I've picked up WW2 GI on sale on Steam and I've just played a few levels.
Honestly, just like for NAM last year ITT, I'm having a lot more fun than expected.
The first map is nightmare. You're thrown into a really tough situation and have to sneak and fight your way through before even understanding the basic mechanics of the game. I assume this could throw off a LOT of players.
Once I got a hang on the game's mechanics, and after the first 2 maps which were the worst so far, the game has become really good. It's basically more NAM, but more realistic and with cooler effects everywhere.
Again you often have several paths to choose from, and exploring will be very rewarding. There are tons of cool war vehicules and weaponry, whether sprites, sectors, or a mix of both. Some of which you can (and have to) blow up one way or another.
The game is very slow placed, you even have to stand still when using medkits and wait for a while so it gradually heals you. Also, you are going to die, a lot, but I say it's more fair than NAM. So, save a lot, and play on the easiest difficulty.
Only disappointment so far is that I wasn't given the opportunity to give orders to teammates yet but hopefully that will come, and hopefully their AI will be better than in NAM...

Better hide when you hear those fuckers fly by...
Just like in NAM, quality forest action.
Step out of the trench, and this boat will blow you to pieces.
Here you have to hold this position with your teammates against infinite waves of respawns walking towards you, until a path is clear so you can run by to reach the exit point.
A rewarding secret place
Walk along the alternative path following the stream and you'll stumble on this little enemy camp. Go through it and you'll be able to lob a grenade from behind against a key enemy mortar.
