best WW2 game is Forgotten Hope.
Nuff said.

World War II has been milked to death. It's teets have turned to misshaped and bruised lumps of indistinguishable flesh.

We need some alternate history or historical fiction WWII games. Hell, what about pre WWI, where you have to use a musket?

Hey, I'm playing Call of Juarez lately of the highly underused and underrated western shooter genre. The virgin queen genre of all shooters that needs to be exploited more. The game's pretty good actually.

Personally I don't mind WWII games with sci fi elements or those that go for realism, as long as they're done well. RTCW was a hoot becuse it took the occult lore the Nazis were fascinated by and ran with it giving us a believable villan in one of Hitlers' most notorious generals. The elite guard babes were quite a diversion too, but added sex appeal and humor. Oh how I long for a RTCW 2.

I feel both the Pacific Theater and covert resistance forces of WWII have not been exploited nearly enough. MoH: Pacific Assault is really the only title that came close to covering the PT fairly well, but it could have done better and more thoroughly and it's mp was a disgrace.

Another aspect of WWII that has not been covered well is the many prison camps and events surrounding them. There was The Great Escape based on the movie by the same title, but oh what a horribly done game that was.

It would still kind of suck though. Suck in an interesting way.

What about games about the American Civil War? I don't recall seeing such a thing. It was a pretty brutal war. I've got an uncle in California that has an antique gun collection ranging from powder loading pistols to large muskets.
