Call of Duty goes back to WW2

As I rounded the corner of a trenchline on Pointe du Hoc I came face to face with a German soldier. My rifle was held high and, running full bore, I drove its bayonet into their chest delivering a mortal wound.
This is not an unusual sight for a Call of Duty game. It’s been commonplace since the series’ inception in 2003. But right there, in my first demo of the upcoming Call of Duty: World War II, I noticed a big difference.
I’d just killed a woman. A black woman. A black woman in a German uniform.

The fiction of Witey is peeling away, we must not let the negro know their destiny!

It doesn't take much effort to put people in uniform to throw at the russian hordes when you're suffering yourself serious manpower shortages.

 

[RNGsus]

That explains Aryan propaganda. It wasn't easy convincing all those whites to enlist.

 

[karoliner]

They were also a lot of jews figthing for Germany.

 

[Don Peste]

Shame they couldn't convince the Japanese to form the SS Division Samurai...

 

[DemonKing]

I always liked this tale of Koreans in the Japanese army being captured by the Russians and pressed into service and then being captured by the Germans and pressed into service before finally being captured by the Americans in Normandy:

Still no evidence of black women fighting for the krauts though...

CoD 2 was already past the point of no return. It's one of the worst, most insultingly stupid games I've played, and all the subsequent releases in the series look exactly the same but with different weapon skins. With this game they can even keep the skins intact.

Blasphemy

"shitty 00's metalcore song starts playing"

 

[Sensuki]

Yeah most frag movies from the 00s either have nu-metal, metalcore or some form of edgy rock. Not the best music for sure but it works alright when you sync up the shots to the beat every now and again.

 

[Alienman]

The most used song of all: Let the bodies hit the floor.

 

[Sensuki]

Nah I think Rob Zombie - Dragula was probably one of the more overused ones, also POD - Boom.

Old ass tribes montage with some indie rock that sounds like choir singing is DEEP

 

[Sensuki]

This is a good one from one of the best Australian CoD players

 

[AwesomeButton]

So, this releases tomorrow. Anyone preloaded, jumping with excitement?

 

[Endemic]

Shotguns are now flamethrowers, apparently.

The game also features lootboxes (which mostly contain cosmetic items, as well as the occasional XP Boost), and players can work towards acquiring lootboxes just by standing NEXT TO OTHER PLAYERS AS THEY OPEN THEIR LOOTBOXES in the game's social hub.

How do you earn Supply Drops?
You can earn supply drops without spending money by...

...receiving them as a random reward at the end of a match.

...completing Contracts, timed challenges (get X kills, get X headshots, etc.) you purchase with Armory Credits (which you can earn for free on a timer or through completing certain challenges).

...completing daily and weekly orders, challenges without a time limit that you can turn in at any time, even after the daily/weekly selection refreshes. They don't require Armory Credits to purchase, but you can only hold three at once.

...watching other players open supply drops. Curiously, you'll also be able to earn supply drops and other rewards through a new social score. By interacting with players in the HQ mode, you can inspect them and give or receive a one-time commendation, which increases your social score. But again, here's the icky bit: you can also increase your social score by watching others open their supply drops. This has its own reward system, though I haven't been in a live environment long enough to test it.

Will probably receive a review code for this tomorrow so expect the ocassional banality report.

 

[AwesomeButton]

Yep, I already heard about the loot boxes. It's going to be great fun watching the drama around them. Quoting the same youtube channel twice on the same day:

 

[Tehdagah]

It's so social.

kill video game

 

[unfairlight]

Wymyn won WW2 and there's nothing you can do about it drumpflets

 

[mbv123]

Surprise, surprise, the game is garbage

 

[unfairlight]

Wow this is the REAL history. After the brave Communist warriors of Marx killed those white pigs they hung a LGBT flag in celebration, showing peace, love & equality.
