We need some new wars solely for the benefit of game settings.

Bring on the First World War shooters! You wait for days staring at mud, then jump up and start to run over more mud only to die instantly.

Or the Spanish Civil War shooters! You sit in impassible mountains for days, firing at pointlessly long range at vaguely glimpsed enemy positions, missing ineffectively, for weeks on end. Then you run out of ammunition or are blown up by a bomber raid or are shot by your allies for ideological deviation.

Is this the descendant of the BattleStations I played a bajillion years ago on the Saturn? A quick google says that was published by EA. God, I was bad at that game.

I had fun times with the multiplayer demo of Midway on the 360, but never really contemplated buying it. The main draw for me was piloting the larger battleships, waiting for all the gun lights to light up and then letting loose with a full broadside. Quite possibly one of the most satisfying implementations of rumble ever.

Yeah, we should try Madagascar or Easter Island. Not that they’ve done anything wrong but I’m sure we could think of something. In the case of Easter Island maybe we should go to war with ALL the really small pacific island just to drag it out a bit. It’d be like Hostile Waters!

I’ve been bored of the Second World War since I was twelve. And I wasn’t even there.
