    just watched a video of it. Weapon customization is very fake for the time period. Trying to shovel current weapons tech into WW2. Higher level weapons have color schemes and the highest is gold. yay for running around with a PPSH with holographic sight and silencer that is all gold with engraving.

    just another reskin of past few COD but in ww2 setting.

    to unlock the highest color skins require you to unlock a set of cards which have nothing to do with each other. so.. you have to farm or buy more crates to truly get the highest skin color variant.


    everything is locked behind lootcrate, from skins, weapons attachments, emotes, etc. and all unlocked right in front of everyone to make a show out of it.

    Seriously? WTF? It's like they are just repackaging the last game with more MT and calling it something new... like they aren't even trying anymore.

    So it's not a world war II game despite it being set in world war II? Do they not realize people will scream "historically innacurate" which is what people want.

    But it is "historically" accurate, that's why it is in the game.

    Like how people were saying the dunkirk movie was inaccurate because it was too accurate with all the white people in it? Which england has an abundance of white people.

    True. But i looked it up. The indian army was mostly occupied fighting the japanese in malaya and burma.

    There were some at dunkirk

    Probably the most unusual posting of any unit of the Indian Army during World War II was in 1940, when four mule companies of the Indian Army Service Corps joined the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in France. They were evacuated from Dunkirk with the rest of the BEF in May 1940,[4] and were still stationed in England in July 1942.[88]

    But as they were supply (which is never in any movie) that pretty much excuses them. And the indian army wasn't in europe again till late 1943 (that's combat units). There probably weren't any indians in the british units. With all the fighting in africa i doubt any of the african units would have been in europe till 1943 as well.

    A mule company is made up mostly of mules (the animal) so there probably were not many indians there. Can't find a number for how many people were in a mule company. It was about 2500 animals( combined) though. So maybe 1000 people? Out of 400,000 troops total. It would have made more sense to show the indian (civilian) sailors in the merchant evacuation fleet.

    Also that movie is apparently the largest english language produced opening in India. So they don't care they weren't represented in the movie.

    Yeah, everyone in the US pitched a fit about Scarlett Johansson playing Motoko in Ghost in the Shell, but the people interviewed in Japan thought it was fine.

    I always felt like she was japanese-american. One parent was american one was japanese. But since her entire body is prosthetic she could have black for all we know. Heck she doesn't even remember her real name. Maybe she was russian and her name was Anastasiya

    Oh... it gets fucking better...

    The game also includes...
    [​IMG]

    Something around 70,000,000 to 85,000,000 died as a result of WW2 so that one day we could make an absolute mockery of it.

    Seriously, fuck you Activision.

    If you feel compelled to play a WW2 COD game, there are MANY cheaper, better versions already available:
