A: I Hate Pants: I mean an FPS. Any idiot could make a strategy game like that.
B: The Polish were the only nation to have a significant calvary force at the start of WW2. Time Life's "WWII" (which I own) describes the Pomorske Calvary Brigade attempting to break through German Panzers. They failed.
C: Actually, there was some fighting at the Maginot. Army group C feinted an attack towards the Maginot line. I know this through the same book.

Anyway, here's my idea for the Cold War Gone Wrong game (FPS).

Chapter 1- you're in Korea. UN forces have pushed the North Koreans to the border with China. You fight in North Korea. However...

Chapter 2- China declares war on the USA. Millions of troops pour across the border. You gradually get pushed back to the 38th parallel, the dividing line between the North and South. Seems historical, until...

Chapter 3- At the request of North Korea and China, the Soviet Union crashes through. This chapter covers the retreat through Korea as troops are transported to defend the US. Nuclear weapons exchanges have not occured. A few bombers have been dispatched by both sides, they were destroyed. You are retreating full blast out of Korea. There is a mass evacuation in process.

Chapter 4- The United States has been invaded! Paratroopers have landed in British Columbia in Canada and Washington and Oregon in the United States. The Americas (with the notable exception of Cuba) prepare for invasion. The world is divided. World War III beings. You fight in Los Angeles, urban style, against landing Russians.

Chapter 5: The Soviets push you back to the Midwest. A nuclear attack has been launched against Texas. The Comintern (Communist International) has taken over parts of Canada, the US up to Utah, and is thrusting into Mexico. You fight on Salt Lake.

And so on...it would be cool if the campaign was dynamic- if your squad fails to take a certain area, it is lost, making the whole single player either winnable or loseable.

For all of you looking for a good ww2 game try ww2online.
No life bars in this game, a shot to the head and your done.
You can play anything you want anytime you want in a battle that never ends for Europe. Your not stuck in a planned battle area.(N.Africa and Pacific theaters will come one day)You could even run all the way across map if you want, although that would take about a week on auto-run.
You can be infantry, tanks, planes, boats, anti-air or anti-tank guns.

Im getting planetside for the future type combat, but il never stop playing ww2online until im dead or out of money...then I will sell blood and play some more.

P.S. I have seen some complaints about patches in PSU? They come out almost every month for ww2.
EDIT] This is also a good game for people that like team efforts, 98% of players in ww2 are in a squad.

for the guy that wanted a civil war game- SNES= north vs south i think its called. believe it was a kind of RTS game sorta im not positive tho.

for the cold war era- Freedom fighters. You lead a squad of ragtag urbanites against russian invaders (set cold war era)

I really like aztecs idea for dynamic gameplay. that would rock if for say you lost los angeles, therefore the soviets open a mexican front or something. very nice.

about this ww2online game, you gotta pay a monthly fee?

Yeah, and I don't think it's an FPS, it's more of a Squad based RTS

I like that part

We never had any action around here.

*leans out window and sees russian paratroopers filling the sky*

Seems I spoke too soon.

We always get alot of action around here

*leans out window hoping the paratroopers would be gone, but they are not*

Crap, why does it never work a second time.

*gets in the AA cannon that is now in his garden and starts blasting away*

AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

*gets captured and joins the communist forces* (who woulda seen that coming?)

How do you like my shiney new AK-47?

Wwiionline is an FPS all the way. Il try to post a screenshot.
And yes, monthly fee of $13.

This is view from commander posistion in a stuart tank. Each tank has 3 posistions at least, but one person can and usually does all 3. To the right are stuart driven by others and ahead is a panhard afv.


This shot is looking out the left side of a spitfire cockpit. The plane going down is a german heavy bomber(He111).


This is what other infantry will look like to you. This is a British LMG(Large Machine Gunner)holding a bren.

I don't know. It was released in 2001, but I don't know what month if that matters.
