Juju Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 As above - Seem to not be as many about as modern combat - prefer the feel of WWII (Or indeed WWI). Seems My choices seem to be Call of Duty Series, (I, II and United offensive in a "Steam Warchest Combo), Call of Duty World at War Iron Front - (Supposed to be buggy) Red Orchestra I&II Bundle (II supposed to be buggy too). Anything I've missed - whats the best? The last time I played one of these was Medal ofHonour on a PS1! - And don't worry bout the specs, my pc should run just about anything ok..... Suggestions please.... Alternatively, if the modern ones are *much* better, what would I go for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted July 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2012 Battlefield 1942 was always a great WW2 shooter. Not sure how many people still play it though, so you might find multiplayer a little on the empty side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted July 14, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted July 14, 2012 Call of Duty 1 and 2 were great games at their time of release. However, that was a while ago. I recently played through 1 (on the 360 admittedly) and it really was feeling old. 2 should stand up better and was a really great game at release. World at War is a more modern title, and feels it, it's not the best COD game but it's not terrible. It shows off the Eastern front and the war in the Pacific, can get annoyingly hard at the end. Red Orchestra franchise has a huge fanbase (and is predominately a multiplayer game), can be difficult as it's more 'simulation' like than many games and has some strategy/tactical elements. If you liked Medal of Honor on the PS1 the latest WW2 game they did is Airbourne I think, which is considered 'alright' IIRC. Battlefield's 194_ games are great if you really want multiplayer hijinks and don't mind a fair amount of vehicle play. Getting on now as well unfortunately, particularly the original. In my experience the COD games are probably the best if you did like Medal of Honor, initially the series was made by guys who had worked on Medal of Honor and started their own studio to make better WW2 games. As said though, the original 2 are showing their age, good as they are/were. The modern shooters are often good, they have a different atmosphere to the WW2 set games though. Best thing I could suggest if you fancy a bit of an idea of what, say, the COD modern series is like, is to give World at War a try. It comes from the era just when COD went Modern Warfare esque and has pretty similar gameplay. If you do take to it and fancy trying the modern stuff, COD4: Modern Warfare is a great game, as is it's sequel. Black Ops serves as a sort of sequel to World at War and features MW2's gameplay with a Cold War setting, Vietnam etc etc, but it's plot is bobbins.

Phumfeinz Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Day of Defeat: Source? It's £3 on Steam. Like Counter-Strike but in WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I agree with Designer1, Battlefield 1942 is brilliant if you can play PC shooters (I struggle) and there is so much to add on if you do enjoy it. On PS3, Battlefield 1943 is my favourite shooter, it's simple yet so much fun. I enjoyed it more than Battlefield Bad Company 2 (Haven't played BF3 yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Not really a fps per se but the Brothers in Arms games are great (more so the first ones as the last one was a bit average). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know any WWI games?, would love to try one Wikipedia's list of WWI games The Trench looks decent. I think I might download the WWI mod for BF1942 and give that a go.

Risso Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 The newish Sniper Elite V2 is very good. You play an allied WWII sniper working your way through a variety of missions. The best thing about it is the x-ray kill cam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster85 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 i'm the type of guy, who loves realistic gameplay, so i must recommend you: Battlefield 2: Project Reality (for modern warfare) and BF2: PR - Project Normandy (for WWII) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted July 23, 2012 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 23, 2012 The last WW2 game I can even remember is CoD WaW, before that I remember Medal of Honour: Frontline sticking out as a really solid game, had a cool D-day opening mission too, it's about 10 years old now though. I'm not sure you've got much to pick from. I would kind of like a decent game to go back to that setting actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 For something different you could try any of the following. For flying in dogfights ( not flight sims ) Attack on Pearl Harbour Heroes Over Europe Heroes Of the Pacific Blazing Angels 1 or 2 For flying planes or controlling ships etc Battlestations Midway Battlestations Pacific For commanding a tank.... T72 Balkans on Fire For flying a helicopter .... DCS Blackshark Blackhawk Down I have all of these games and can recommend them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gillz Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 medal of honour: frontline, one of my favourite games of all time. for single player as well try COD 3. Those 2 games are great and still good fun to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
