World War 2 games before we begin we

this list we’re looking at the games
that made their mark in this historical
setting
[Applause]
number ten Dave defeat source developed
by valve this FPS was a remake of the
original 2003 day of defeat mod for
half-life the game allowed players to
compete against each other as either the
United States or Germany the many maps
and levels of the game are based on real
battlefields in France Italy and Sicily
though it’s pretty dated now the
graphics were pretty great for the time
and the gameplay featured realistic
weapons and grenades the class’s
atmosphere and intense gameplay like
this to being one of the highest rated
world war ii games of its time
number nine il-2 Sturmovik
the skies in this classic dogfighting
sim once emaddix games took attention to
detail and depth to a whole new level
with this Eastern Front focused game the
game itself is named after the infamous
Soviet ground attack fighter which
played a prominent role in you guessed
it world war ii up to 100 players could
play in online servers and fly in planes
from Japan the United States the Soviet
Union Germany and the United Kingdom the
combination of great graphics and
realistic flight based game plank made
this a truly special title
number eight Red Orchestra two heroes of
Stalingrad
developers tripwire interactive didn’t
shy away from making a difficult game in
a day and age when the player’s HUD
could show them all kinds of helpful
information this game chose to forego
most of that in the name of realism by
taking away those hand-holding devices
Red Orchestra 2 ramps up the tension and
the sense of satisfaction when you win
this fps also boasted incredibly
detailed tank interiors and gameplay
altogether this made for a one-of-a-kind
gaming experience for those that really
weren’t into Call of Duty number 7 World
of Tanks
[Music]
combining elements of shooters and MOBAs
this free-to-play game has turned out to
be a massive success for its developer
wargaming this game is for all of you
who love the chaos and explosions of a
great tank battle it’s easy to think of
yourself as a digital Rommel or Patton
when rolling through the beautifully
detailed terrain and who doesn’t love
knocking your opponents tracks off with
a perfectly placed hit this game has
spawned several other similar titles but
for our money
the original is still the best
[Music]
number six Medal of Honor allied assault
[Applause]
perhaps the best game in the Medal of
Honor franchise this 2002 first-person
shooter was the first of the series to
be released for the PC like so many
other world war ii games this takes
place during the invasion of Europe on
the Battle of d-day the multiplayer also
featured four modes along with typical
deathmatch it also had an objective mode
which required teamwork to complete map
specific missions allied assault was
loved by critics and players alike for
its gritty atmosphere and fun gameplay
[Music]
number 5 brothers-in-arms Road to Hill
30 lieutenant combs and what’s left of
his platoon upend down not far from here
they might last two hours they might
last two minutes but they won’t last at
all if we don’t reinforce them if you’re
a fan of HBO’s Band of Brothers then
this is the game for you it’s hard for
developers to innovate when it comes to
story because we all have a pretty good
idea of how World War 2 happened but
where this game really shined was in its
squad-based gameplay not only were your
squad mates vital to your success but
they were based on actual members of the
hundred and first Airborne Division
squad based gameplay has since become a
popular feature in other shooters and
you can thank Brothers in Arms in part
for that
number four Wolfenstein 3d this game is
older school than old school and is one
of the fathers of modern-day
first-person shooters if not the father
you play as Jewish American BJ blasts
kibbutz who is just escaped from his
cell in a Nazi compound and has to gun
his way out the fast-paced action and
brutal violence was revolutionary for
its time and it’s the foundation for
many games that we play today
number three battlefield 1942
[Music]
dice changed the way we play world war
two shooters forever with this classic
multiplayer game battlefield encouraged
a cooperative playstyle
due to the fact that the maps could host
as many as 64 players between two teams
during an online match players have to
work together to capture spawn points
and deplete the enemy ticket counter all
while keeping their teammates alive and
constantly resupply on top of that each
map was littered with a variety of
vehicles that players could take control
of making battlefield 1942 truly worthy
of its namesake
number two Call of Duty 2
the coastal guns on those plans
another classic that created a gaming
phenomenon called duty – took the
familiar world war – setting and made it
new again with great graphics and
intense sound design it redefined the
genre and established itself as the
premier first-person shooter series on
the market one of the innovations the
game featured was regenerating health
maybe you’ve heard of this one this may
seem like small comment and may be
overdone by now but at the time it
allowed players to concentrate more on
shooting each other’s faces like no
other game before it another great world
war ii shooter from the call of duty
series was 2008 called duty world at war
but for our money cod 2 was the best
before we unveil our top pick here a few
honorable mentions
[Music]
number one company of heroes
probably one of the best realtime
strategy games ever
this classic follows the invasion of
France by the Allies during World War
two
you fight your way through Europe in a
fantastic single-player campaign and
test your my curling skills in intense
multiplayer to among some of the unique
features of this game were the squad and
cover systems your units would actively
seek out the best places to hide from
incoming enemy fire this was a pretty
revolutionary mechanic for an RTS game
and honestly few games have really used
it successfully since do you agree with
