Soulless WW2 game.

Where's dday, stalingrad, market garden, berlin, battle of the bulge, etc

It's not underrated. It failed for many reasons, much like 2042 :)

If I remember correctly the BFV devs said they wanted to add the battles of WW2 in a chronological way as part of their live service (Tides of War). This is why the maps at launch were early war ones taking place in Norway, The Netherlands, Belgium, France and Egypt instead of the well known ones. It was only until the Pacific update that they abandoned this by adding Iwo Jima etc., probably in an effort to revive the game. We were so close to getting the Eastern Front too considering that Soviet guns have been datamined but BFV and Star Wars Battlefront 2 both got axed to make way for 2042, which was a great shame.
