i would have been one of those people who would have played this until MW2, OFP
R and halo: ODST but owing to the disgusting pricing choices of EA i've decided they can keep MW2 and stick it where the sun don't shine (and ODST isn't looking so great anyway), this and OFP will be my games of the year.
but i am under no illusions, this game will fly by most people, it's WWII, it's flying, it's not 100% easy and so 90% of people wont buy it, it will sell well enough though, they wouldn't have spent all the time developing it if it were not going to do so.
