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

How about any scenes at places other than Western Europe, but still in Europe? Poland, Ukraine, Baltic States etc. These were hugely important but literally never covered in any video games

I wonder if we will get to see another of Captain Price's many clones

[QUOTE=Glent;52156791]I wonder if we will get to see another of Captain Price's many clones[/QUOTE] I'll be sad if cpt price isn't in this. He held this series together through ww2 and even lived to fight against evil dictators and terrorists in the 21st century. Dude is a legend.

[QUOTE=Glent;52156791]I wonder if we will get to see another of Captain Price's many clones[/QUOTE] I reckon he'll get a mention as an easter egg

[QUOTE=Nerfmaster000;52156248]Here's the thing, you wanna play an arena shooter? Go play an actual arena shooter like Quake or Unreal Tournament. [/QUOTE] Nothing wrong with a lil' innovation, my friend. The gameplay style presented in those games couldn't [I]really[/I] be described as an arena shooter, but it created an interesting faster-paced angle to the stop n' pop COD gameplay. Again, I never really play these games myself, but I liked what I played in the futuristic CODs more than I liked the modern warfare CODs. As an admitted non-fan of the series, this means very little though.

At best you might find an Indy Game like Enemy Front, or maybe a mission or 2 where you play as an OSS agent knocking about in eastern europe.

[QUOTE=Araknid;52155349]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] An example is how the British starved millions of Indians because of racism towards them during the second world war. Does that sound familiar to you? Because it does to me. But my point wasn't about who comitted the most war crimes, but that everyone was guilty of them.

I wanna say there were one or two missions set in Greece in one of the MoH:AA expansions but I may be remembering it wrong (I recall a motorcycle escape after raiding a coastal fort/battery) Warsaw, Poland was also visited briefly during the Soviet campaign in the first CoD

[QUOTE=Furioso;52157124]UO had Kharkov.[/QUOTE] A great mission in my opinion. UO really did have great design.

Medal of Honour Allied Assault, Breakthrough covered snippets of North Africa, Sicily, Anzio and Monte Cassino. Like 1 or 2 missions each.

Thinking back to it, I think that was my favorite CoD. The variance in missions and settings was extraordinary.

Hidden and Dangerous 2 was a obscure WWII game based around the earliest form of the SAS and it fucking ruled. It's also the only shooter I've seen cover Burma, a criminally unused front and would be awesome to see in COD since you'll have both Indian and British soldiers fighting the Japanese. Oh and Chinese, who have never been seen in any WWII shooter ever.

Gray Matter studios was later merged into Treyarch which if you ask me why Treyarch is one of the leads behind Call of Duty that consistently makes better ones than even the original series creator, infinity ward.

fingers crossed for foley, moody, and elder showing up somewhere

Haven't bought a CoD since WaW, and now that WW2 is back, that might just change. Curious to see what else they have to show us.

It was like a mix of Battlefield and COD.

Caribbean troops when?????? seriously nobody I've known has ever given us limelight in any way at all

[QUOTE=Scorpo;52159093]Caribbean troops when?????? seriously nobody I've known has ever given us limelight in any way at all[/QUOTE] Youre just as likely to get representation in a WWII video game as the Brazilians. The best you can hope for is a Sabaton song at some point.
