	WWII shooters Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Why are there so many WWII shooters out there, but I've never heard of a WWI FPS?

Still, you'd think there'd be some.

How many WW1 movies have been made in the last 30 years. I can't think of any. It would work though.

Oh. I misread the original post.

Well of course there aren't WW1 games. How idiotic would that be? A bunch of bolt actions and trenches.

There has been a couple ww1 games, I think... well, mods atleast.



There was one ww1 game that had modern/futuristic weapons, too.


But it doesn't exactly lend itself to FPS gameplay, although I think it could probably be pulled off now that the genre has evolved somewhat.

EDIT: And I think it would probably have to be more similiar to ww2online's gameplay to do history any justice. And that's not exactly mainstream.

America was only got involved towards the end. That's the reason.

So why aren't there any American Civil War shooters then?

Well, I assume it'd be a little boring having pistols and Springfield rifles as your only weapons.

That would be the fun of it.
What's the fun of auto-targetting weapons? That's just as lame a playing with a hack.

Even in WW2 shooters, it's mostly America. D-day, France, the Pacific, Italy. With only a smattering of other stuff. This is understandable, but I'd like to see a broader coverage. Various resistance groups, Chinese partisans, Burma, Indonesia, more Russian stuff, Greece, North Africa, etc.

WW1 was largely trench warfare. Not a fun concept for a FPS game.

The Russian-German Border?
Of course you would need Cav. there.
And Animal Rights will prohibit you Shooting at the Horses thus destroying the Game Concept.


I think Iron Storm was the name of the Game Gen. Ludd mentioned?

Lawrence of Arabia - the game. An FPS set mostly in the desert, with no obviously contrived boundaries. With horseback and armoured car sections.

How about Battle of the Somme - the game? Lasts all of five minutes, as you and your childhood pals go over the top and are mercilessly mown down by machine gun fire, wiping out the entire fertile male population of your northern British home town.

Because one was made, it sold well, so other gaming companies thought, "We'd better make one too." The maker of the original thought, "We'd better make a sequel or at least an expansion pack to compete with the new games that people are competing against us with." Never-ending until fans say, "I'm bored with these, I wanna shoot aliens."

I think that it would be cool, if we could get a " the anarachists finally got off their asses and started this revolution that they have been *****ing about forever" fps. It would be fun playing either side.

I remember when you said "WWII shooter" everyone thought of games like 1942.
