Easy Red 2 is such an overlooked absolute classic! A dream come true for all of us wishing to one day see ww2 battles with full single player support, that won't at all feel like typical battlefield style match, but rather an actuall battle in progression. Brilliant game!

There isn't a burnout of WWII games, there's a distinct lack of good ones. People didn't like BF5 because it was a WWII game, they didn't like it because it was a bastardized take on the subject matter as a means to push a message. It's good to see games like this coming out.

Playing through Medal of Honor: Pacific. Never played as a kid. Only beat the first one and that was it until Call of Duty One. Oh and Battlefield 1942 at cyber cafes. You'd pay five dollars or w/e and you'd get 30-60min of play time at a station. If you didn't have a gaming pc, it was heaven. Was happy my Emachine could run Red Alert 2.

First saw this on Steam a couple weeks ago, I haven't picked it up yet, but yes, this game does appear to be the spiritual successor to all those early 2000 WW2 shooters. With there also being a mission editor, I knew this game would be a winner. Glad to see your review. Hopefully this helps the game grow and the community to grow

Day of Infamy is another game like Battlefield 1942, but sadly didn't last long since it lost support and no more updates. Now with Easy Red 2 out, it will interesting to see how the devs can make the game even better than Battlefield 1942 and Day of Infamy combined, it will take time to see how the game will continue to develop though. Gotta keep my fingers crossed until then.🤞

Call of duty 2. The first modern game I ever played, the reason my name is what it is, and probably one of the best ww2 campaigns I have played. Easy red 2 does not come anywhere close in my mind. However it does remind me a lot of starwars battlefront 1 and 2. Huge AI battles across massive maps, weapon selection based on class, vehicles that are fragile but can change the tide of a battle, some of the most brutal fast paced battles, detail without the absurd complexity of modern titles. As good as CoD2 was, battlefront 2 was a third of my childhood and to have a ww2 themed version of that is just awesome.

We were blown away by the fact you could fly a plane in first person and shoot ground troops, who were actual players/bots iplaying the match... I absolutely need to try this Red 2!

i already played two of them except battlefield 1942. But most of all medal of honor frontline is pretty memorable for singleplayer, because that game is unique that combine some puzzles and action war. I remembered when i was kid, when you need to completed some objective i have to brought some translate book or ask to my mom about some english dictionary hahaha. It because my country not use english for main langguage and i am stil about 7 or 8 years old that time and have limited english dictionary. Also medal of honor rising sun is also prety decent like medal of honor frontline, and don't forget medal of honor vanguard that prety similiar like medal of honor airbone. To bad this franchise is almost done or dead, beside this franchise is also is make call of duty exist until now.

Hell Let Loose is no slouch either. It has its problems like any game but still mostly the most immersive WW2 multiplayer experience I’ve ever… experienced lol. The only real setback the game has is the fact the game will only ever be as enjoyable as the people you play it with. If you’re playing with randos that do not use their mics then it’s a real slog of a game. On the other hand it’s a phenomenally immersive experience. I do wish the game had destructible environments though, that seems like a bit of a missed opportunity tbh.

Burnout from world war 2 settings. Very accurate. They never give us other wars often. Give us world war 1, more Vietnam, desert storm, Iraq, Afghanistan- we have Medal of Honor for the last one, but that game shot itself in the foot when warfighter tried to do its own thing instead of staying grounded like the last game was. He’ll give us the pacific setting of world war 2 even. We always get Europe instead. There’s only 2 that I can think of based on the war with Japan. Rising sun and that other Medal of Honor game on pc
