This is the problem the older CODS like COD 2, 3, Big Red One they are more accurate to WW2 than modern also that Black British Airborne soldier is based off a real British paratrooper SGT Sydney Cornell and was highly respected by those he served with.
At this point, I just rolled my eyes when the trailer first hit. This is just exactly like when Battlefield 5 first came out. Sanitized, politically correct, made for modern audiences Fast and Furious WWII. But Activision actually managed to even be more woke then Battlefield.
TBF though the USA have been doing that for years also, remember Bon Jovi capturing the enigma machine? Movie fails to point out that the British were the ones to do so? However I do get the modern trend to re ethnicity branding. Although the black para trooper in the game ( British not USA by the way) in the game is based on a real person, who did some really brave shit, for some reason though they change the narrative to make him do what a white officer did.
@@rodinclaus9380 they said its alternativ history so they not claiming that what they telling is history like i hate the new games aswell but the woke part is the least amount of my worries
The entirety of the WW2 conflict lasted from 1936 to 1945 (if we count the chinese-japanese war and the spanish civil war) and they still take the same 4 battle EVERY FUCKING TIME
It’s always Normandy, Stalingrad, and pacific. Why not Kursk? Why not battle of Berlin from the German perspective? Why not Italian campaign? Why not Japanese campaign?
The earlier CoDs were much better in terms of the levels and representation even though the latter isn't so important. Strange isn't it? In Finest Hour you had the female Sov sniper and the black US tankers who got their fair shake. In 3, you had Free Poles. In Finest Hour, you fought against Vichy French and Italians.
I do remember all of that but I cannot remember fighting Vichy France and I think you a thinking of another cod as the 3 main chapters were Stalingrad, North Africa and and the rine but i could be wrong if you could let me know what level it would have been I would probably remember
'Call Of Duty 2: The Big Red One' you fought against the Vichy French and Italians. I don't recall fighting French or Italians in 'Call of Duty: Finest Hour'.
@@yanisbaker881 the French Resistance appeared in COD 3. In Finest Hour, It is the Soviets in Battle of Stalingrad, British in North Africa, and Americans in pushing to Aachen and Remagen.
Greetings from Finland. Glad to hear you'd consider Finns as part of COD. In reality, we all know its not going to happen because we fought side by side with Germans against a common enemy. Altough we were just fighting against tyranny and for our freedom, we are still considered the bad guys (by some people, not all). I am also super bored with all the same missions in the same environments, but also super angry for alternating history and the incompetence for getting things done right, meaning not having Tiger tanks in 1939 etc. And the political correctness.. Well Im not going to say anything about that..
🦌In the video at 9:22: In the Stalingrad execution scene, a German soldier walks next to the panzer vehicle with a Skeleton on his helmet, which in reality only the Finns did.
Greetings from Brazil. I'd love to hear more about the Finland's fight against tirany. I know your pain. The Brazilian Expeditionary Force fought in Italy. They suffered only 948 casualties and made 20,500 prisoners, including two generals and 900 officers. However, our accomplishments remain mostly unknown.
I think they'd mentally break down if they had to make an Axis focused campaign. They would have to invest time in to researching German soldiers and such, and may see humanity in a lot of them.
It’s sad because it would make for a cool campaign if done correctly. But nope not in this political climate. “Wehrmacht pure evil grrrrrr!” -some blue hair on Twitter.
I would love to play as a wehrmacht soldier invading Poland, occupying it a bit. Only to start walking around and beat up SSers. After the SSers cool down with their harshness on the Poles, then you get send to France for the Schlieffen Plan 2.0 All the while talking about demoralising stuff such as 'Can we really trust the Poles to the SS?' is a big taboe to talk about because there is a war to win. Yeah I would love that Campaign, but it would be so messed up that the story will be absolutely the main topic for lots of discussions about games. "Humanizing nazis" "Dehumanizing the Allies and the Soviets" "Justifying the Invasion of Poland" "Western Propaganda" "Alt-Right Propaganda" Yeah I think no developer in these times will jump into a raging inferno like that.
@@MrDwarfpitcher I like to think Dehumanizing Soviets was covered very greatly with World at War, given how a lot of Reznov’s interactions towards the axis is and how his comrades go along with it while you either play along or watch it unfold
This is the big problem with devs trying to make ww2 games, if you want to make a good ww2 game you gotta have balls, and thats what most devs not have because they want to appeal to everyone and be politically correct so that they don't get cancelled or some shit, if you're not gonna tell a good ww2 story then don't do it
We will not see a actual historically accurate cod for a while. Things have to be politically correct and not offend anyone. It’s bull. I would’ve been fine if they said this game was alternate history and not historically accurate, but they did the exact opposite. This game is full of political nonsense meant to push an agenda that doesn’t belong in a WW2 game. I’m mad because they claimed the game to be one thing, and did the complete opposite. It’s a disgrace to the veterans and soldiers who fought in the war. It’s a disgrace to history itself.
It literally is alternate history. Like you truly believe a collective of random military troops from multiple fronts were sent to Berlin to stop a plot to replace Hitler with a new dictator and rebuild nazi Germany elsewhere? Like seriously? Also it’s funny to hear folks cry about history being rewritten and inaccurate when a lot of what was gathered, especially from the Germans about the soviets was self-serving bull. The literal losers wrote history and we accepted it as fact calling any course correcting “rewriting history”.
@@TonyGonzales2 It doesn't have to be accurate.. But the inaccuracy of cod vanguard is just emberrassing. The story doesn't make any sense...Annoying sjw bs... It is just an absolute failure of a game.
 the game does suck and the campaign doesn’t make sense, that I can understand but why is it SJW if it’s kinda being a euphemism for the war being the world against the axis powers?
 it’s not because there were colored people right? Or the Nazis were depicted like bad guys like the real counterparts? Is that the SJW stuff that irks you?
The biggest inaccuracies was the Stalingrad Campaign. The Nazis with it's Luftwaffe (Luftflotte 4) first bombed the city on August 23, 1942 (And would keep on doing it daily onwards until their troops got to close) (and the bombers were around 4000 meters high give or take) . The Wehrmacht would not enter the city until September 14, 1942 at 0630 local (a full 22 days later). And they struck the north and center of the city It's objective was securing a hill call Mamayev Kurgan, before moving inwards. The 51st Corp led that charge. The 4th Panzer was to attack from the southeast of Stalingrad shortly after the 51st Corp. The 14th Corp later struck from the North (Orlovka, Rynok and Spartanovka,) (Note they They did not even reach the center of the city until September 21st, 1942 and would not declare it "Secured" until September 24, 1942. (Had to make corrections involving the 14th Corp. I stated they struck Orlovka, Rynok and Spartanovka, on September 14, 1942. But they attacked those areas on August 23, 1942. They did not launch any offensive on Stalingrad proper until later. They mainly defended the Northern Flanks of the 51st Corp which was attacking the city proper)
Yeah I always thought it could be like you play as a German soldier for half of missions and a Japanese soldier or Italian for the other half. Like how WaW did with the Marines and Soviets
15:17 Well, in Call of Duty World at War, there was a mission called "Black Cats", were you have to destroy a fleet of ammunition carriers with 2 PBY's and afterwords you had to fight against a bunch of Zeros and rescue your team mates from a attacked fleet, so that kind of mission isn't really new ^^
Correction on what you said about the “showing a black paratrooper on D-Day” thing. One of the main characters of the game, Sgt Arthur Kingsley is based on a actual British paratrooper named Sydney Cornell, a Afro-British Para who served as a runner for B Company, 7th Para. For his excellence in combat during the Normandy Campaign, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and promoted to Sergeant. He continued to fight with B Company until April 7th, 1945 when he and 24 other paratroopers were killed by a demolished bridge Neustadt while they were capturing said bridge. And also the American soldiers in the pacific mission are actually troops from the 25th Infantry Regiment of the 93rd Infantry Division
Glad you’ve said that, was about to type it out myself but you’ve saved me a job. Check out “worth a buy” Mack does a good job of explaining that and how they swapped his actions for that of an officer
Which doesn't make sense, because the battle being portrayed is supposed to be Piva Forks (or the Battle of Numa-Numa Trail) which took place between the 18th and 25th of November, 1943. The 93rd Division didn't depart San Francisco until January 25th, 1944, arrived on Guadalcanal in February and March and wasn't deployed to Bougainville until April '44.
Well why not depict the correct version of history then . This game is so far from accurate....if you like playing an accurate representation of history this is not a game for you. ....If you dont give a shyt you might enjoy it.
Sydney Cornell was a private, born in Plymouth to a working class family, not an aristocratic twerp from Cameroon who leads a woke special forces unit. If they’re going to represent the real man they’ve done it extremely poorly. Do you think Sydney Cornell would’ve wanted to have been remembered as some woke posh pleb? Or made out to be by some video game? Most likely not.
2:36 Made me realize we need a White Death COD game. Or maybe it could be a different franchise so it could actually be tolerable and playable. Great idea!
I thought very long about a WW2 Hungarian Campaign and how cool it would be. I mean, I can understand why game designers don't wan't to make many German campaigns or storys but what about Germanys Allies? As you said Hungary. I've heard many Hungarian soldiers weren't even “real“ Hungarians, they were from different minorities that lived in the territorys the Germans gave to the Hungarians before the war (correct me if I'm wrong) and because of that they weren't too motivated. But overall the Hungarians performed pretty well until Stalingrad. And I don't know about many big war crimes the Hungarians committed on their way so that wouldn't be a big morale problem for the designers. You could show the struggle with those minorities, the struggle with the Equipment which was often very little (same as all units in the southern part of the UdSSR) but still going on fighting. You could show Hungarian soldiers bromancing with the Poles at Warsaw or defending Budapest to the last and under the pressure of both German and Hungarian political troops. Same with the Multiplayer. Why does it always have to be the Germans? Why can't you just make one map where the Axis are portrayed by another country or even simpler, by foreign volunteers (or conscripts) in the German ranks. That would be so cool to see but I think all of that will stay a dream
@@kingstar0084 If you’re wondering why the Hungarians aren’t included it’s because there’s simply a lack of people who are interested as Hungary is a small country in which only a small segment of the population would be interested, and for those unconnected to Hungary even proper historians will overlook Hungary so this does little to spread awareness amongst WW2 buffs that Hungary was even a part of the war. This lack of a market for media producers means that their unlikely to see any Magyar Királyi Honvédség media return a profit on their investment.
17:12 also did u notice how Activision completely fucked up the closed bolt system of the stem gun😂😂 like if the sten actually worked like that, the bolt wouldn’t kept hitting the shooters face bruising it 😂😂 lmfao.... how could Activision make such an obvious mistake... so obvious that a 5yr old kid can spot
Not just that either! The bolt also seems to be backwards, the stock is on sideways, the magwell and magazine are at an angle, Kingsley’s fingers are in front of the ejection port, and said ejection port isn’t even ejecting shells! There’s probably even more I haven’t found. The whole thing is fucked up.
It’s not ww2 game it’s Fantasy. As a reenactor the clothes are the easiest thing to get right on the character models. None of them are right, literally none. Also British paratroopers demobilised some batteries near the beaches.
That's really dumb COD keeps "telling a story about how everyone are human! Except Germans, they're not human" They keep making these scenes with Germans killing civilians and how they're *horrible* but the protagonists kill thousands of Germans without a second thought.
Agree. At the end of the war you had Germans, Americans, an American Tank and civilians fighting together in a castle against SS. These are the sort of stories they could use. But wont.
Actually, the thing with the pistol has actually happened. An American pilot did use his Colt 45. to shoot down a zero fighter, while though, he was parachuting out of his damaged aircraft, like, ever crazier, he took the pilot out, while in mid air. Search it up. Also, world at war is fucking awesome
The black soldier is based on Sidney Cornell he is the First Black paratrooper of the 7th parachute battalion 🇬🇧 to Land in Normandy behind enemy lines on D-Day he Earned the DCM for Bravery he was killed on 7/8 April 1945 aged 29
2:35 WW2 gaming needs more Finland. The Winter War was a relatively short, but extremely dramatic part of the larger conflict that gets too little attention in media outside of Finland itself. Poland, too, needs more attention. Interestingly, both of these theatres of war have the Soviets as the "bad guys" and for some reason that's not a popular reality.
I remember in COD 1(?) where you had the mission of pegasus bridge. I mean that was something totally different that we don't see anymore. These small missions that no one knows about
I'm sticking with Call Of Duty 2 (2005), and Call Of Duty World At War. They are compatible for the Xbox One. Also if you want a WW2 game based on Operation Market Garden I recommend Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway. It's also compatible for the Xbox one.
As a Brazilian i would like to see a game showing the history of the Smoking snakes. 25000 of brazilian soldiers were deployed to fought against the germans in italy.
1. British Paratrooper Sidney Cornwell: 7th Paratrooper Division 2. Russian Female Sniper: "Lady Death" 3. African-American Army Divisions: either the 93rd Infantry Division or the 24th Infantry Regiment aka 'Buffalo Soldiers'. Not necessarily historically inaccurate, but there are some stereotypes such as the classic 'evil white male Nazi'. NOT ALL GERMAN SOLDIERS WERE EVIL, PEOPLE!!! Some were just fighting for their country and survival. Some were even tired of fighting and wanted to surrender. But then you have the actual sick, twisted, evil officers that were so brainwashed by the National Socialist Party that they were basically mindless robots. If anything, the Soviets in the WWII era were just as bad as the SS and Gestapo. They killed everyone, took no prisoners, r**ed and burned and everything in between, and it was all in the name of revenge and 'Glory for the Motherland and Stalin'. The fighting on the Eastern Front got so bad, that the German Army often threatened to send their own soldiers there if they went out of line on the Western or Home Front. It was practically a death sentence. Heck, in 1945, when the war was coming to an end, some officers wanted to surrender to the Allies on the Western Front because they knew that they wouldn't be killed instantly and on sight by the Americans and British, unlike the Soviets, who (again) took no prisoners. There were also some German soldiers and officers, who played a part in the beginning stages of the Holocaust, that felt shame, guilt, and regret after they executed Jewish citizens. But nooo! Society today just has to shove it into our faces that, no matter if they were still human and have feelings and feel regret and guilt, all WWII German Soldiers are evil. What the heck is this world coming too????
If WWII German were so inherently evil then why the hell US still recruit the Nazi to assist NASA instead? Yeah, this war was stalemate, nobody wins, and everybody lose.
@@majorblitz3846 exactly. But, like I said before. Some were either forced to do the biddings of Hitler and his cronies, or were brainwashed into thinking they were doing the right thing. That's why some Nazi scientists and whatnot defected to the Western Allies, especially the US, to get away from that, start a new life, and make themselves feel better by doing something good and beneficial for all of mankind, like putting a man on the moon.
Insanity, i would rather watch Captain America: First Avenger.. I choose HYDRA as full enemy of Vanguard because HYDRA is Vanguard like Avengers enemies.
I wish they went the COD 5 route…… with modern technology we could have had a stand alone campaign for more than one country. Like how battlefield has war stories but at a larger scale (battlefield stories are too short imo) imagine being able to play as a Japanese pilot bombing Pearl Harbor and then playing as an American pilot for coral sea or midway or both sides of the war in Stalingrad!
Why has the battle of Iwo Jima never been covered except for history channels wwii game…one of the most important battles of WWII and its completely neglected…at least from a major developer
Unless you count the renditions in the battlefield series bfv has a hard landing at the beach and the op ends at the peak of mt suribachi its very intense.
A "man in the high castle" inspired alt history game could be fantastic...... Or a hot woke mess. To be honest, I'm done with these types of games, can't even honour the fallen anymore. The game playing as a Gurkha fighting through Burma.... Back in the roim
If you want a game where the axis won you should play Wolfenstein, I have to warn you that it is really bad from a historical accuracy point of view, but really fun from a fun point of wiew
In the western front campaign I think they actually potrayed Sergeant Sidney Cornell which was a black british parathropper. So it could be historically accurate in that moment instead of being unhistorically accurate.
@BLAZE I heard about the story ,the game character was model after the historical black British paratrooper but his deeds and achievements were not portrayed or replaced with another soldier's actions even the character's name is taken from a white British senior officer. Also born into a rich family in Cameron and study at Oxford Britain.
Been saying this for years I’m so happy to see someone with the same mind. I would love to play as the Spanish blue division or Leon degrelle’s wallonia division in the battle of cherkassy. Give me anything from that side. Just to mention my grandad was in the British army as a dispatch rider for the whole North African campaign. However I love the German side.
I could see so much potential in a game where you'd play as either a German soldier from the beginning of Barbarossa through the end of Stalingrad and possibly beyond or a Chinese/Japanese soldier fighting in the late 30s. There's no way any devs would be willing to touch either of these ideas with a 30 foot pole though.
I don't play ww2 games anymore. I'm so tired of shooting at germans as if they were zombies, we are not in the early 2000's anymore games nowadays should be deeper. Also wokeness is a plague that ruins everything, movies, videogames, comedy, companies, academia, everyone outside the woke bubble is tired of it. I would totally play a FPS from the axis perspective, I don't think it would be controversial at all but of course many journalists who don't care about history or videogames at all would try to outrage that tiny section of society unable to live their own lives, that just dedicate all their time to tell others on internet what is moral and what is not, and bully everyone that disagrees. So we won't have any FPS with an axis single player campaign for a very long time. At most, strategy games, because selecting units and telling them to go shoot at americans is ok, but shooting americans in first person is the worst crime ever.
You have great books from the german perspective such as "Forgotten Soldier" as a template where everything is included: the good, the bad. Horrors of war, war crimes, but also camaraderie and solidarity. Not just Nazi officers barking orders. Or some real heroism like the last battles of the 12th and 9th Armies. But I don't trust today's developers to do something as sensitive as a German campaign without drifting into absolute clichés
@@acatthatlookslikehitler1277 Some people want to play interesting games, others, love consuming the same old overused propaganda again and again. It keeps getting more silly after each new delivery but you still need your dose like an addict. Probably the next ww2 shooter will have the player storming omaha beach as a black transexual muslim paratrooper shooting at the germans with an mg42 with an holographic sight while yelling "black lives matter".
@@veewsol7078 Alright, I do regret saying “fuck you” but I do understand your fears. A lot of kids play these games and think that there were super soldier but they’ll grow out of it. As Atun-Shei Flims once said “ask a kid about the middle ages and they’ll say there was dragons, they’ll grow out of it eventually.” What Atun said is very true.
As you rightly pointed out... 2.6 million Indians fought in WW2 from the British side.....so many WW2 games still not a single Indian character portrayed.....Congrats on the book 👍
Shhh... we don't talk about Germans being anything other than white supremacists hellbent on world domination and extermination of everything not white. Its... not kosher.
3:20 the caps they are wearing are not even World War 2 caps, but rather the Vietnam War standard issue service cap 15:10 it actually isn’t copied, American and Japanese soldiers who saw the “Akagi” aircraft carrier explode said that it was a chain explosion, starting from the bow.
I agree. I switched years and years ago from Call of Duty (s) to grand strategy games, as I got tired of always killing the same enemies over and over again!
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Germans employed Panzer 4 with the upgraded long-barrel 75mm during the African campaign until way later.
The German army in WW2 was one of the most diverse armies in the world(thanks to their recruitment and conscription of people from conquered states)….quite ironic isn’t it…..
I'm very disappointed with the Pacific campaign. I cried when they announced a Pacific campaign because I wanted that so bad, but when I saw the American helmets i got so disappointed because the marines had camouflaged helmets not army helmets, unless these are army and not marines but I wanted to play as USMC
13:22 after coming back to this trailer after seeing the game, what I don't understand is that the trailer had the type 99 mg for the japanese, yet in the game its nowhere to be found and instead the japanese have mg42's
Why did you get so mad a the scene of the Germans executing the resistance fighters? That happened all the time. All German solders weren't inherently evil, but many did evil things.
Because it's too common in media. Germans are dehumanized so the player/viewer doesnt feel bad when the good guys come in to save the day. It's like saying there were no "good" german soldiers.
Because you know they won't show the true soviet victory scene where they take berlin and have their way with women and children in the streets. Good guys lost WW2 change my mind.
8:04 the character who is inspired by the real one didn’t fought in Stalingrad instead it was the real valseli who was the greatest sniper in Stalingrad
Ik this is six months old, and may never be seen, but I would personally love a COD game where you start as a down on your luck German and the prologue mission is you as a civilian getting into the NSDAP and working up the ranks into the paramilitary of the party, then it ends with you pledging loyalty to Hitler as a member of the SS, before they take power officially. Then it cuts to you as a trooper in the Heer on the day of the invasion of Poland and the first two-three missions after the prologue focus on the invasion of Poland, then the first arch ends with you marching alongside the Soviets in the historic German-Soviet victory parade. Then it cuts to you as a young man in the Italian army on the eve of the Yugoslavian invasion and the next few missions focus on the Italian war in Yugoslavia and Greece. Then you can have a choice to finish the game as an Italian trooper who fights in the East, then dies on the last day of the Italian civil war or that German trooper who commands his own unit and survives until surrendering to the allies in the American occupation zone on the east bank of the Rhine. There could also be an option to play an alt history campaign as a Spaniard who fights though the civil war on the side of Franco, then joins the Blue Division and actually helps the axis take Leningrad and secure a German-Soviet armistice after your unit helps take Moscow once the Leningrad missions end. The final mission sees you marching into Moscow with your unit in a victory parade, but well on parade you find and shoot Stalin. After he’s confirmed dead the credits roll on the alternate history campaign.
well as one i think the greeks are forgoten by every one even tho h1tler and churchill said we had the best defense (for poorly trained everyday people) (btw the resistance was help for 229 days)
Imagine playing both sides, you play for example as an american paratrooper and later u play as a normal wehrmacht soldier. In a key point of the story you facing each other, you get shot and wounded, but the americans actually treating ur wounds and just take u as war prisoner. that would be something interesting. No klishees, but more realism, how war really works. No stupid evil vs good and useless patriotism. Also what would be rly intersting, playing as an japanese soldier getting caught and in the end u come home to your city Hiroshima, but all that u can find are the ruins of your hometown.

Completely agree with you. WWII is so diverse that they can pick almost any country, African and Asian, and it probably participated.

Greetings from Finland. Glad to hear you'd consider Finns as part of COD. In reality, we all know its not going to happen because we fought side by side with Germans against a common enemy. Altough we were just fighting against tyranny and for our freedom, we are still considered the bad guys (by some people, not all). I am also super bored with all the same missions in the same environments, but also super angry for alternating history and the incompetence for getting things done right, meaning not having Tiger tanks in 1939 etc. And the political correctness.. Well Im not going to say anything about that..
🦌In the video at 9:22:
In the Stalingrad execution scene, a German soldier walks next to the panzer vehicle with a Skeleton on his helmet, which in reality only the Finns did.
Greetings from Brazil. I'd love to hear more about the Finland's fight against tirany.
I know your pain. The Brazilian Expeditionary Force fought in Italy. They suffered only 948 casualties and made 20,500 prisoners, including two generals and 900 officers. However, our accomplishments remain mostly unknown.
It is really sad the Finns aren’t portrayed in most games, even though they fought just as brave as the rest.

Call to Arms Ostfront recently put out Finland dlc, which is pretty cool.
I think they'd mentally break down if they had to make an Axis focused campaign. They would have to invest time in to researching German soldiers and such, and may see humanity in a lot of them.
It’s sad because it would make for a cool campaign if done correctly. But nope not in this political climate. “Wehrmacht pure evil grrrrrr!” -some blue hair on Twitter.
Of course the nazis had many war criminals and monsters in the Wehrmacht but a lot of them were just normal men like you said
Of they showed the SS doing the executions it would be less strange as they did do alot of horrible shit
I would love to play as a wehrmacht soldier invading Poland, occupying it a bit.
Only to start walking around and beat up SSers.
After the SSers cool down with their harshness on the Poles, then you get send to France for the Schlieffen Plan 2.0
All the while talking about demoralising stuff such as 'Can we really trust the Poles to the SS?' is a big taboe to talk about because there is a war to win.
Yeah I would love that Campaign, but it would be so messed up that the story will be absolutely the main topic for lots of discussions about games.
"Humanizing nazis"
"Dehumanizing the Allies and the Soviets"
"Justifying the Invasion of Poland"
"Western Propaganda"
"Alt-Right Propaganda"
Yeah I think no developer in these times will jump into a raging inferno like that.
@@MrDwarfpitcher I like to think Dehumanizing Soviets was covered very greatly with World at War, given how a lot of Reznov’s interactions towards the axis is and how his comrades go along with it while you either play along or watch it unfold
Hell Let Loose is an amazing WW2 game where you can use the Germans also. I highly recommend it.
Man I miss gritty realistic games.
This is the big problem with devs trying to make ww2 games, if you want to make a good ww2 game you gotta have balls, and thats what most devs not have because they want to appeal to everyone and be politically correct so that they don't get cancelled or some shit, if you're not gonna tell a good ww2 story then don't do it
Yeah, don't wanna piss off all the people who don't play video games.
We will not see a actual historically accurate cod for a while. Things have to be politically correct and not offend anyone. It’s bull. I would’ve been fine if they said this game was alternate history and not historically accurate, but they did the exact opposite. This game is full of political nonsense meant to push an agenda that doesn’t belong in a WW2 game. I’m mad because they claimed the game to be one thing, and did the complete opposite. It’s a disgrace to the veterans and soldiers who fought in the war. It’s a disgrace to history itself.
It literally is alternate history. Like you truly believe a collective of random military troops from multiple fronts were sent to Berlin to stop a plot to replace Hitler with a new dictator and rebuild nazi Germany elsewhere?
Like seriously?
Also it’s funny to hear folks cry about history being rewritten and inaccurate when a lot of what was gathered, especially from the Germans about the soviets was self-serving bull. The literal losers wrote history and we accepted it as fact calling any course correcting “rewriting history”.
LOL. comments like yours really makes me laugh so hard.
@@TonyGonzales2 It doesn't have to be accurate.. But the inaccuracy of cod vanguard is just emberrassing. The story doesn't make any sense...Annoying sjw bs... It is just an absolute failure of a game.
 the game does suck and the campaign doesn’t make sense, that I can understand but why is it SJW if it’s kinda being a euphemism for the war being the world against the axis powers?
 it’s not because there were colored people right? Or the Nazis were depicted like bad guys like the real counterparts? Is that the SJW stuff that irks you?
The biggest inaccuracies was the Stalingrad Campaign.
The Nazis with it's Luftwaffe (Luftflotte 4) first bombed the city on August 23, 1942 (And would keep on doing it daily onwards until their troops got to close) (and the bombers were around 4000 meters high give or take) .
The Wehrmacht would not enter the city until September 14, 1942 at 0630 local (a full 22 days later). And they struck the north and center of the city It's objective was securing a hill call Mamayev Kurgan, before moving inwards. The 51st Corp led that charge.
The 4th Panzer was to attack from the southeast of Stalingrad shortly after the 51st Corp.
The 14th Corp later struck from the North (Orlovka, Rynok and Spartanovka,) (Note they
They did not even reach the center of the city until September 21st, 1942 and would not declare it "Secured" until September 24, 1942.
(Had to make corrections involving the 14th Corp. I stated they struck Orlovka, Rynok and Spartanovka, on September 14, 1942. But they attacked those areas on August 23, 1942. They did not launch any offensive on Stalingrad proper until later. They mainly defended the Northern Flanks of the 51st Corp which was attacking the city proper)
I would love a cod game that focused on the axis forces especially if they did historically correct as well.
It would be cool if you played as a German soldier in some missions and a Jewish resistance fighter in others.
Wish they would but they wouldn't cause I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be able to sell in Germany then
@@deathmachineyt3254 I think you’re right unless they do what Wolfenstein did and get rid of the swastikas etc
Yeah I always thought it could be like you play as a German soldier for half of missions and a Japanese soldier or Italian for the other half. Like how WaW did with the Marines and Soviets
In battle fied 5 there is a mission where you are a German tank commander
The definition of WW1/WW2 alternate history now is just that war but more diverse. But I'm hoping I'm wrong and they go balls deep in this alt history
if leaks are read you'll be hunting down Hitlers successor after ww2
15:17 Well, in Call of Duty World at War, there was a mission called "Black Cats", were you have to destroy a fleet of ammunition carriers with 2 PBY's and afterwords you had to fight against a bunch of Zeros and rescue your team mates from a attacked fleet, so that kind of mission isn't really new ^^
Correction on what you said about the “showing a black paratrooper on D-Day” thing. One of the main characters of the game, Sgt Arthur Kingsley is based on a actual British paratrooper named Sydney Cornell, a Afro-British Para who served as a runner for B Company, 7th Para. For his excellence in combat during the Normandy Campaign, he was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal and promoted to Sergeant. He continued to fight with B Company until April 7th, 1945 when he and 24 other paratroopers were killed by a demolished bridge Neustadt while they were capturing said bridge.
And also the American soldiers in the pacific mission are actually troops from the 25th Infantry Regiment of the 93rd Infantry Division
Glad you’ve said that, was about to type it out myself but you’ve saved me a job. Check out “worth a buy” Mack does a good job of explaining that and how they swapped his actions for that of an officer
Which doesn't make sense, because the battle being portrayed is supposed to be Piva Forks (or the Battle of Numa-Numa Trail) which took place between the 18th and 25th of November, 1943. The 93rd Division didn't depart San Francisco until January 25th, 1944, arrived on Guadalcanal in February and March and wasn't deployed to Bougainville until April '44.
Well why not depict the correct version of history then . This game is so far from accurate....if you like playing an accurate representation of history this is not a game for you. ....If you dont give a shyt you might enjoy it.
@@paultzacos7470 then activision shouldn't advertise this game as an immersive WW2 experience. should've said alternate history.
Sydney Cornell was a private, born in Plymouth to a working class family, not an aristocratic twerp from Cameroon who leads a woke special forces unit. If they’re going to represent the real man they’ve done it extremely poorly. Do you think Sydney Cornell would’ve wanted to have been remembered as some woke posh pleb? Or made out to be by some video game? Most likely not.

I would love for just one Second World War game to include the Royal Hungarian Army my great-grandfather served in.
I thought very long about a WW2 Hungarian Campaign and how cool it would be. I mean, I can understand why game designers don't wan't to make many German campaigns or storys but what about Germanys Allies? As you said Hungary. I've heard many Hungarian soldiers weren't even “real“ Hungarians, they were from different minorities that lived in the territorys the Germans gave to the Hungarians before the war (correct me if I'm wrong) and because of that they weren't too motivated. But overall the Hungarians performed pretty well until Stalingrad. And I don't know about many big war crimes the Hungarians committed on their way so that wouldn't be a big morale problem for the designers. You could show the struggle with those minorities, the struggle with the Equipment which was often very little (same as all units in the southern part of the UdSSR) but still going on fighting. You could show Hungarian soldiers bromancing with the Poles at Warsaw or defending Budapest to the last and under the pressure of both German and Hungarian political troops.
Same with the Multiplayer. Why does it always have to be the Germans? Why can't you just make one map where the Axis are portrayed by another country or even simpler, by foreign volunteers (or conscripts) in the German ranks. That would be so cool to see but I think all of that will stay a dream
@@kingstar0084 If you’re wondering why the Hungarians aren’t included it’s because there’s simply a lack of people who are interested as Hungary is a small country in which only a small segment of the population would be interested, and for those unconnected to Hungary even proper historians will overlook Hungary so this does little to spread awareness amongst WW2 buffs that Hungary was even a part of the war. This lack of a market for media producers means that their unlikely to see any Magyar Királyi Honvédség media return a profit on their investment.

Not just that either! The bolt also seems to be backwards, the stock is on sideways, the magwell and magazine are at an angle, Kingsley’s fingers are in front of the ejection port, and said ejection port isn’t even ejecting shells!

As a reenactor the clothes are the easiest thing to get right on the character models. None of them are right, literally none.

They keep making these scenes with Germans killing civilians and how they're *horrible* but the protagonists kill thousands of Germans without a second thought.
I’d love an Axis focused game, there are so many untold stories that could make for amazing fresh experiences.
Agree. At the end of the war you had Germans, Americans, an American Tank and civilians fighting together in a castle against SS. These are the sort of stories they could use. But wont.
Actually, the thing with the pistol has actually happened. An American pilot did use his Colt 45. to shoot down a zero fighter, while though, he was parachuting out of his damaged aircraft, like, ever crazier, he took the pilot out, while in mid air.

2:35 WW2 gaming needs more Finland. The Winter War was a relatively short, but extremely dramatic part of the larger conflict that gets too little attention in media outside of Finland itself.

I'm sticking with Call Of Duty 2 (2005), and Call Of Duty World At War. They are compatible for the Xbox One. Also if you want a WW2 game based on Operation Market Garden I recommend Brothers In Arms: Hell's Highway. It's also compatible for the Xbox one.
There is another incorrect technique In the scene of black British Paratropper : his sten gun is cocking like a bolt action rifle. LoL
As a Brazilian i would like to see a game showing the history of the Smoking snakes. 25000 of brazilian soldiers were deployed to fought against the germans in italy.
1. British Paratrooper Sidney Cornwell: 7th Paratrooper Division
2. Russian Female Sniper: "Lady Death"
3. African-American Army Divisions: either the 93rd Infantry Division or the 24th Infantry Regiment aka 'Buffalo Soldiers'.
Not necessarily historically inaccurate, but there are some stereotypes such as the classic 'evil white male Nazi'.
NOT ALL GERMAN SOLDIERS WERE EVIL, PEOPLE!!! Some were just fighting for their country and survival. Some were even tired of fighting and wanted to surrender.
But then you have the actual sick, twisted, evil officers that were so brainwashed by the National Socialist Party that they were basically mindless robots.
If anything, the Soviets in the WWII era were just as bad as the SS and Gestapo. They killed everyone, took no prisoners, r**ed and burned and everything in between, and it was all in the name of revenge and 'Glory for the Motherland and Stalin'. The fighting on the Eastern Front got so bad, that the German Army often threatened to send their own soldiers there if they went out of line on the Western or Home Front. It was practically a death sentence. Heck, in 1945, when the war was coming to an end, some officers wanted to surrender to the Allies on the Western Front because they knew that they wouldn't be killed instantly and on sight by the Americans and British, unlike the Soviets, who (again) took no prisoners.
There were also some German soldiers and officers, who played a part in the beginning stages of the Holocaust, that felt shame, guilt, and regret after they executed Jewish citizens.
But nooo! Society today just has to shove it into our faces that, no matter if they were still human and have feelings and feel regret and guilt, all WWII German Soldiers are evil.
What the heck is this world coming too????
It's evident now in 2021 that whoever won WWII, the world lost.
@@stinkfinga4918 yep

@@majorblitz3846 exactly. But, like I said before. Some were either forced to do the biddings of Hitler and his cronies, or were brainwashed into thinking they were doing the right thing.
That's why some Nazi scientists and whatnot defected to the Western Allies, especially the US, to get away from that, start a new life, and make themselves feel better by doing something good and beneficial for all of mankind, like putting a man on the moon.

Rewriting history for games is totally wrong on so many levels.

I wish they went the COD 5 route…… with modern technology we could have had a stand alone campaign for more than one country. Like how battlefield has war stories but at a larger scale (battlefield stories are too short imo) imagine being able to play as a Japanese pilot bombing Pearl Harbor and then playing as an American pilot for coral sea or midway or both sides of the war in Stalingrad!
Why has the battle of Iwo Jima never been covered except for history channels wwii game…one of the most important battles of WWII and its completely neglected…at least from a major developer

In the western front campaign I think they actually potrayed Sergeant Sidney Cornell which was a black british parathropper. So it could be historically accurate in that moment instead of being unhistorically accurate.
I understand, but "Fury" and "1917" were also "inspired by real people/events" when it's not
@BLAZE I heard about the story ,the game character was model after the historical black British paratrooper but his deeds and achievements were not portrayed or replaced with another soldier's actions even the character's name is taken from a white British senior officer.

I could see so much potential in a game where you'd play as either a German soldier from the beginning of Barbarossa through the end of Stalingrad and possibly beyond or a Chinese/Japanese soldier fighting in the late 30s. There's no way any devs would be willing to touch either of these ideas with a 30 foot pole though.
Almost like there's a concerted effort to write Europeans out of their own history or something
That's hutzpah! Such nationalism oy vey, do you need another dose of migrants?
I don't play ww2 games anymore. I'm so tired of shooting at germans as if they were zombies, we are not in the early 2000's anymore games nowadays should be deeper. Also wokeness is a plague that ruins everything, movies, videogames, comedy, companies, academia, everyone outside the woke bubble is tired of it.
I would totally play a FPS from the axis perspective, I don't think it would be controversial at all but of course many journalists who don't care about history or videogames at all would try to outrage that tiny section of society unable to live their own lives, that just dedicate all their time to tell others on internet what is moral and what is not, and bully everyone that disagrees. So we won't have any FPS with an axis single player campaign for a very long time. At most, strategy games, because selecting units and telling them to go shoot at americans is ok, but shooting americans in first person is the worst crime ever.
You have great books from the german perspective such as "Forgotten Soldier" as a template where everything is included: the good, the bad. Horrors of war, war crimes, but also camaraderie and solidarity. Not just Nazi officers barking orders.
Or some real heroism like the last battles of the 12th and 9th Armies.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think the Germans employed Panzer 4 with the upgraded long-barrel 75mm during the African campaign until way later.
The 75mm was introduced in March 1942
African campaign was 1940-1943

Ik this is six months old, and may never be seen, but I would personally love a COD game where you start as a down on your luck German and the prologue mission is you as a civilian getting into the NSDAP and working up the ranks into the paramilitary of the party, then it ends with you pledging loyalty to Hitler as a member of the SS, before they take power officially. Then it cuts to you as a trooper in the Heer on the day of the invasion of Poland and the first two-three missions after the prologue focus on the invasion of Poland, then the first arch ends with you marching alongside the Soviets in the historic German-Soviet victory parade. Then it cuts to you as a young man in the Italian army on the eve of the Yugoslavian invasion and the next few missions focus on the Italian war in Yugoslavia and Greece. Then you can have a choice to finish the game as an Italian trooper who fights in the East, then dies on the last day of the Italian civil war or that German trooper who commands his own unit and survives until surrendering to the allies in the American occupation zone on the east bank of the Rhine. There could also be an option to play an alt history campaign as a Spaniard who fights though the civil war on the side of Franco, then joins the Blue Division and actually helps the axis take Leningrad and secure a German-Soviet armistice after your unit helps take Moscow once the Leningrad missions end. The final mission sees you marching into Moscow with your unit in a victory parade, but well on parade you find and shoot Stalin. After he’s confirmed dead the credits roll on the alternate history campaign.
