Yeah, EA is totally ripping off TF2, but it looks amusing. WWII as cartoon fighting.

Somebody combined my previous guilty pleasure of Disney's Toontown online with my all-time favorite shooter, Day of Defeat.  My productivity is doomed.

No fun if "ze National Army" aren't 'Nazis.'

I mean, killing them is 80% of the fun of a WWII game, right?

There's just something right about shooting people wearing swastikas or rising suns . . .  angel

Should be fun, but I heard that it will be in third-person perspective. Sad
When in deadly danger, when beset by doubt, run in little circles, wave your arms and shout!

Grand Theft Auto: Fatherland. You just wander around Berlin in the waning days of WWII waging vigilante war on the remaining power structure.

Oh, I should note that the 22% fun above the 100% theoretical limit is derived from the pleasure I get from beating, with the butt of my weapon, the corpse of the Nazi I just shot.
