Forgotten Hope 2
Close Combat
Combat Mission
Graviteam Tactics
Blitzkrieg
Men of War Assault Squad 2
Are some of my favourites that I play regularly.
Jane's WW2 Fighters.
This thread isn't going to be about video games
every game that tried to do the Saving Private Ryan "omg this is so brutal and reel!!1" ended up really lame and trite. favourite wwii game is sniper elite 2 because slow motion x-ray shots are cool and it has decent shooting mechanics
I tried playing Sniper Elite 2 the other day and just got bored. Felt like a run of the mill linear third person shooter and I really disliked the slow motion x-ray. Surprised the series is so popular but that's my take on it.
what makes you say that?
Hidden and Dangerous
Day of Infamy
Hell’s Highway.
Btw. I want to try Close Combat. Which game should I play first?
I'll never play it again, but in the sophie's choice of "least bad wwii game" it wins.
Tbh Sniper Elite V2 is pretty bad, 3 and 4 own it more and have wackier scenarios and bigger more open missions.
There are plenty of great WW2 games that stand well above Sniper Elite V2
Depending on what theater you want and how old you're willing to go. Personally I really like Gateway to Caen which is the most up to date one and is pretty decent. Brits v Germans western front stuff. Another great one is Iron cross/Close Combat 3 which is eastern front and linear campaign with troops you carry over with you as opposed to Gateway to Caen's more skirmish based tactical campaign map. Whichever you choose they all play pretty much the same and are good fun. If you've played any RTT game you already know whats up. Try to always have eyes on your enemy, advance slowly and keep to cover.
Hidden and Dangerous 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. It's a clunky, buggy piece of shit that irritates the hell out of me sometimes but there's nothing else quite like it.
Red Orchestra definitely
Red Orchestra games
COD: World at War
Men of War: Assault Squad 1 & 2
Company of Heroes 1 & 2
IL-2
I’m asking because I heard that some CC games are harder (more difficult in a bad way) than others.
Hitler did nothing wrong and most of the germany and allies representation in gaming/movie industry are an accurate representation of the allies forces behavior.
Commandos Behind Enemy Lines
I enjoyed Soldiers Heroes of world war 2.
Anyone tried that new Hell Let Loose thing?
which stage are you on?
World at War
WE'LL BURN 'EM OUT
I don't know much about what you're referring to. Only criticisms I really hear about some of the games is that half the series is a cashgrab re-release of the other half. Have a look at Gateway to Caen, it's very polished and well done and feels like a complete package unlike Panthers in the Fog. Play around with it and see if you like it, then go from there to earlier entries. Or you can wait for the next release of Close Combat which has been in the works for half a decade and promises a new 3d engine which looks neat.
Commandos 2 Destination Paris mod a goat.
Call of Duty World at War
I like operational level WW2 games, and my favorite is probably Command Ops (there's a second version/revision out that I haven't played yet.) You send orders to your troops with actual order delay, time artillery strikes with big pushes into enemy territory, and react to whatever the enemy is doing on screen. It's a great game, and I highly recommend it.
Gays are mentally ill and man will never be a woman no matter how much they screech and mutilate their pp
I read somewhere that recent Close Combat games were made mostly for fans which are used to its difficulty. Well, I’ll try Gateway to Caen. Thanks user!

I agree
Red orchestra
Men of war
Sniper Elite (the first one)
Red Orchestra.
If you have any experience with RTT games in general you shouldn't have too much trouble. Play the training scenarios, have a look on youtube for some tactics and then play a few battles yourself to see what's up and how everything works. I was never big on the series but recently got into it starting with Gateway to Caen then played through Iron Cross. It never felt too difficult. I did read some reviews from >gaming journalists who claim it's somewhat difficult but then again as a regular played you already know that in these types of games it's good to always have eyes on the enemy, do your best to flank, move slowly and not take unnecessary risks. Also the mixture of artillery barrages and bombings makes the game a lot easier in a pickle. I think you'll have a blast user.
>Are there any that capture the brutality of war?
Hell Let Loose certainly seems to do good job with that.
>that picture
kek what a bitch
HoI3
>really disliked the slow motion x-ray
Play the third one with it off
>Hitler did nothing wrong
how do you figure? his aggressive land grabbing directly led to the war
I can't stop playing hoi4 even though I fucking hate it.
>Are there any that capture the brutality of war?
CoD World at War had some brutal scenes iirc
>What are your favorite WW2 games
CoD2 and Hearts of Iron IV
Fuck off tranny
ya seethe?
Stage 4 detected.
>playing "historically accurate" WW2 game
>implies the holocaust actually happened
Is there any games where i can play as a nazi in the main campaign?
5-6 million Jews disappeared from Europe following WW2 if not killed in the Holocaust where did they go?
Dilate
My favorite part of WW2 is when Berlin got steamrolled by the red tide like the smelly austro-prusso-cocksuckers they were. Fucking shit-eaters got dabbed on by a bunch of chicken-fucker farmers on tractors, LMAO
yea ya seethe
No, because your definition of "games" only includes single-player story-based shooters. Try getting a triple digit IQ.
jew york
Is there anything more humiliating than losing to the Russia? Americans or Germans please respond.
any census data to back that up?
>seething
the sources are listed right at the bottom champ and they've been collaborated a number of different times
Imagine being a nazi larper who finds power in pretending he's talking to trannies on an anonymous finger painting chat room. Big yikes. Work on self improvement.
>americans and germans pls respond
>americans
Americans are the most powerful country on Earth and didn't collapse in the 90's
you first, retard
Went to other places, died from old age, starvation, diseases, cold and bombings, died in in resistance struggle, with births not enough to replace the losses.
>jewishdatabank.org
Woah never mind dude i totally believe the holohoax now
They're led by a russian muppet, that's why I asked. Does it even bother you as a country?
Sources are listed right here
>Went to other places
Such a migration would constitute one of the largest in history it would not go unnoticed
>Muh trump collusion
>still no evidence
Keep crying bitch nigga
I take it you apply the same standard to all WW2 casualties right? Can't trust German sources for German deaths, American sources for American deaths, etc?
Rising Storm/Red Orchestra 2
I mean, the shadow of your russian plant must get into your subconscious, even if you choose to live in denial and all. How do you cope with the humiliation on a day to day basis? Please respond.
Devil May Cry 3
No argument
>wwii game thread dissolved into shitposting again
Imagine my shock
all these words and I still see no evidence
So how about Post Scriptum?
Hell Let Loose is better.
Okay so when you listen to that chubby menace just parrot russian talking points, do you feel anything inside? Any kind of pride lost or humiliation? I knew americans were all weirdos my whole life, but I never took them for fucking wusses. I guess I was wrong.
Comparable cleansings of germans after the war did though
Germany lost to a coalition of the three strongest empires on the planet during the 1940s, the US won the cold war and the "Russians" collapsed. Honestly, I have no idea why you believe such-Oh wait a minute, you're a retard. Never mind.
super weird.
Because the NYT said there were 6 million Jews in Europe just before WW2.
Yea I'm aware of the German expulsion post WW2
>Because the NYT said there were 6 million Jews in Europe just before WW2.
source?
>Hell’s Highway.
I'd go with this too. I liked Road to Hill 30 but never really got into Earned In Blood.
He was literally protecting his Volk, you cuck. Do you have any idea what murderous savageries the slavshits were inflicting upon the Aryans?
based /his/ bro
soldiers 2 heroes of world war II also red orchestra
Prior to the war, Jewish commandos were murdering at the very least 100,000 ethnic Germans every year prior to the war.
Is the online community in red orchestra 2 still active?
>Germany lost
And how!
Every month*
And it was going on for years.
acho que call of duty modern warfare de xbox
Remember the 100 trillion germans.
Try adding a few more zeros to that, rabbi.
200 trillion was just Dresden alone.
Id really like a remaster of Hidden and Dangerous 2, its pretty good and worth playing still if you havent tried it. I can see a game like that with good graphics and some quality of life changes.
Sort of, but most have moved on to RS2
Dilate.
Left cant meme
Add Israel to the map in 2015.
never forget the trillion billion zillion innocent nazis who were murdered in the dresden bombings!
Is it worth $20?
ya seethe
>memeflag
Israel's population didn't reach 6 million until the year 2000

>crimea is part of russia
So everything is correct then.

>Hell’s Highway.
Yuuup
The Gameplay in the marine sections (esp Hard/Vet) is the best representation of the hell that was the Pacific
> Tojo attacks like crazy,in one moment he's clever,in others he's the idiot who rushes a BAR man
> Every inch of ground is hard-won
> You think your hard work did something?kek no you're still stuck in Peleliu
Kinda yeah
It's faster paced compared to RO2 since you get assault rifles and you get some fun new toys like tripmines
Sound design is worse though
is there a mod you can get to skip cutscenes in hell's highway? i wanna replay it but i think I remember you couldn't skip them and that always drove me nuts.
That game was so fucking bland that I can’t believe that they made a remaster of it.
>game is called Sniper Elite, but instead of assassinations or supporting sniper roles, you’re basically this one man super killer commando guy sent to advance into enemy territory and kill 100 guys in every mission
>stealth fucking sucks, the only silenced weapon is a silenced Welrod that is willy inaccurate, and if you fail to headshot with it, fuck you, now the entire enemy army is on your arse
>and even if you manage to stealth properly, then the game throws you into forced action sequences where you need to kill those 100 guys
>and many of forced action sequences involve interiors or other close quarters combat situations, leading to you needing to use SMGs etc. non-sniper weapons, and oh man the combat is clunky and sucky with them
Apparently 3 and 4 give you a lot more freedom and open-ended approaches to allow for you to play them like you’d expect from the series name, but 2 just felt like as if it was trying its best to force you into those situations where the gameplay sucks the most. What a shitshow.
No i meant is RO2 worth $20?
Pretty much this. It’s either a stealth game that doesn’t give you the tools or room required to actually complete the objectives silently, or an 3rd person shooter that feels clunky as hell.
To be honest, I have no idea how they could have made an entire game out of just sniping sections, but there’s no excuse for how mediocre or plain bad the game is outside of them.
Just play CC3 The Russian Front
