Where did All the World War II Games Go?

Not too long ago fought the United States in the Second World War. It is not uncommon, coined as the contribution from one generation to hear the Second World War. Root in video games.

Exactly what it is about these great games?

Call of Duty, the game that inspired a generation with Nazi Zombies, is one of the most remarkable in the WWII genre. There are also Red Orchestra 2, another fantastic first-person shooter (FPS) Example of a realistic WW2 game. And let's not Medal of Honor series Lost, which seems to be completely fallen off the face of the earth.

This epic, epic global conflict is gold for games. There is really, really bad, bad guys as Adolf Hitler for one thing. Second, this type of game ample supply of alternative story lines for different adventures. Erwin Rommel's lost treasure is choice.

And do not forget about the numerous plots to assassinate Hitler. Also talk about the characters. You "Old Blood and Guts" General George S. Patton, General Montgomery, Eisenhower, Erwin Rommel, Joseph Goebbels, and the list goes on. So many big and bad, but all are interesting people who contributed to a world-shaking conflict.

I want to return these games! Apart from Wolfenstein there is a huge absence of major wars in the gaming world now correct.


Liberators Online


Imagine what we can do with the technology available to us to. Games like Liberators and Call of Duty are bigger, faster and more beautiful than ever. But it has to use yet been any WWII game big battlefield technology. Ask a single soldier on a D-Day beach are located. Players you idolize when MG-42s flash hillside bunkers, and all the time, you just need to duck and cover behind the tank blockade just ahead.

Massive battles with many players would allow for extravagant goals and not to mention excellent teamwork tanks! Who does not love tanks? One of my favorite things to do, drive tanks in video games and on the cake would be icing drive a German King Tiger. Everything would be spectacular.

Unfortunately this does not seem like such a spectacular idea to some people. Quick tempo, dominating FPS games on the market with a narrow niche in e-sports. This fall Games Lineup year included sci-fi and fast multiplayer games like Halo 5 and Call of Duty: Black Ops. 3

Do not get me wrong, I love these games. Competitive Multiplayer and e-sports are great, and Sci-Fi is one of my favorite things ever. However, we must balance. I want a deep, historical experience in an age of so much technology.

Moreover, the Second World War plays an extremely important role in the American and international history. Games are a great medium to teach, especially if the details may be made historically accurate. I also feel games tribute to the Americans pay, who gave their lives, liberty we defend so dear. I I am afraid also a trend that forgets event change this world. Future video games may be the only way children have to get their story. The story is super-important because it shows us the mistakes we have made, so that we do not make them again.

For example, there is a very strong argument that the Second World War could have been avoided if certain measures to help the European balance of forces to Germany, rather than imposing penalties they had been taken back. But to look failure of leaders in the past, which guarantees a second world war.

We need to study history in order to create a better future, and perhaps, 3. Perhaps to avoid World War an extremely complex WW2 game might help us get there.
