German Front Mod 2 is searching for new members
polycounter lvl 17
At first let me introduce our Project:
We are working with a international team on the German Front Mod. The Idea of this modification is to show the 2nd World War with the view of a German Soldier. We show the 'other side' of the war and want to make clear that there was not only Black and White. Most of the Soldiers who had to die weren't Nazis and many did not even fight voluntarily. We tell the Story of one of this nameless "Krauts" and show the real war without great heroes and good guys defeating the evil.
In the last Year we released a several versions of our Multiplayer part for Call of Duty1 and had great success. This time we want to create the Singleplayer part for Call of Duty2.
The player will be the 19 year old J

Good luck with this, it should be interesting to see how it turns out.
The Player is not a Nazi, most of the Soldiers who fight and got killed for their Fatherland had nothing to do with the nazis.
It is more likely a anti-war game, the player fights a war he can't win and the only thing he wants is to protect his family and come back home.
I think the story should start with the player being drafted to emphasize how little choice the character has.
