  • "Who controls the past controls the future; who controls the present controls the past". Vanguard is a masterclass in both historical revisionism, and being a professionally bad game. Every year this franchise comes around and I love to hate, it is essentially a guilty pleasure of mine. This year it made me sick-up a bit in my mouth. You know those schools that get covertly infiltrated by activists, who then promptly start to change the school syllabus to service a particular agenda? Well if you do, then Vanguard should feel comfortably familiar.

    The diversity is ridiculous. In BF2042 the medic is a 50 yr old woman who is supposedly also a special forces operator. I was in the united states army for 8 years, anyone over 50 is not in the fight anymore. They either retire or get so high in rank they are no longer on the front lines.

Despite still marking the 2 teams as the US and Russia, it makes no sense whatsoever but as long as DICE can sell their skins and cram characters in battle passes they’re happy.

    Compared to this crackpot of a game Vanguard, World at War made you experience the second world war the way it should be: gruesome, brutal, the story of humanity hell bent on killing each other. From burning Japanese alive with a flamethrower, watching your squadmate's throat get slitted in front of you, to the Nazis murdering survivors in a fountain in Stalingrad and the vengeance of the Red Army against any Nazi they see.
    Perhaps that's what made World at War so good: it makes you see and commit questionable actions to make you understand that war is bad and we should do everything to stop it. Not this kind of hodgepodge pushing an agenda no worse than the extremes on the other side.

      @@hydrolox3953 Er, America did not do a majority of the fighting on the Western front.
      First off they only really showed up in 1944 and their airforce 43.
      Secondly DDAY was entirely planned by the British commonwealth, all the logistics/artillery/air support/naval operations was British commonwealth. 3/5 beaches were taken by British commonwealth and Omaha wasnt any harder than any other beach.
      DDAY didn’t even require the US to be there - that was a later plan, there were 124 commonwealth divisions ready the two who took Omaha + Utah weren’t “needed” so to speak.
      The U.K. discounting colonies and lend lease produced 3x as many tanks - and generally better tanks, 2x as many planes - and the spitfire was year on year the fastest piston engines fighter of the war until the P-47M in 1945 - and 4x the naval vessels.
      No, I’m not discounting the American contribution, but it was just that, a contribution. The view the British were a minor underdog who bravely stood against a massive Nazi reich is false - and painted by the British press after the war. The U.K. was the largest empire and combined economy and manufacturing base in the entire world - the U.K. outproduced Germany to such an extent there was zero hope of Germany winning after 1940. The Manhattan project (the research portion) was almost entirely done by the U.K. (American industry was crucial to manufacture the entire bomb - but the U.K. basically wrote the “instructions”.
      It was estimated enough atomb bombs would be ready using Belgian Congo uranium by the 1947 to defeat the Nazis.
      As I said the British manufacturing base was far larger than the Nazis - and after RAF bombing started (destroying 40% of Nazi factories, and nearly half of all the war materiel produced by the Nazis were spent just against the RAF not even including the USSR or USAAF).
      The Royal Naval blockade created all of Germanys resource issues throughout the war. They were starving in winter 1940 and after securing the largest arms for grain deal with the USSR in history they invaded because the Nazis were broke and had no hope of economic survival but through conquest.
      17 Million British soldiers fought in the war, this doesn’t include the colossal contribution made by Canada, Australia, India (which assembled the largest volunteer only army in history of 2.5 million troops), New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia, and other commonwealth territories.
      The idea the UK did any less than the US in WWII is patently false, and the UK is the only one of the “main powers” without who the war would have been unwinnable - regardless of that only being the fact for the USA because they needed an unsinkable launching pad lol.
      40% of Russian medium and heavy tanks available in 1941 and 1942 were British made tanks. Moscow, St Petersburg, and Stalingrad would certainly have fallen without them.
      And finally, No, I’m not denigrating what the US did, all I’m saying is acting like the U.K. was “saved” when the war was being won by December 1941 or that America did everything or even more is insulting. American civilians didn’t die in the war (well, 8 did). I could very obviously list all the accomplishments the Americans made in the war here and it would be pages long. Their resources they provided were absolutely crucial and they did the vast majority of the work against Japan. However they certainly didn’t do more on the western front - the fact nearly half the Nazi economy was producing AA guns, ammunition, aircraft, and repairing buildings to counter solely RAF bombings proves this. No, I’m not anti American, I am American however havw U.K. citizenship as well and have spent 10 years of my life there and the lack of knowledge and care amongst a minority of Americans for what the UK actually did during WWII is shocking considering without them Europe would now be controlled by Nazis.

Due to the stereotyping of women throughout history, many have been utterly shocked by the actions of female Nazi guards because, other than the actions being unspeakable, they were simply female. This, of course, is a pretty outdated view as evil has no gender and it is perfectly plausible for the perpetrators to be male or female.

    Verdun is a game that knows how to display diversity while respecting history by only including non-white units that actually fought on the Western Front in WW1, and by having them in their own separate faction with their own uniforms. This way, you get your diversity without turning half the British Army into Indians, and seemingly the entire German Army into Africans.

    I totally agree about the "voting the winner" BS.
    I oh-so-rarely get top boards, or the best plays, or top killstreaks in ANY CoD game. In ALL my CoD history. (I was never able to get a nuke, even though i wanted to.)
    It was rare af.
    So when it DID happen, which it did once in awhile, it was *enormously satisfying.*

    I was watching Activision address their stockholders a few years back. They quoted a statistic about how much time the average player is spending in game. I think nonsense like the MVP vote isn't to make people feel better, I think it's to keep people in the game for longer. I also think the lobbies disbanding after each match has a ton to do with this as well.

      What’s funny I read a while ago that stockholders were concerned that Activision wasn’t selling enough games maybe 10 years back. What caught the stockholders attention was Activision’s decision to pull the plug on Guitar Hero and they noticed Activision didn’t have as much IPs compared to EA, TAKE-TWO and Ubisoft and said they shouldn’t rely on COD.

    Yeah Call of Duty: Ghosts was the beginning on the CoD's decline in my opinion. Ever since then it just hasn't been the same and I haven't really been into the franchise. Black Ops 1 is in my opinion the best CoD game of all-time. Amazing campaign, badass multiplayer with awesome maps and game modes (gun game/sticks and stones), weapon selection as well as zombies. All around fantastic game.

The guy was promoted in the shoulders but demoted in the collar :) Destroying history is not enough. They must fuck with the rank system too.
    Another thing that I caught @ 46:24: The interrogator is supposed to be Gestapo (Sicherheitsdienst insignia in the left sleeve). So, he shouldn't have a SS insignia in the right collar.
