Hating on WW2 games is a great way to miss out on some really excellent games.
It's not hating on them but, like movies, there's only so many times you can do the same stuff before people get bored. What about the Korean War? Or the Gulf War (obviously largely air based but still had ground action)? Or Afghanistan? Or how about a non-western war... the Iran/Iraq conflict in the 80s? It's like every disaster movie featuring a pregnant woman or a divorced couple trying to get to their kids but falling back in love - it gets pretty tedious. I think the only reason they go for WWII is because they can throw in some dodgy British/Russian accents and pretend the game isn't just about the US.
Crysis went for Korea but fucked it up with aliens and other stupid shit. At least Call Of Duty hasn't introduced aliens or mutants yet.
