A civil war first person shooter? Clouds of blackpowder smoke obscuring your vision while you fire indiscriminantly at some unseen foe while artillery destroys nearly all your comrades - your idea of fun? Well maybe this could be a game worth getting.
From what I can find out this is based on the Call of Duty 2 engine and I should imagine it therefore being pretty good. From the list of weapons in the bumph below I note there is no mention of the basic firearm for the period - the muzzleloader as that would be kind of frustrating having to load one of those all the time. The end effect with gatling guns and revolvers will probably more resemble a Great War battlefield than Civil War but you have to be reasonably impressed someone bothered to do this. I hope there's an online possibility as that would be interesting. To me anyway.

Out on November 14 Civil War will be a first-person action game and will take place during 12 of the war's most notorious battles, including Gettysburg, Bull Run, and Antietam. The game will feature authentic guns, like repeating rifles, revolvers, and Gatling guns, but it will also feature plenty of gritty hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, sabres, and good old-fashioned fists. Gamers can play as either the Confederate or Union soldiers.
