Yeah, it's lookin like a pretty sweet game, I just don't get why it's taken them this long to make one. Apparently it's gonna be a team based FPS, and I'm hoping it'll be as easy to use as the Brothers in Arms interface (Brilliant game by the way).

Is it? I haven't tried it yet, but it's on my list of games I want to rent.

It's unlike any FPS I've ever played before, the developers spent lots of time on giving the player an authentic WW2 experience, a lot of the characters are designed on photos and names of people who really did take part in the 1944 invasion of Normandy (I acctually looked a couple of them up and found them), the missions are based on real events, they've even recreated all the locations with almost perfect accuracy. The game's based on squad tactics, so you can order around your squad and they automatically fire and take cover, limp if they get hit(unless they die), you get to contol a few tanks, and your enemy can take the same amount of punishment as you. The authenticity is really a bonus, but it's acctually just really fun (and hard) to play a shooter where you don't get an endless stream of weak, brainless baddies running straight into your line of fire. It's just a really different kind of game.
