Normally I shoot these down out of the simple fact WW2 has been done to death. Right now the sheer desire for it is coming out of nothing more than nostalgia. The series hasn't done it in a while, and now people want them to do it again, like complaining that GTA should be top-down again, or Fallout should be turn-based again; it's based on pure nostalgia and not on any type of market research.

But since about umpteen versions of blogs like this have appeared I'm going to put my own view on WW2 games. They're dull. WW2 is a historical set time period, so I already know how it "ends", and I'm already certain that certain events are going to happen, like D-Day, Red Square, Invasion of Berlin or any of these famous battles, because they were major WW2 battles. The weapons are boring as all hell to use from a game perspective. The choice is basically just Small gun, semi-auto gun or big gun, that's it. I hated how WaW only had the StG-44 as an assault rifle because I hate using semi-auto rifles, and I'm not a run 'n' gunner, so the SMGs weren't a good replacement, and the MGs also don't fit for an Assault Rifle. And, what has to make WW2 games the biggest turn off for me, is the devs nationality. I can already bet if they made another WW2 game, it would be Americanised to hell. While I can sort of let it slide for a fictional story, since I already sort of know England might not be involved, I know England not only took part in WW2, but was one of the major belligerents, and WaW for time reasons cut out the English campaign, but were still able to fit in their Mary Sue American campaign (and yes, I'm calling it a Mary Sue one because somehow the Americans committed no war crimes, while they made Russian campaign nicely grey). So to sum up, WW2 games are predictable, contain dull gunplay, and focus on heavy nationalism bias. So it's something I'd really not like to see, or if I did see it, I'd not want to see it from CoD, because they'll still go for something "popular" instead of go for a decent niche, such as French Resistance stealth missions or a German POV during a failed allied Campaign, such as Market Garden. Instead we'd just be stuck with D-Day with Murks, and invading Berlin with Ruskies.
