'Battlefield V' Censors Words Like 'Nazi' 'Titanfall' And 'White Man' - Sensationalist Headlines

Its been removed, at least white male

Why would they even make a WW2 game in the first place if this is how they wanna roll

I don't understand overly complicated word filters to begin with. Sure, toss in the most common insults/slurs, stuff that noone wants to listen to during a game where everyone's trying to relax. But going insane with it and trying to get every permutation and combination of insults and slurs and offensive terms is just like, why have chat? I know a lot of these censors are more likely mess ups but its insane to me that you can have a filter messing up this badly.

Yeah, no. Remove every hint of symbolism within a game focused around a war whose antagonists parties were focused around symbolism. While you're at it, remove the Imperial German flag from BF1 because that Flag was associated with the aggressors.

How is that "one thing" Those are two completely separate things and one of them is infinitely more innocent than the other.

The right side of history is pretending the Allies at the time weren't sexist, Nazis weren't misogynists and the swastika wasn't an important part of German propaganda and symbolysm.

Chat filters in an M-rated game will never make any sense to begin with no matter what the situation and context is. Blow someone's literal brains out, and other assorted acts of intense violence? Fine. But say a naughty word in the chat? Woah no, can't have that, asterisks for you. I'm convinced most of the time it's seriously enforced, it's just the developers purposely being dickheads for a laugh. Take GTA Online for example, it has a chat filter for some reason, even though every offensive possible word you might be tempted to say is already freely said by pedestrians and NPCs without any form of censorship, but players don't have that liberty.

Games should just have an option for chat. No chat / profanity filter / full chat. It is so dumb to have any kind of filters on a chat, especially when the game also contains voice chat that can't really be moderated with a simple filter.

I really do think people have had enough of this kind of thing, I dont care if a game has a gender/race selection screen people generally like to play as themselves when they play a multiplayer video game, inserting themselves into the world as it were and really that's fine and despite the game being set in a realistic setting it is just a game for people to play so games should have those kind of options. However this is way beyond that, they have marketed it as a realistic shooter set in WW2 a real thing that happened but instead of creating that world they have re-written history to suit their political agenda, all but erasing the Nazi's (the reason for the war in the first place) along with censoring political speech or what they deem to be political AND censored talk of their competition or anything else that might harm their corporate agenda also. THEN they go on to accuse anyone of disagreeing with them as "uneducated bigots" AND straight up LYING stating "oh the algorithm which we created to censor you hastily is simply glitching out". The game needs to fail, it deserves to fail, it really does because these people need to either get back to making video games and not political statements or fuck off.

A post in this very thread says that the filter apparently blocks "Battlefield". You're letting your tinfoil hat show.

I don't really get the point in text censoring when you can say "Only a White man would buy Titanfall DLC" all you want over voice chat.

I just tested this myself. Literally the only thing that is censored is specifically a name with "white man". You can be white woman, white guy, white boy, white dude, basically anything except "white man" for whatever reason. As for whitepower and whitenigga/blacknigga it's pretty obvious why those are blocked.

It was announced at E3. Well the name and basic plot was.

Exactly, MP WW2 games have been doing this for decades. SP games get away with it because you're fighting against them.

Give me tits or give me death!

I don't get the point of text censoring in a game where your character semi-regularly yells profanities. In an M rated game where you murder the fuck out of people with every combat implement available during the era.

Don't do this to me EA. Don't you fucking dare. hugs Titanfall 2 hardcopy.

dookie is also censored. just.. just so you know.

Is 'Trump' banned?

I think the difference is in chat you're attacking a real person.

truly a show of how the liberal video game industry is attacking straight cis white males

The exclusion of the word "Nazi" sickens me to my fucking core.

Chat filters are pretty silly when they go beyond racial slurs, because man, are swears such a good way to emphasize your frustration towards a group of 31 troglodytes who can't shoot straight and needs directions from you as a squad leader.

There's been a leak of the original word filter list by some dude on reddit.

You linked to a dictionary

I’m pretty sure that’s the joke.

oh, whoosh ...did you nazi it coming?

Yeah, it surprised me. Anne Frankly, it was extremely uncalled for.
