After three consecutive futuristic titles, Call of Duty has returned to it’s roots with Call Of Duty WWII, a flagship first person shooter set during the second world war. Trading Karma-45’s for grease guns, the return to a game rooted in a real historical period excited many gamers who enjoy the feel of combat in a more realistic enviornment.

The core complaint is that the gamification of the melee mechanics are compromising the gameplay integrity.
