And I was really looking forward to it, excited that COD would return back to the WW2. Especially when they showed the Soviet campaign in their E3 phootage. Soviets are back, hell yeah !!! After watching some MP gameplay though I extremely disappointed with it.
Things that annoyed me as hell ?:
1. Inclusion of hip hop/ pop song/ rap in their e3 trailer. If some of that music actually makes it to the final product of a supposedly historical setting such as WW2, I swear God I will burn Activision headquarters to the ground. Hip-hop and pop music has no place in games that pretend to be historically accurate in some degree. It's a matter of principles to me - stop shoveling the bruh culture everywhere.
2. Call of Duty is not going Batllefield as we were hoping. Vehicle gameplay in MP is scripted and driven by AI, only allowing you to be a turret. Why even include them then. Gosh vehicle sections look so awful.
3. Graphically, after BF1, it make my eyes sore to look at it. Small maps, very simple smoke and other whether effects, scripted destruction. I mean seriously, somehow it looks worse than Advanced Warfare. After gorgeous AW, ALL consequent CODs were getting worse-looking somehow, and the COD Ww2 is no exception. No graphic improvement what so ever, at least in MP. The difference with BF1 is striking.
4. It's unbelievable how poor the gunplay looks at this point, compared to the same BF1 again. Guns have no recoil what so ever. They literally took Modern Warfare guns and smashed WW2 skins on top of them. Unbelievably awful job. Historical weapons such as Russian ppsh, Tommy gun and german mp40 have no fucking recoil. I mean are they for real. What killed me even more are silencers on the same guns. I am not a historical expert, but were there actual silencer for automatic guns back then? I haven't seen any war movie that would feature those.
5. Female soldiers. It's a fact that there were female soldiers in red army. They were mostly snipers, pilots and field medics. But they were not assault or storm troopers that's for sure. Many women soldiers were for propagandistic purposes as well. But even Soviets would never throw women into meatgrinding battles. Men were disposable, women were not. But in MP, women have 50/50 presence and fulfilling roles that they have never fulfilled in real life. I mean, running and gunning as assault troopers. I hope women soldier are only in the Soviet band, because if I see them when playing allies that would be a huge hit against any remaining sense of historical accuracy and respect. I have nothing against SJW and feminists, but shall not rewrite our history in order to please them.
Now I don't even know I want to buy this game even for it's SP campaign. With this awful gunplay and shitting on history, I am not sure it's the game WW2 fans were waiting for.
Sorry for spelling. Was writing on my phone with auto-corrector.
