I remember when we were pointing out that COD: WW II is complete trash for its idiotic diversity. Now it's suddenly a good example of what it should be.
Four years of pure decline and civilizational collapse.
I understand that the black dude is in fact given credit for heroic things a white dude did.
Did not read the details.
He's extremely loosely based on a British black paratrooper NCO (?) who didn't even have a Wikipedia article but did a heroic action along with his CO for which he got a medal (not the VC).
I can't remember the reviewer, I think I seen it posted on reddit, either KIA or KIA2 that broke it down. Not being a big COD fan to begin with I did not give it to much attention.
both CoD and Battlefield is garbage.
This is why I don't want to buy the game. The multiplayer is fun, but seeing a black and Indian women in frontline combat in WWII takes me out of the game because it didn't fucking happen.
I'm not even going to talk about red dot sights in WWII...
Even this author gets it wrong. Not everything needs to be a learning lesson about diversity "there weren't women snipers in the US military in WW2 and that's bad, it wasn't only RAYCIS German Nazi's!" Is like the most woke cannibalizing wokeness I've ever heard. He's so woke he thinks he's based
Dude. Women and blacks weren't super common the military period in WW2 and it is what it is. No lesson needed. Shit happens. Who the fuck cares.
If blacks want a game that has diversity representation, maybe COD could make Call of Duty: Streets of Chicago. And literally all the playable characters should be exclusively black. It's black enough AND historically accurate.
There are no playable Germans at all.
