'Call of Duty: WWII' won't ignore the Holocaust anymore

Mashable: "This is a big change for World War II-set games."

[XXanderXX]

Tough & touchy subject , I would just acknowledge in mention it , no need to open wounds by going overboard .

[Grap]

Why not?

[Relientk77]

It's people like you which is why

1. Tracer's "sexy" pose was taken out of Overwatch
2. Cammy was censored in Street Fighter V
3. Roger Jr. was taken out of Tekken

Stop censoring our video games

If Sledgehammer Games wants to have the Holocaust in the game then they can have the damn Holocaust in the game.

[XXanderXX]

Those things are insignificant and are worthless, trivial garbage .
compared to something as gut wrenching as the atrocitie that was the Holocaust.

[Relientk77]

I was just giving examples of censorship. I can't help that there isn't another Holocaust example or something to that effect. In Modern Warfare 2 you could shoot civilians in an airport.

The game developers can make the game that they want to make. People need to stop censoring games. Video games are an artform. You should not censor art.

If you don't want a historically accurate WW2 shooter with the Holocaust, then don't play it.

Also you should probably ignore Wolfenstein The New Order then as well as that has similar themes (despite being fiction)

[TargusX]

Stop talking rubbish mate, these things happen for a good reason.

[slate91]

I agree with you relientk, but no need to label him. Im sure he could have been persuaded in other ways. But I do share your frustration.

[XXanderXX]

Don t mind historical accuracy just as long that they don't​ dwell and keep it simple. That's all

[Relientk77]

I agree with Slate91 for he is wise.

I apologise to Xander, if that seemed like a labeling or attack on him. That was not the intent. Slate91, Frustration is the perfect word.

[CarlosX360]

I perfectly understand Relientk77's frustration, it's the same frustration I have with gaming. Especially going far back to MGS2 with the whole WTC towers removal, so we got a shitty ending in MGS2.

I'm all for Sledgehammer Games to visit the Holocaust situation. We really need a scene that touches upon it. But if we complain about it, it'll be removed. That's the frustration that Relient has. So, everyone just chill.

[81BX]

I disagree... and how fitting for today's climate.

[kneon]

If you want games to be considered an art form then you have to be willing to deal with uncomfortable subjects. Not that I would put forth COD as an example of gaming as art.

[Relientk77]

Cool let's play some Nazi Germany missions

Sounds exciting. It's part of history, people need to just deal with it already

[XbladeTeddy]

Just don't confine the British to having a campaign all about the SAS. We Brits had soldiers too and did actually fight in WW2, Yes, America didn't single handedly take on the world.

[TargusX]

Roger that bro.

[dRanzer]

Im not saying the British soldiers didnt fight and not contributed to the war effort.
But when USA join the war(againt their will) this is actually singed the death decree of the Axis Powers
Overall any human who fought in the war deserves respect

[XbladeTeddy]

I will be first to admit that without our American brothers help we wold have lost. Got a lot of love for Americans.

[81BX]

@ xblade... sure buddy. You keep telling ur self that. Now Pardon me as I crush my beer and speed off in my pick me up truck! MERICA!
Edit: just in case, this is clearly a joke

[RedKnightOH]

COD WWII could have potential for large war Clans again. It must have: User Controlled Private Servers, good Clan Support, a social area for Clan members and friends to meet(Headquarters), able to host Private Clan Wars on invitation and a number of other Clan Supported options like hosting Private and Open Clan Wars, Private and Open Competitions & Tournaments.  We'll see.....

This game must support Large online War Clans!  This "Headquarters" social room shows potential for Clans. 24 vs 24 can work.  32 vs 32 would be better.

Could lead to some very emotional scenes.. r.i.p all those souls butchered , murdered , experimented on.

[The 10th Rider]

Did anyone actually read the article?

(about a Jewish squad member) "Right out of the gate we tackle the fact head-on that not everyone in the squad is comfortable with the fact that he's Jewish. And that was just a reality of the time. This is something this character has had to deal with his entire life,"

And: "That squad-level intolerance comes up again at a later point in the story, after you link up with a group of black American soldiers. As is the case with Zussman, the game doesn't gloss over the fact that some of your fellow soldiers aren't OK with this."

Then the creative director said "We absolutely show atrocities," Robbins said. "It's an unfortunate part of the history, but ... you can't tell an authentic, truthful story without going there. So we went there."

So they say nothing about the Holocaust being a thing in the story, rather they show a bit of antisemitism and racism and that's supposed to show "atrocities" of the time.

theve've talked about how there will be a section in a concentration camp, dont know if it s fully playable or a cinematic but ther will be a conentration camp you go through

[ILikeGamesYeah]

Oooo yay! I love coming home after a long day at work to relax and relive the mass genocide of over 6 million Jews.
