Call of Duty®: WWII Worldwide Reveal (Twitch Live) - General

[QUOTE=matt000024;52154272]WWII is nice, but I'd rather see something more recent, like the war in Syria or the Battle of Berkley.[/QUOTE] A game about the war in Syria would go over horribly poorly. Maybe 10 years down the line but it's still a thing people are living with right now.

The trailer was kind of lackluster, but I'm still interested because Sledgehammer's developing it

i wish they did the pacific except we're the japs tenno heika banzai tbh

looks shit tbh

[QUOTE=QueenSasha24;52154293]Humble reminder to everyone saying that the we should get a German campaign because "not every german soldier was a Nazi" should read up on the [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Wehrmacht"]Clean Wehrmacht Myth[/URL]. That's is why they won't do a Call of Duty game where you play as a German Soldier during World War 2, even if not every single German was a card carrying Nazi, the regular German Army still did heinous shit on the regular.[/QUOTE] [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_of_Heroes:_Opposing_Fronts[/URL] Half that game has you playing as the SS, in all but name. That game was fantastic and no one even cared, the next game Tales of [B][I]Valour[/I][/B]? Litterally has you playing as the SS tiger ACE Michael bloody Whitman (again in all but name), and then as the Germans ( i think it was SS agai but it's been a while) Holding the Falaise gap open so the Germans could retreat through it. No one cared then either. It can be done without touching the Nazi / politcal aspects, and it can be done well. But it depends on who's making it, as I have said a few times, I don't think CoD is mature enough to pull it off.

[QUOTE=d00msdaydan;52153688]Saving Private Ryan: The Video Game[/QUOTE] I'm ok with this.

You should read and talk about the crimes your country did before you start flailing your arms around about what other countries did.

Hope this game has a zombie mode where you play as Roosevelt, Hitler, Stalin and Tojo.

Looks kinda lame, seems like nothing we haven't seen before.

i like how they are talking about nazi zombies as if its something that cod hasn't done before. i hope they at least mean its like l4d style maps where you go through a level to the goal instead of the normal survival horde mode.

I just have to say one nitpick: the mouth animations they seem too small and don't seem to correspond to the shouting and screaming sections like in the beginning, the mouth looks like it's talking, not shouting

it has the garand, I'm happy

Lol I see they're still using the same Quake engine debug/console font.

[QUOTE=Destroyox;52154423]Ah yes, because most Wehrmacht grunts agreed with this and weren't being forced by an actual oppressive fascist government.[/QUOTE] The same goes for the Japanese army but much worse, who are universially depicted as rapists and brainwashed savages. People would never accept any sort of Japanese PoV game, I can see a German one though, maybe, there is way more taste for it and people aren't nearly as bothered about German war crimes compared to Japanese ones. Plus we have some German pov stuff in media already.

there's a solution for the German thing Afrika Korps could work for a German WW2 game especially considering (iirc) most people generally think of the Afrika Korps more positively than the Wehrmacht because of Rommel and them not being regarded as bastardly as the other german troops by most people who think the Wehrmacht were bad and stuff (?) or just make game as Italians and lose every mission :V

Can we get a game that full on mucks about with one of the less gigantic wars? Like, we've engrained WW2/not-iraq/PEWPEWSPAECLAZERS into our collective retinas at this point and dear lord is it getting old. There's so much nonsense people could delve into that's still post 1900 that it's not even funny and yet all we've seen are a couple of tiny dips (notable: BLOPS2 flashback missions) and the occasional full on game (notable: MGSV:TFP) in these areas. [code] Interwar/WW2 era - USSR v. <insert pre-ww2 eastern euro nation> - Spanish civil war - Any of the Sino-Soviet border conflicts - Battles of Khalkhin Gol or any of those other small Soviet-Japanese conflicts - Battles/conflict between the Nationalist/Communist Chinese. Postwar/1950s - Korean War (Doesn't seem to get much time in the limelight. I'm sure games exist of that, but I haven't seen a modern recent one other than War Thunder's korean mission/maps(s)) - Any of the Israel vs. <the whole middle east> wars here - Cuban revolution - Any of the uprisings in the French/British/etc. colonies. 1960s - More colony uprisings - Indo-Pakistan wars - Six days war - Laos/Sudan civil wars - Not vietnam 1970s - Soviet afghan war (Technically began in 79) - Angolan civil war - Ethiopian Civil War - Yom Kippur wars - Lebanese Civil War - Western Sahara War 1980s - Soviet afghan war again - Invasion of Grenada (woo USA USA USA) - Salvadoran Civil War - Falkland wars - 1982 lebanon war - Iran-Iraq wars 1990s - Congo Wars - Gulf Wars 1 and 2: The Coalition Boogaloo - Chechen Wars 1 and 2 - Kosovo Wars - Yugoslav Wars - Bosnian wars - Somalian Wars and so on and so forth [/code] All those wars and conflicts (which isn't even an extensive list mind you, and it doesn't include >2000's conflicts), and yet we get more of the same.

[QUOTE=GHOST!!!!;52153329]The enemy is ruthless! *German soldier finishes someone off with a Pistol* *Later in the trailer, American soldier kills German soldier with a rock* [B]THE ENEMY IS RUTHLESS![/B][/QUOTE] i kinda hope that's intentionally ironic just imagine if this was all based around americans because it was a post modern ass deconstructionist work about how modern media glorifies the war and america's role in it while demonizing the germans and downplaying the participation of other countries it's doubtful but call of duty has dabbled in these kinds of critical themes before and it would be interesting to see if sledgehammer lowkey tries to slip in some artistic license to what seems like a relatively vanilla ww2 shooter

wouldnt Chechen war 1 just involve either being a terrorist or a russian conscript/artilleryman unless we're spetsnaz also you forgot rhodie bush war which would be fun

[QUOTE=Tuskin;52155327]Eh Rommel wasn't as good as most people thing.[/QUOTE] isn't that a good thing though in that most people think he's fairly good so there isn't a shitstorm?

[QUOTE=Onii;52154577]Yeah. Because it's only the Germans who commited war crimes, right? The Russians, Brits, Americans and so on did [I]absolutely[/I] nothing, right? You should read and talk about the crimes your country did before you start flailing your arms around about what other countries did.[/QUOTE] lmao if you think the British and Americans are anyway near comparable to the Germans in war crimes during WW2 you are kidding yourself. British and US war crimes in the pacific basically amounted to killing Japanese soldiers trying to surrender because time and time again Japanese soldiers surrendering had been hiding grenades or something similar, aswell as a small number of rapes while occupying Japan British and US war crimes in Europe were a small number of massacres in which primarily SS were killed (aswell as Wehrmacht), again a small number of rapes (absolutely not comparable to the amount of war crimes done by Germans (including Wehrmacht)), the worst was of course Dresden. Meanwhile Germans massacred entire villages because of partisans, forced women into prostitution, widespread bombing and destruction of cities such as Warsaw and Rotterdam, extermination, a fuckload of rapes, etc US and Brits were like angels in comparison to the horrid shit the Germans did. Soviets are a different story of course.

[QUOTE=cdr248;52155314]i kinda hope that's intentionally ironic just imagine if this was all based around americans because it was a post modern ass deconstructionist work about how modern media glorifies the war and america's role in it while demonizing the germans and downplaying the participation of other countries it's doubtful but call of duty has dabbled in these kinds of critical themes before and it would be interesting to see if sledgehammer lowkey tries to slip in some artistic license to what seems like a relatively vanilla ww2 shooter[/QUOTE] You want to be technical, Modern Warfare 2's entire plot happens because of an American general deciding that America needs to be forced into a war with Russia and win in order to create patriots willing to fight and die for their country rather than sit back and watch with apathy, even personally killing one of the player characters to silence potential evidence used against him. Then most of Infinity Ward ditched while they could and Modern Warfare 3 veered right back into "russia is mostly evil" territory as they somehow invade Germany, France and Great Britain simultaneously amidst terrorist attacks and a losing front on American soil, and in the end an American team has to go in and sacrifice their lives to save the Russian president to save the day while Captain Price beats and ultimately strangles Makarov to death in a scene that wouldn't be out of place in a Die Hard film.

[QUOTE=DiBBs27;52154031]You can really tell how fed up people were with scifi cod. This has been a long time coming.[/QUOTE] I really liked the infinite warfare campaign, like it was the best in years imo. The multiplayer was not however.
