Mod had this to say about (_|_):
A game about the Ostfront, Asia, Africa or pretty much any part of WW2 that does not involve D-Day would have gotten a different reaction
Ostfront or Africa would've been so cool

So quoth Mod:
It's not that it's a WW2 game really, it's that they apparently got really lazy with the setting by reusing the most overdone part of WW2 and slapped a name that just screams 'generic' onto it. This is the historical equivalent of "Magic Swords: Crystal Quest", in which a naive young hero goes into the world to collect the four pieces of the divine prism, which are the only means to imprison the ancient evil threatening the land. A game about the Ostfront, Asia, Africa or pretty much any part of WW2 that does not involve D-Day would have gotten a different reaction, this way the first thing in many people's minds was "Fuck Omaha Beach".
Just about every aspect of WW2 has been covered. Just in RTS games, we've had Rush to Berlin, Axis & Allies, Desert Rats vs. Afrika Korps, Blitzkrieg, WW2 Frontline Command, Codename: Panzers, War Front, Soldiers: Heroes of WW2, and others which have effectively covered the European theatre. And the Pacific theatre has been done through naval and aircraft sims for almost as long as PC gaming has been around.
That said, I think anyone turning their nose up at CoH simply because it's a WW2 game is really missing out on what looks like a truly good game. For me, it usually doesn't take very long for a game setting to fade away and I start focusing on number crunching anyway.

The screenshots seriously don't do it justice. At all.
We can't go back too far, or we lose out on cool shit, go back farther than that and its just age of empires again.
Who wants to play a WW1 game, when WW2 has cooler stuff and more options, thats like wanting to play invisible war a 2nd time when you could just replay the good one.

The demo is like 1.5 gigs and needs 1gig of ram in order to start.
Damn. 
edit: This looks like a really fun game. I've been looking for something to satisfy my RTS appetite. Lechium fucked around with this message on 08-30-2006 at 08:44 PM.
Is there a magical bit of advice that will make me stop sucking so hard?
