AFAIK, Stuart Black left Codemasters because of creative differences. That's why Bodycount is what it is. He didn't finished it.

At least it isnt modern warfare themed, lol. Who'd have thought WW2 would feel like something fresh again.

Screens look good. Even homefront 2 will use cryengine3 but it is for 2013

four screen shots, not enough of a viewpoint and not enough information.

Playing as a Nazi soldier has to be threaded carefully, because there are a bunch of ignorant history-fanboys who don't really have a clue or did not bother to actually study history, they just picked a side without understanding the reality.

Nazis were the absolute evil/betrayers/trash, they lost because the Allies were unquestionably smarter, organized and actually superior lolz.

You know killing nazis is kinda getting really old. After such a long time I must say they were pretty badass and I'd like to actually play AS one for once.

Killing Nazis never gets old, those arrogant small denis bastards are always welcome in my cross hairs, what sucks is the actual execution of the games being that the historical WWII games are nowhere near any type of technology pushing 3d engines.

That and most games have been limited to corridors with scripted A.I. or spam fest A.I. (you know what game I'm talking about...)
