Battlefield 2042

We still don't have combat worthy prosthetics today.

Of course inaccuracies are to be expected in any game, just as they are in movies. But most of them are so minor that they don't mess with our suspension of disbelief. No one complains when you can play an Allied soldier armed with a StG44 in a scenario set in 1940, just as no one gave a fuck when then Mi-24 Hind helicopter in First Blood Part 2 was just an Aérospatiale Puma with some wings and missile pods glued to the sides.

But some inaccuracies are so obvious that our suspension of disbelief stops working. That's why so few WW2 games and movies have nazis riding on jetpack sharks with laser eyes. It's also why so few WW2 games and movies have women with cyber-arms teaming up with dudes of color wearing some odd gang outfit. Because that looks like alternate history, and if a game wants to go for that, fine - just don't tell us that we'll be immersed in WW2 like never before.

And it's nice that Mr. Soderlund's 13 year old daughter can now feel represented in WW2, at the tiny, tiny price that those who were actually there and fought and died by the hundreds of thousands, like the Polish and French, are gone... or what's the popular term these days... "erased" from the game. I suppose they weren't important enough, or maybe not enough of a minority. I was so excited to get an atmospheric WW2 shooter based on the Frostbite engine, but apparently I'm getting "Diversity Brigade vs the Third Reich".

Eh. Let me know when Battlefield 2142 gets a remake/sequel.

Personally, I think WW2 era games, especially FPS, are nearing the saturation level in the market now a days. The fact that developers are having to 'spice up' games like this with Nazi Zombies, Battle Royal modes, and increased diversity quotas seems to point to the general public becoming exhausted with the setting. WW2 games are a dime a dozen and even films set during this time period are starting to drag a bit, from what I can see.

There was some time when FPS MP wouldn't feature any other setting. But I agree - who wants to play the nazis when the other side gets the cool gadgets?

Ye system requirements. BF1 already crashed randomly. MEA ran like a slog after a while. No way I'm buying any of these games before I upgrade.

Call of Duty II and COD: World at War are very good games. They're from the awesome 2000s gaming decade tho.

I r an infiltrator tbh. I've never played a Battlefield game evar!  

Thank you, I like to maintain a rational and balanced stance on things. 
As for 'robo-bitch' you will need to wait until the PVP sections to do such a character in, I'm not sure what else you meant by that second line.

I think Boogie summed up the controversy the best in his video. It wasn't so much the historical inaccuracy, it was the antagonistic attitude of the developers and media to those who wanted historical accuracy, essentially painting them with the same brush as the people who don't want women, that has made the matter explode ("sorry Soderlund, I'm too uneducated to pre-order" has been uttered more than once). From the 2.50 minute mark he addresses the controversy, and I think it's fairly insightful stuff ... despite the title of the video, which is fairly clickbaity

More like other more heavily anticipated games are on the horizon and EA is selling well a worn genre.

This is a very compact/dense statement, that I think after three reads I understand.

Robo-bitch - // we get who this is

can fucking die - // obvious

tire fire of the games pre-launch sales - // so many unsold copies, they will be burnt like used tires in a dumpster fire, and robo-bitch deserves that death

SofaJockey, free translation for ya.

Not sure if it's 100, and it is not my opinion although I agree with it mostly without caring so personally, but I was never a soldier

I think Battlefield sucks, so That's about all I have to say here. But I am glad to see DICE/EA sucking poop.

Battlefield V clearly needs to have a successful beta in a couple of weeks as it has stiff competition.
