I have always wanted to see a Battlefield 1942 type game, but for WWI. Bi-planes!!! That would rock.

I think it's because the tactics and weapons hadn't evolved yet. During the Napoleanic wars it took about 6 seconds to reload your weapon, and you were standing in a straight line across from your enemy, who was right in front of you. Not much of a game to be played there, it's more like target practice. WWI was trench warfare interrupted by insane charges into machine gun nests across open ground. Bleh.

Now if they made a C&C-style game, an RTS for either of those wars I'd happily take a look, but there just wasn't much First Person Shooting going on in those earlier wars.
