Single Player WW2 Games

[xane]

I was scanning through some old magazine DVDs and installed and played the Call Of Duty 2 demo, it brought back memories of playing the Medal Of Honour: Allied Assault demo way back, I loved it but never got round to buying the full game.

Besides CoD and MoH, are there any other good WW2 shooters for the PC in a similar vein ? I am more concerned with the single-player game now, I don't have the time to spend on multi-player anymore.

I loved Half-Life 2, and any WW2 themed game that can come close to that standard of play is good enough for me. I would even consider buying a cheap bargain bin remainder of one of the older games, if I could get hold of it.

I hear Brothers in Arms is good...

Ive got all 3 MoH games for PC sitting here you can have the lot for £30 posted
One of them was never even played ...

Would anyone recommend getting CoD/CoD:UO Deluxe Pack or the MoH:AA "War Chest" (with Spearhead and Breakthrough) ?

Which games ? The "War Chest" sells for about £17 now

Lol Oh bugger, yeah the Breakthrough and Spearhead expansion packs, plus the original game.
I would bother posting em for £17 tbh ...

Definately. CoD 1 is fantastic, as is CoD 2. I have fond memories of MoH:AA, its great fun (difficult though)

The CoD games are quite short though, thats my only gripe. Otherwise they're fantastic. Brothers in Arms is very good as well.

MoH : AA was crap single player.

*walk out of door*
*get sniped immediately*
*quickload*

*repeat 3 times until you notice where the sniper shot came from*

*sneak out of door knowing exactly where to point your rifle to shoot the sniper before he can see you*

*quicksave*

*rinse*
*repeat*

Fucking genius design

That was only 1 level. And yeah it was very hard, but in real life you wouldn't know where a sniper was until you had your brains in your hand would you

Fairly good analysis of most single player games imo

I admire you sales technique.

I downloaded the MoH:AA, MoHA, and two CoD demos and played them all, apart from MoH:AA which didn't work, a pity as I'd love to have played that again.

The CoD demos are great, I think I will invest in the Deluxe Edition that includes the United Offensive as well. I'll probably get CoD 2 next.

The only problem I have with CoD is it refuses to assign Mouse4 and Mouse5 (side buttons on the Explorer Mouse).

Thanks everyone, any more recommendations then let me know.

I know lots of people here didnt like it, but I thought Return to Castle Wolfenstien was one of the best WW2 games of its era.
Try Operation Flashpoint by the way. Its not WW2, more like WW3, but its still the best single player game ever in my opinion
