On the look for some World War 2 games I might not be aware of.

Playing battalion 1944 but i already have csgo for something like a competitive shooter so its not really what i was looking for, shame they didnt try put a campaign on to it
 
There are not many single player WW2 games anymore. Only one I can think of that came out in recent years is Enemy Front, which I had fun with (but probably would never recommend), but was extremely easy even on the highest difficulty.

If you are looking for multiplayer. Red Orchestra 2/ Rising Storm is my favourite, and still has people playing online - but there is also Day of Infamy which I didn't like as much.

Some older games would be;

Brothers in Arms
Hidden & Dangerous
Commandos
Medal of Honor
Call of Duty
Sniper Elite
Men of War
Company of Heroes
Day of Defeat Source

If you want more 'milsim';

Hell Let Loose
Post Scriptum

RO2 is still the best of the WW2 shooters. Good balance of shooter/soldier sim.

Hell Let Loose (as mentioned by HaloUK) is due soon, worth keeping an eye on.

How does it compare to RO2? Is it simmilar or nearer to RO2 or Post Scriptum?

Id say it's a bit of a mix between the two. It's not quite as hardcore as Post Scriptum but probably a little more hardcore than RO2. My problem with Post Scriptum is beside the guns/weapons it didn't really feel that much like World War 2, Hell Let Loose nails the WW2 vibes... the maps are very convincing, huge open fields, they feel like real locations (because they are) rather than maps designed for a game. This can be frustrating for some as there are huge areas of open space, big fields etc and not much cover... but that's accurate for the battles they are trying to recreate (Foy etc).

Its a bit bare bones at the moment but I had an awful lot of fun in the last beta after not really expecting to, same goes for my mates who all went out and bought it afterwards. It's the surprise game of the year for me.

The dismemberment really adds to the gritty nature of it as well, seeing one grenade turn 4 soldiers into a pile of limbs and blood is quite something.
 
PS maps are made using maps/pictures from real locations at the time on the war so they are pretty accurate for the most part. PS suffers from quite poor performance currently due to being on the old 4.16 version on UE4. Fingers crossed it improves when they move to 4.21+

HLL is...I'm not sure. I backed it on kickstarter where it was advertised as being like PS but it seems to have had a change of ideas and seems to be focusing on more battlefield-esque gameplay. It's pretty bare bones at the minute and all betas have suffered with some awful VOIP issues. Even when it was working there seemed to be hardly any one speaking to each other and just zerging to point to point. Jury is very much still out.
