The wait is almost over, with Call Of Duty: World War II is less than three months from release.
In the build-up to its launch, we've learned a lot about it; whether that be the features, gameplay, or the reason for returning to its roots.
On Monday, the game's creators, Activision, released the first story-driven campaign trailer - and it looks bloody awesome.

The description read: "Call Of Duty: WWII tells the story of Private Ronald 'Red' Daniels, a young recruit in the US First Infantry Division who experiences combat for the first time on D-Day, one of the largest amphibious assaults in history.
"After surviving beaches of Normandy, Red and his squad will fight their way across Europe, engaging the enemy in iconic battle locations such as the Hurtgen Forest and the Battle of the Bulge, as they make their way into Germany."
The trailer, which is exquisite in graphic detail, also features Daniels' superiors Pierson and Turner.

Narrative director Scott Whitney explained the mental conflict going on between the two men throughout the story.
He told Polygon: "Pierson and Turner have served together for years, so there's a real bond between the two men.
"At the same time, they each embody a very different worldview, with Turner embracing a man before the mission philosophy, while Pierson is all about the mission before the man.
"Over the course of our story we see how these two philosophies come into conflict and how Daniels, caught in the middle, learns to navigate a path for himself."

One Twitter user wrote: "Beautiful graphics. Beautiful campaign trailer. Beautiful Game!"
Another added: "OMG the German and English voices are so incredible! And the graphics, sound and gameplay are impressive. Amazing job guys!"
A third said: "Goosebumps. I'm so excited. As a long time
cod fan I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to going back to WW2."
As well as the individual gameplay, players will also be able to play in 'divisions'.
Michael Condrey, Sledgehammer Games chief operating and development officer, explained that 'divisions' will replace the old 'create-a-class'.
He added: "Divisions fundamentally redefines how players invest in their multiplayer soldier career.
"Replacing the create-a-class system, players choose from five iconic World War II divisions each with specific basic combat training, division training and weapon skills. We think it'll intrigue Call of Duty series veterans, and we can't wait for our fans to see it for themselves."
The release date has been given as November 3, 2017.
