Call of Duty®: WWII

When you get tired of the moral gymnastics of the Modern Warfare series, World War II was always a perfectly unproblematic comfort zone to fall back on. We WERE arguably fighting nations lead by genocidal dictators and US involvement overall is considered one of the necessary turning points of ending the war quicker. Even then, this game doesn't reach the more disturbing and near-horror aspects of World at War. When you get to the shoot'y parts, it's standard Call of Duty, basically a point-and-click adventure only you click on enemy heads. Attempts at moral ambiguity are minimal and low effort, and both historical and militaristic accuracy is lughable. Maybe there's a SMIDGE of historical revision when you compare Zussman's capture to the capture of the real Roddie Edmonds. But if I were to take away something good from this game, it's definetly (perhaps ironically) when it's NOT a usual Call of Duty game. Specifically, the down-time moments between the action set pieces; when characters talk to one another. There's definetly an attempt to create more of a Band of Brothers atmosphere with how characters talk about cultural references of the time or how much they wish they were back home and the war ended sooner so they can be back for Christmas. I would definetly like it if World War II games did more of that, at least if they really want me to care about these characters. So overall, I'd say this is just another Call of Duty game, where the most unique factor is making you feel like you're really there during the times OUTSIDE of battle; kinda like these moments from Saving Private Ryan, where Captain Miller and Ryan talk about their lives before the war, or how Rieben, Upham, Horvath and Mellish talk about Edith Piaff. !!!BUT!!! Not at the current price. Watch those moments on YouTube if you believe me, and if you REALLY want to play them, definetly wait for a sale.

very good story

Прошёл всю кампанию самостоятельно и честно. Танковый бой в Аахене — отдельный вид испытания. Немецкие «Пантеры» движутся очень быстро, их лобовая броня почти непробиваемая, а твой «Шерман» едет медленно и тяжело. Пришлось действовать хитро: прятаться в тупиках и атаковать их с тыла, пока они тупят на площади. Но потом начинается настоящая радость! Зимние миссии в Арденнах и Засаде — вообще нечто. Атмосфера в снегу очень реалистичная, кат-сцены словно сделаны по фильму, а полеты на тяжелом истребителе P-47 Тандерболт доставляют огромное удовольствие. На финальных миссиях из-за сильной нагрузки на графику мой компьютер иногда зависал, но я не сдался. Вытащил Цуссмана из плена и доказал Пирсону все. 10 спасенных бро из 10.

nice try

Bien :)
