So they posted character-based trailers for the all the faceless gun-folk you are going to play in game.

Obviously they are chasing Woke Optics here by adding women and non-white folks. (Cool, plenty of them in WW2)

They've got a Japanese-ethnic dude in the US Army
A black guy with the UK
A woman with the Soviets


But this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8pFKKA6k44

They have an anticolonialist brown Indian woman fighting to liberate her country from colonialist oppressors.

These colonialist oppressors who control India are apparently... the Nazis?

Did this game forget which loving white people colonized India?

who cares about historical accuracy in a call of duty game in 2021 lmao. a bloo bloo they got brown girls in my warcrimes franchise :qq::qq::qq:

the (presumed) dogshit in-game voice comms would argue otherwise

on the bright side the return of death mics would be nice, i guess!

It’s always been a thing but I feel like since about 2015 people have gotten louder and louder about “anachronistic” or just “unrealistic” things in COD and battlefield. Two games that have never billed themselves as simulators.

world war 2 is a huge (and I mean H U G E ) factor for the MAGA/proud boys crowd. also, there's an entire generation of frustrated men on the web who were sold a bill of goods (work hard, american dream, yadda yadda) that never manifested and now they seek solace in the halcyon days of the White American Male. any attempt to tread beyond ceremonial bowing at the temple of the western chauvinist upsets their delicate sensibilities and it's free to try and post through it

nobody cared about authentic guns and the identity of the operators when we were in space with jet-assisted double jumping and wall running so perhaps it'd be best for us to just go back to that

shotguns being good in cod is fun because shotguns are fun but at the same time bad because then people are mad at you for killing them with a good gun (ok, fine) versus people being mad at you for killing them with a bad gun (excellent, love to see it, sigma behavior, etc.)
