After watching "Band of Brothers" and "Enemy at the Gates", I have been in the mood for a good WWII oriented first person shooter for the PC. Now, I know there are a lot of WWII games out there, tons of them, which is why I am asking you folks here to help me weed out the best of the lot.
Now, my favorite shooting video game so far is Operation Flashpoint for the computer. It is by far the most realistic combat game I have played, weapons act as they would in the real world, the game has real world physics, and you die in 1-2 shots. Not to mention the fact that you can get into any vehicle you can find and drive it around. Also you can shoot in offhand, sitting, or prone positions.
So I am asking for a WWII game that is not only fun to play, but realistic as well. Games where one round from a garand will drop a target from far distances, where as it might take a few from a thompson or carbine at the same range.
If anyone here could recommend their favorite WWII games and why they recommend them, I would be most appreciative, thank you.
