Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Wow, that looks awesome.
I wonder if I can find it locally.
It's ace! I should warn however that it came out very early in the PS2's life so it really looks like a PS1 game that was shifted to the new platform right at the last minute. Doesn't make any difference to how good it is though.
It is around the same time period and it could be about the liberation of Ethiopia.
I think it's the law over there.
Then you'd go through the war, fighting in a dynamic world inside of historical events which you will have very little power to change.
I also would love to see world peace and cheap, good beer. I expect both of those occurring before they make a game like I described.
Also; WWIIOL is not the game I described. I'm looking for something that combines, say, Battlefield 1942 and The Elder Scrolls.
So it is your contention that Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Belgium (among others) were pushing Germany around?
It's either that or tentacle monsters.
Hmmmm. *ponders a WWII game with tentacle monsters*
Now I have to go re-install Combat Mission. Also Over the Reich, a fun but very niche game which is probably best described as a turn-based flight sim.
For "alternate" WW2 games Freedom Force vs the Third Reich is great (although it really has nothing to do with WW2).
I think a Pacific Theatre FPS would be better served by not playing an American. Too many of the islands would just be basically jungles and caves. It would be better to move onto the Asian mainland with the Chinese, Koreans, and Russians. There was some interesting stuff going on in Asia, including Mongolian troops who still fought on horseback and Japanese soldiers attacking tanks with swords.
I think BoA was pretty good at at least making you want to keep your buddies alive. Taking this a step further would be getting closer to what I'm talking about.
No. I think you should read a history book if you think that.
If you win, you get to continue on in the campaign, maybe the next battle is in belgium, then somewhere in western germany, though at this point, you start to see some of the cooler experimental french equipment.
There could be a few campaigns like this. The germans actually attempting to land on and take over britain. The russians trying to take over eastern europe when germany is defeated. The americans trying to invade japan. This way, you would get some new battles that you havn't done a million times. It would let you create new epic fights, etc.
But hey. I'm a game creator, I know how much people hate it when you say "wouldn't X be grand?"
Fix'd that for ya.
Also, the fact that they announced an expansion pack to the game yesterday caused me to blow an enormous load in my pants.
Fall 2007 can't get here any sooner..
Covenant is, but it's not really relevant to the story or the gameplay. It's less "oh no, the Kaiser is attacking!" and more "oh no, Rasputin turned into a flying penis-demon!".
Well, that's what you get. Take away the things that people will recognize it as a WW2 era game, and you're left with generic anything. Replace the Panzers and Normandy with Croatia and Mammoths, and you've got a generic RTS.
Wow. That's how Silent Storm would look if it were remade today.
They even have PANZERKLEINS.
Let 'em eat fucking pineapples!
S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Sudetenland?
