Holy poo poo there's a lot of new posts. What would be the topic? Oh, call of duty ww2. I had to sit though a lot of poo poo and disable noscript a lot of times just to see the same old poo poo. Looks like they wanted to capitalise on battlefield 1 and remake COD with some brothers in arms scenes. Graphically doesn't look any better. I still sometimes play COD2 and the expansion a couple of times a year so I don't hate the franchise, just hate the hype and all that bullshit I had to sit/skip through to see what it is all about.

Raenir Salazar posted:IIRC someone thought it was unlikely for Red Army soldiers to make it from Stalingrad to Berlin, IIRC Katakov's Tank Guards Brigade actually managed to fight the war from Stalingrad to Berlin. I thought that taking Berlin was specifically appointed to Chuikov's troops which had defended Stalingrad.

Jobbo_Fett posted:Got a screenshot? I can't watch it right now.  Also even if it wasn't mirrored, it looks like poo poo if you put it next to a photo of a PzIV. Plus, gray paint in 1944. It's like they didn't do any research at all!

Ensign Expendable posted:
So, just with this photo I'm thinking the following: -Looks mirrored. The random piece on the right fender matches up with an unmirrored left, but might be a quality issue. -The main gun's mantlet is wrong. -The ball gun in the hull is too high -The driver's armoured cover looks to be for the early type, not the proper later-war type. This one might just be the angle and low quality though.

The MG ball is completely wrong. The roof of the driver's compartment is far too sloped, but that might be a camera thing. What's more concerning is that I can't see a commander's cupola.

What's more concerning is that I can't see a commander's cupola. The MG ball isn't completely wrong, in that they at least got a ball shape done. Everything else about it is wrong, yeah. I also think the roof is far too sloped. Missed the cupola, I'm going to laugh if they put that short Tiger cupola or the stationary one like you see with the StuG IV.

"Look we're diverse! we got a BRITISH SOLDIER, and later in the game there are black American soldiers, a lady, a child and a Jewish person!" These guys are going to get eaten alive. IMO, a good WW2 game single player should be thus: Single Player Prologue Tutorial: Nationalist Chinese against the Japanese in the mid to late thirties. 1st section early 2nd World War, Battle of France Dunkirk through Brit/French soldier eyes. North Africa campaign with ANZAC at Tobruk, end with US soldiers in North Africa during Torch. 2nd part of the game: Invasion of the Soviet Union to the Battle of Moscow as several Red Army soldiers, Italian Campaign as Free French or Polish and Normandy as the Canadians on D-Day. Final part of the game, The British fighting in Holland or Belgium and the Red Army pushing back the Japanese in Manchuria.

Cyrano4747 posted:It's almost like this is a mass product for a general audience that doesn't know or care about geeky mil hist poo poo beyond "I shoot the nazis and my gun goes ping" I mean yeah. I'm actually interested in a CoD game for the first time since 4 because CoD games are at their best for me when it's an affordable version of a Hollywood action movie. I just hope they don't have mandatory onscreen messages consisting of "PLEASE RELOAD THIS 5-ROUND WEAPON" or "YOU HAVE BEEN SHOT DONT STAND IN THE OPEN" that you can't loving get rid of ever.

Happy Birthday to US Grant Given that the most enduring image of him is on the $50, I'm always struck by how gaunt he (and Sherman) looks in ACW photos.
