They don't..?

I mean, they did their best with the assets they had when creating the particular D-Day game, I'm sure.
Wow, a photo of when CoD was good...
Brothers in Arms probably did the best job of portraying D-Day
Red Orchestra nailed it. I think it was Mare Nostrum or Darkest Hour that had a D-Day map, and it was pretty amazing. Red Orchestra 2 Rising Storm also had a pretty cool beach map, although that was on the other side of the world. PTSD simulator.

Both Red Orchestra and Darkest Hour (the western front mod) had it. Although the Darkest Hour version was way more brutal.
Medal Of Honor: Frontline did it for me, even though it was based more on Saving Private Ryan.
I'd say some Arma mod could do a pretty good job.

fparma once played a D-day landing mission with invasion 1944. It was kinda nice.
edit: alot of people with weaker computers lagged iirc because of all the AI and the fortifications.
I'd say CoD 2's Pointe Du Hoc was pretty accurate. Medal of Honor Frontline's probably wasn't very accurate, but I'll be damned if they didn't do an amazing job of making it feel intense as hell.

Wait, there is a remastered version of Frontline? When was this?
Did moh Pacific Assault portray it at the beginning or just something similar but more modern day? I forget

Played it lots of years ago but I think that one had a totally different beach map

That was just some amphibious landing in the PTO. The name of the game is literally "Pacific Assault".
Answer: Not at all.

Sounds interesting.. Darkest Hour some user created mod for Red Orchestra?
Dog pant's comment is cool

It was included with preorders of MoH2010 IIRC.
It's also available on PSN and XBL for $15.

And I think it was as a response to CoDHD being included with Collector's Editions of MW2 lol.
I think the most realistic depiction of the Omaha defences I've seen is probably in fh2.
"Whilst Call of Duty fails to show the problems of the drop"
That's wrong. They showed 82nd and 101st mixed together and also the diaries mentioned the misdrops as well

It told, didn't show; as opposed to Brothers in Arms where you just get nothing and no one.

Yeah I remember this, they did portray it very well actually
Are you guys really forgetting about Dino D-day?

I was there when we first landed, I'll never forget the blood curling screams of the T-rex Minigunners.
allied assault mp was so good.

a few of my friends and I tried this mission with allied AI off. So it was 6 guys storming Normandy that day.
We respawned god knows how many times, and still didn't make it past the beach.
I remember playing Hell's Highway (which was Arnhem, not the D-Day invasion itself) and being surprised that a game actually tried to incorporate the effects of shell-shock into its story, and even gameplay.
Of course, you can also command an army of sheep.
When I think of D-Day in first person shooters, I still think of Medal of Honor Allied Assault's Omaha Beach and the jump from the C-47 in Spearhead. They might have been almost directly lifted from Saving Private Ryan and Band of Brothers, but it was mind blowingly good at the time. Medal of Honor set the standard for the WWII shooter and (for better or worse) there would not have been a Call of Duty if it weren't for Medal of Honor.
