> Brothers in Arms?
A detailed description:
It's another WWII FPS, but one that seems to be trying to be the most realistic to date. You don't play a made up character in the game, you play a real soldier who actually fought during the war. Every battle you will fight are the exact same battles the character and his men fought during the war, every building is recreated to exact detail from old photographs and eyewitness accounts, and the developers have even got the exact time Allied ships shelled towns on the morning of the D-Day landings.
It's team orientated as well, you control two small firteams, one to cover your men, another to assault, though rather than a complex system every action you give to your troops will be done with simple button presses from the mouse. Great looking graphics, some impressive looking AI and more authenticity than COD and MOH combined should make it a very interesting, and hopefully very enjoyable war game that remains faithful to those who actually fought during the conflict.
If you can, check out the Talkthrough video, it's on last months PCG and features an in depth look at the game with one of the developers and the tactical advisor, who has an annoying habit to shout out "Oooh, Good Shot" every time the developer shoots someone.
The trailer looks like it should be shown in cinemas though...
What's that about then?

Can't say fairer than that. Trouble with the MOH games is, they aint that realistic. I saw a video last night where you can actually control a fighter plane and shoot down dozens of aircraft, while another I saw not too long ago sahowed the character gunning down hundreds of soldiers who charged him with swords.
I'm sure Pacific Assault will be fun an all, but personally, I think the COD expansion and the forthcoming, and hyper realistic Brothers in Arms will be better.
Yes.
Pwns.
V2 CtF Sniper only severs is where it's at.
And why do I get the feeling you know those I.Ps off by heart..
Uh-huh.
