The sad thing is, unlike 2042 BFV had the ground work for something great, it still felt like battlefield to some extent but there was so many problems it just fell through the cracks.
The issue wasn’t that the trailer had a woman in it. The issue was that the trailer had a disabled British woman with a steampunk prosthetic arm in an American military unit next to a dude with a katana. Then, when players understandably criticized this, DICE came out and called them all sexist pigs and told them not to buy the game… so they didn’t. As you pointed out, DICE has always prided itself on having a more historically accurate game environment. However, they tried to use the rare presence of women in obscure appearances in WW2 to say that their trailer had nothing wrong with it and then decry any dissenters as evil sexists.
This is just my opinion, but all DICE and EA had to say in response to BFV was something to the effect of "We don't want to focus on historical accuracy, we want to experiment." At least then *some* fans would've given it a chance. But instead, DICE and EA had to talk down to it's player base and the game undersold.
Its like Dice said "we need to address historical social injustices" and include women for the sake of including more women and making a campaign mission about racism. We dont want that, we want a full bodied, historically accurate shooter. Just learn from previous successful games, stop trying to woke everything up
BF1 was really beautiful and fun.
