Aaand they already talk about having a Strong Female Character™ and being racially diverse. If I had any interest in this garbage it would've disappeared right about now.

So. Besides the original name, let see what else this game got going.

They clearly didn't want to set it in WW1 because of BF1.
It still uses the same engine since 2007, and Crysis still has better graphics (also I am betting the optimization is going to be shit for the PC version).
Can only play as a Kwan in the muh cinematic campgain with card board box level design.
It will most likely have 15 DLC's, each costing 30 jewros/dollas.
And of course same rehashed gameplay from last 10 years.
Nothing as changed or improved, still shit.

Welp. I am just going to sit back and have fun with BF1 and R6 Siege, and laugh at shit show this games is gonna be. Good times ahead.

Might be cool if they showed us a different side of the conflict for once, like the invasion of Poland or France. It would be cool to play a long German campaign that begins with the invasion of Poland and ends with the fall of Berlin.

CoD2 was the first CoD I've played back in the day. What a great game, you could've cut its atmosphere with a knife. I'll probably check this new one out at some point in the future, for nostalgia's sake.

Where's the fucking cuck emote

on topic: can't wait for the endlessly respawning bunkers on Omaha landing n.49384321

The self-cannibalizing nature of this industry is really funny. I would expect most videogame players these days were still in their diapers when the FPS WW2 fad was going on, so what's old is new again eh? Except more inclusive (tm) and much easier. With loot boxes. And piecemeal DLC that gouges the consumer base by hacking whatever semblance of a complete game was there for maximum profit.

I am so overjoyed at RPS's butthurt article, that I read it twice. :lol: Selected quotes:

And worse than simply being inconsistent of vision, they often exude a pungent aura of jingoism, duty, machismo and heroism that would not be out of place in any boy’s war comic of the 1950s.

Nowhere do videogames more clumsily reveal their immaturity, comparative to other mediums, than in tackling wars via big budget multiplayer-focused shooters, in which the closest the player comes to achieving a deeper understanding of conflict is in pressing ‘F’ to pay your respects.

On top of that, nowhere do games spout more US-centric ideas about the necessity of conflict either, exploring loose themes about foreign invaders, surprise attacks, terrorism (and “narcoterrorism”) in such a narrow and limited way that, in any other era, it could easily be labelled propaganda.
My god, someone dares to make US propaganda?! :D Imagine the gall! And immediately after that:

Some readers might grimace at those complaints, seeing only a vague anti-Americanism in my argument.

I can’t take what they say at face value when I watch the CoD: WWII trailer only to be greeted with the same old chiseled faces of US servicemen out to prove another point about how heroic they are in the most discordant manner possible.
This guy definitely hates white people.

The rest of it is here, but these are all the relevant parts.

I don't understand. This new CoD is going to depict the holocaust because “We didn’t want to shy away from history. We wanted to be very respectful of it" according to Activision (https://archive.is/4sgpA) but they'll make playable women soldiers because fuck history

Women served in French Resistance Army and the Red Army, which most likely will be included factions in the multiplayer

- Complain about CoD being jingoistic and US-centric.
- Complain about Japanese or European games not meeting US left-wing concepts of diversity...

:hmmm:
