This really shouldn’t be surprising news to anybody. Fans have waited years for the chance to play another great WWII shooter.

Long side streets provide for mid-ranged combat, with plenty of ambush opportunities in nearby storefronts. Bring a rifle. #callofduty #COD #WWII #CODWWII #WW2 #CODWW2

We were all raised on the older “Call of Duty” and “Medal of Honor” games, which focused mostly on WWII. There’s something about killing Nazis in a video game that is just so nostalgic.

There were countless hours spent growing up just blowing away the bad guys. It was only a matter of time before somebody came around and released another great WWII game.

I knew that these would fly off the shelves when it was released. It’s not just that it was the most sold game, but it was actually awesome. I’m not a huge gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but I know a good one when I see it. “Call of Duty: WWII” was outstanding. Nice to see things work out when a company releases a great product.
