Indeed. The best thing about WW2 as an era for videogames is that there is no goddamned technology to fark things up. No guided shells/missiles, no infrared/thermal vision, no autoshotguns, no LMGs with sniper scopes and silencers(or that you can even fire from the hip), etc. Makes for a funner experience. I'd personally love to replay something like the original MoH with the Frostbite engine
And 2142 had shit for vehicles
Let me fix that for you.
The best thing about WW2 as an era for videogames is that people will buy ANYTHING set during that period because they can't resist constantly reliving the last period in American history when this nation didn't suck balls. Guided shells/missiles, infrared/thermal vision, autoshotguns, LMGs with sniper scopes and silencers, and a host of other fanciful tools of war were all invented during it and not even uncommon, but people who like the subgenre are only interested in feverishly wanking over D-Day and Stalingrad, so developers can release effort-free dumbed-down snipe-heavy crap and be guaranteed to sell it for $60. Makes for a redundant experience. I'd personally hate to completely waste the features of an engine with destructible buildings on a game where you can only use dumbfire rockets that often fire 15 degrees off-target to do anything with it.
And 2142 had goddamn mechs and hovertanks

I don't mind the loss of the commander role as most of those functions are deprecated or implemented elsewhere in a different way.
I beg to differ. The assets may not be all that important anymore with the abilities of the individual soldier improved, but they gave the intrepid something to deny their enemy, resulting in extra depth. Aside from that, there are two things the commander provides which nothing a game without one can possibly have. The increased intel provided by a whole-map view of the action, and the greater level of coordination that facilitates. (When squad leaders listened to the guy, anyway.) The commander brought something to 2142 that is rarely seen in games: real tactics layered on top of the usual paradigm of people putting their eyes in the right place.
Also, you could fire yourself out of a titan and kill people with your drop pod. :V
