Battlefield 1 - set in World War 1

It is the longest lasting American unit, and these games are mainly popular in areas dominated by American pop-culture, besides, it's the cover art of a game, why do you care so much?
This is the KODEX. Autism, butthurt and spergin' abound. Not sure how that surprises you, to be very honest

Exactly. It's not like people are learning history through video games.
Looking for historical accuracy in AAA games is like looking for realism in Hollywood blockbusters.
Those are entertainment products, with PR suits trying to conduct campaigns in order to maximise profits along the current market trends.
Journos like minorites - we will have that, check.
They like empowered minority womyn in vidya games - check.
Etc., but that's obvious.
I think that most people don't criticize the appearance of the game itself, but rather the cringe-worthy marketing and catering to the the needs of market, they try to influence at the same time.
I mean - who would seriously buy that corporate talk about "rising awareness about less known sides of the conflict", or "bringing in my diversity". It's just employees following guidelines and doing checklists. I don't think they believe that shit coming from their mouths themselves.
Sure there are historically accurate games, but they either have to be accurate enough to appease grognards and therefore fall into small niche; or try to tread the middle ground, and dissatisfy both the grognards with their liberal approach to the subject, and the casuals with their complication and attention to minute details.
It might be a fun multiplayer action paced shooter for people who are into this type of games.
It's still stupid, bud I'd bet that it will share similar fate as Fallout the Fourth (i.e. people sperging and treating it like the evil incarnate on the forum, but many of those critics will still buy it).

Nah, next one will be "Battlefield: North vs. South" about the 'muric civil war. The cover will be showing aAfter Battlefield 6: Battlefield 1, I'm already excited for Battlefield 7: Battlefield 2. A WWII shooter starring a Peruvian Inca transwomyn and showcasing xir super important contribution to defeating the Nazi war machine.
Every character model will be dark skinned to avoid accusations of racism.
I am actually looking forward to driving a tank so slow the round is over before I reach a flag.

The soldier being black isn't necessarily even historically inaccurate. Anyone who actually cares about it must have crippling issues in life.
I'm sure the reason that character was selected for the cover, though, was so that a highly predictable set of people on the internet would lose their minds over it (see also: Star Wars) and thus generate more discussion about the game and therefore keep the hype going.
The theme song sucks. Somehow, despite adding a bunch of orchestral flourishes, it doesn't sound even a fraction as urgent and cinematic as the BF1942 theme.

You just described 99 % of the KODEX, as I'm sure you realize. :D

Yea sure, I'd rather say activision is buying YT views and they got only 14 million after a week.
I'm going to hate myself but I pick EA....at least they gave some good and ok stuff for free on Origin and Battlefield 1 is a bit more imaginative than Call of Halo...Also they put their shit on Humble from time to time while ActivZion keeps everything full price or a pathetic 50% for 15 year old stuff during Steam sales.

Well, i guess:
1) Dudebros care more about military games than they do about GTA or Fagout.
2) Contrary to popular belief, graphics still sell, and GTA wasn't particularly great in that regard and Fallout 4 was outright shitty.
Trailer does nothing to me, even aside for the cringy SJW stuff (the Bedouin wimminz in particular is derpy as fuck).
