"Skill Based" Then shows 2 of the easiest shots a player could make. Why not a 360 noscope? "I think Call of Duty resonates because it's believable and relatable," Sledgehammer Games cofounder Michael Condrey says. Believable and relatable...Yep, sounds like Call of Duty

Yeah I thought that too. I guess they mean 1 shot pretty much = death, none of this COD/BF retarded shit where you can start shooting someone successfully only for the guy to turn around and kill you instead because of some better weapon.

Umm, killing someone in one or two shots is the opposite of skill based. Then it's just choosing the most spammy weapon and spraying like crazy. I would argue that CoD/BF is more skill based due to your example, that the crappy player got the drop on the better player and the better player still managed to beat the crappy player.
But hey, skill based in most shooters now-a-days is a term thrown around for shits and giggles and can always be correct or incorrect depending on how someone sees it.
IMO the most skill based games were/are doom/quake/UT, the military shooters are just fun shooters with a very low skill-ceiling.

Beh, looks like it was made to "fit" the "eSports" crowd. There was only one DoD. Strange to think it was released 16 years ago...

Why do some people think this is related to CoD? The maps in the trailer look familar (donner, kalt, salerno?! - if my memory isn't failing me).

Driven Arts has announced that the Kickstarter success of Days of War is now available via Steam Early Access. This is a fast paced online multiplayer game that aims to revive the style of classic WW2 shooters, where your combat skills and knowledge of the map will be put to the test. You will fight with up to 32 other players either as the Americans or the Germans, on the beaches at Omaha, inland Normandy themed maps Carentan and Thunder, or battle for the Colmar Pocket in the snowy village of Kaysersberg!
