guys i have windows live messenger and theres no monthly fee so i dont know what u are talking about windowslive messenger is a part of msn messenger

Well I read what stryder has said. I dont think it will be popular. I heard that you actually have to have a windows live account to play online which is by month, if anyone can get any info on this would be great. I will not get this game if there is a monthly fee. If you look at all the WW2 games today there all mostly dying off rapidly. Also if you look at COD4, Crysis, and many others are still thriving.

The don't have to go far to beat EA at the pacific theatre. Pacific assault was never supported and graphically required more from a rig than was standard back then.

I have faith that it will be good (read: for a year or so) and then hopefully they will leapfrog to Vietnam which has only been done on a big scale by EA. (appologies to vietcong and Men of valor).

I think politics come into play in game making, think Vietnam games have been somewhat suppressed because there are enough people in the world that hated and still hate the war and it can easily be a sore subject.

WWII and terrorists - easy targets. Fair to guess all WWII age people are not playing fps games, so only descendants would have objections of making games from it. Everybody hates terrorists except terrorists (now if we could only figure out how to get terrorists to hate other terrorists...i digress).

WWII is an easy target. It offers some speed in weapons along with a romanced era.

Could/should be good as long as it isn't done by EA.
