The 442nd were hardcore bastards after the shit we put them through as basically a Soviet-style penal force. Casualty rates were out the ass thanks to a high command and commanding officer that treated them as disposable or worse. A lot of medals were handed out to those poor guys, far too many of them posthumously.

The first Blackops was sort of Vietnam era but it's a place COD has never gone before.

What about CoD World at War?

Tried BFV out to scratch my ww2 itch. Its impressive how bad it is compared to BF1. Didn't even finish fg42 grind before dropping it.

There are so many dumb challenges just to get one gold weapon part, it's ridiculous. As for the game itself, it doesn't feel like a WW2 game. The lack of iconic locations doesn't help either. It's unbelievable that DICE refused to make a D-Day map for Rush or Conquest.

This video still remains relevant a year and a half later

Sad thing is, that video's not that much of an exaggeration. You can play as the Japanese defending Midway (how the fuck did they manage to screw up even that detail?) with krauts that look suspiciously like the Phantom of the Opera and a female Psycho Mantis. That's just one example of the sheer nonsense that DICE allowed to happen, I can't even imagine how they'd treat a new Vietnam game.
 
Glassdoor reviews of DICE Stockholm don't paint a pretty picture. The studio appears to be pozzed, and the malignant growth is driving out talent.

This explains all the bullshit going on the past few years. In BF1, they kinda dipped their toes in the water by having token soldiers. In BFV, they went all in and full retard. Combine that with the drive to cash in on the Battle Royale genre and you have the perfect dumpster fire.

For years, even before GG/SJWs, there's this common sentiment that game studios are piloted by incompetent/lazy turds, and there would always be some pushback against this idea, focusing the blame on corporate inertia, lack of dev resources, and the general complexity of a video game. Back then, the latter seemed more sensible, now, especially with the recent Naughty Dog leaks, the former looks to be the case.

There was a story about a german game journo who was part of the Game Changers, he got to meet the devs of DICE and apparently when the blacklash happened they just didn't care, they have 0 passion or respect for the Battlefield franchise.
The whole "#EveryonesBattlefield" event with the Game Changers/sellouts was a big proof of that.
I agree with you, BF1 was the beginning of the end. The lack of gun customization, the "mobile game" UI, the server browser that works half the time, etc.

I have mixed feelings about gun attachments. On one hand, it's seems like you have less control, but most guns have "correct" attachments in that any other combination apart from the one or two configs are subpar. Then again, this is coming from an Operation Locker tryhard that runs stubby only on fast/heavy hitting guns and heavy ergo on slow shooters.

Well, they're EA. We all know how that story ends if things get bad enough.

remember when shit got so bad people were actually glad to get battlelog because it was independent of dice sweden's retarded patch schedule and general incompetence? pepperidge farm remembers.
and then people cheered when they combined it again, at this point those retards deserve getting fucked over with every shitty battlefield they buy the premium edition of at launch.

May be where "bionic arm" may be taken from


At best one may say its false advertisement. Females did serve in war but it was rare, like very rare. It was often male on male war. Only exception was Soviet Union when they got hit critically by Germans... Now why they didnt pick soviets for that... I have no clue lol.

But Japanese female soldiers were not a thing, with exception i think when Okinawa got attacked or something during WW2. So while they existed it was not as huge as guys in a sense.
 
 
EA really had to cuck my shit up with their update today.
