Many moons ago this time of the year i would be enjoying another release of medal of honour on my playstation. Then they disappeared and were replaced by call of duty. Now call of duty are releasing games that completely don't interest me in anyway, does anybody know whats the future for ww2 shooters????

Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm is the best WW2 shooter I can currently think of.

Everyone likes making futuristic shooters at the minute.

If they could make £££'s they would but more profit exploiting youngsters with the latest pew-pew installment.

Is it more everyone's liking futuristic shooters or more like people will buy whatever crap cod serves up lol.

Sadly they're a thing of the past, kids want to play modern 'unrealistic' garbage.

The WW2 setting is without doubt the best, maybe one day we'll see a renaissance.

sadly all the shooters or most shooters follow the same old dirt format. the ones making noise at the moment are the new breed trying different things.

cod/bf franchise sadly has to cater for sales to the dumbed down audience.

thats why there hasnt been a decent game from any of them for last 5-6 years.

What rumors would they be?

Well going by the YouTube!!

a lot are saying the next won't be in the same time setting, also far to many futuristic games out!

They know the market is there for a WW2 game!!

WW2 market got a bit saturated - hopefully it comes back again at some point though I'd love to see one with with power of modern graphics.

Jacksonn · 1 Jan 2016 at 16:16

Just imagine a WW2 shooter on the frostbite engine!!

SonniLombardi · 1 Jan 2016 at 16:23

WW2 Shooters are the best imo, I love them and really would love to see one done again in a new engine.

Not played Rising Storm before and watched a YouTube video of it and the YouTuber who posted the video told a fantastic story about a Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident during WW2 if anyone is interested, it's here:

Just goes to show not all Nazi's were evil in the regime, even after having to get one more plane shot down to earn that medal.. he done what he done.. wow.

WW2 shooters started getting incredibly stale after the 13901 FPS of any given year featured it. They'll probably go back at some point when people get bored of the futuristic setting.

CaptainRAVE · 1 Jan 2016 at 17:15

It all went futuristic. Would love a modern COD title with a WW2 focus and some innovation using current tech.

Red Orchestra 2/Rising Storm great game.

They just need to re-release COD+UO with the new engines and we would be sorted. The UO multiplayer was one of the best ones i've played and even had vehicles in some maps.

That was before activision did COD on the consoles though

SonniLombardi · 1 Jan 2016 at 17:28

COD WaW is still active with some ded servers with usual crews still playing, still lots of fun and one of the best COD games ever released.

StriderX · 1 Jan 2016 at 17:33

The games are filled with pointless fluffy ****.

The old games were good because they were simple... Also the ppsh was the best weapon ever to exist.

old gamer · 1 Jan 2016 at 17:44

Yep I miss the ww2 shooters, offing Nazis was so much fun

SonniLombardi · 1 Jan 2016 at 17:45

Agreed on the PPSh, Loved that gun on WaW, the rate of fire was incredible.
