Gearbox Readying WWII Shooter For UbiSoft?

Thanks to IGN PC for its news story discussing rumors that Halo PC and Half-Life add-on developer Gearbox Software is creating a World War II team-based shooter for publishers UbiSoft. The piece points to the WarStory.net webpage, which is trailing a Gearbox product with screenshots and quotes, and IGN PC claims that: "According to several sources in the know, it's temporarily called Baker's Dozen", although "the name isn't finalized just yet" - an official announcement is expected in the next few weeks.

No your not alone at all. There are lots. Personally, i prefer the different war games, weither they be WWII, vietnam, etc, because they actually happened, and your using guns that actually exsited, in an environment that's meant to emulate places where people actually faught. Kind of a "sim" element added to the FPS genre. Without this, I wouldn't play these games any more. Even UT2004. wtf is that? a bunch of laser's and hovercrafts, as gamers get older, they get tired of fake ass plasma rifles and elecro-shock guns. Not to mention graphics. WWII games will always look better, make more people's jaw drop, because they have something to compare the in-game images to, (as in; life) you don't know what a shock core looks like in real life. (and wtf is with the shock core, and all the other fake weapons that suck? if your going to make a up an imaginary weapon, don't make it suck, I hate ut2003/4's weapon set.) Call of duty has a real dirty, blown up feel to it. I loved it.

With all of these world war two games, we're just going in circles. Now, if we could combine Battlefield 1942's vehicle system, Medal of Honor's graphics, Return to Castle Wolfenstein's weapons, and Day of Defeat's realism, I believe God would step down.
