The grammar Nazi inside of me is cringing at the title ... make a plan boet!
Generally I don't care who or what I shoot at as long as I get to shoot and kill something. But sometimes what I'm shooting at is getting to become boring, Sometimes I feelike shooting some 'Maricons and Brits instead of Tojo, Jerry, Charlie.
As far as WW2 games go, there are only two games I know of that you can play as the germans in the single player, and both are RTS games, Axis and Allies, and Company of Heros: Opposing Fronts. But I wanna see that in a shooter or at the very least a more emersive genre.

The singularity is about to explode! Weapons are at maximum.
Awesome Article Azi.
This has been the staple for so long that most of us over look it. The good guyz win and the bad guyz are dead. Think about every James Bond Movie you've ever seen, with the possible exeption of the last 2. Bond kills the bad guyz and gets the girl. Newer movies are breaking away from this, The Green Zone has other american's being the "evil" bad guyz.
Wow, nice title fail there. Fixed. Thanks Pantyboi
The only "thing" i don't want to shoot in a game is babies/children.....
I honestly don't care who I am playing as long as the storyline is decent enough. Like the mission in CoD MW2 where you are playing as a "terrorist" loved it
Live Long and Prosper
Hmmm, interesting read.
I honestly don't really care what or who I am shooting. Its a game, a means of Entertainment or in Simple plain English: FUN
If people are stupid enough to take what they get in Games/Forms of Entertainment as too who the "goodies" & "baddies" are respectively or the current state of affairs is , they should be shot to conserve and save that precious Oxygen for someone who can actually think for themselves.
He who lives in the Past, will not be a Part of History
comes down to one simple question imho
if you buy a game do you buy it blindly and not know what type of entertainment you are getting yourself into and then ZOMG i'm shooting X here and it's Y.
makes me think about those who cry about games like rapeplay, but then in the same breath go on how cool it is to sex, kill, maime, torture and so on in another title. there is no differance in shooting down digitital representation of a todler or a zombie for that matter. it's a representation not real thing.
this also brings a bit to mind that gamers these days are spoilt bratz who some it seems want to dictate what others should be, what others should play and how others should conduct themselves. no one is forcing you to pickup a title and play, period. you yourself are moving that mouse around in your choice of title.
what's next, should we care what we drink ingame ?.

It would be great to get a really awesome sci-fi shooter these days. I am tired of shooting normal soldiers and "terrorists". I want mutantsand space men
