Every time you turn around, it seems like the WWII first-person shooter du jour is from a new franchise. It all started with the first Medal of Honor game, which helped to introduce console gamers to all of the sound and fury our soldiers saw every day. Next, Battlefield 1942 introduced a number of innovations, the biggest of which was the ability to do battle on huge battlefields, utilizing everything from machine guns to tanks. In 2003, Call of Duty introduced the gaming world to its unique brand of "cinematic intensity", as well as giving gamers the chance to experience the war from a number of different points of view. Before long, Brothers in Arms came along to steal CoD's thunder, utilizing an innovative squad command system. However, it didn't take the folks at Infinity Ward long to release Call of Duty 2, defiantly taking the crown back.
