I am not too sure about the authenticity of the scenery, but i know that out of all the WW2 PC games i have played, Day of Defeat is the best as far the weapons go. Graphically they are INSANE, they all hold the exacte some ammount of ammo the real ones did, and they re-load the same also, serial numbers are also viewable on some of them. Personaly it is my favorite mp/ww2 game. Call of Duty is really good too. I have yet to play the 2nd one though.
