Battlefield 1 Campaign Details Teased, Dev Says Diversity Is a Key Component

Nothing like taking a crap on history for the sake of shoehorning in women and minorities. I am a female myself and I hate the idea of a woman being in a WW1 game just for the sake of pandering. In fact, women and minorities should downright be insulted by this. Going out of your way to kiss our asses only makes us appear more weak and whiny. We don't need to be catered to. Only the truly weak and whiny expect that sort of treatment. DICE is obviously filled with a bunch of delusional Eurotrash who wished everything was some crazy leftist fantasy. This game is a total turnoff now.

Okay, yeah it'd be nice to see often ignored theatres and or battles of the Great War... But I would happily settle for one that just focuses on the stuff everyone knows about if there's a decent narrative, solid gameplay and it lasts a few hours!

I want to play as a white dude who wants to be a black women that is bipolar, and thinks she is a Asian transgender lesbian ninja sent back in time to kill John Conner.

Ugh, I hate this so much. This was one of the reasons I left this site, and am only posting this here, because this is just ridiculous. Why does everyone have to bring politics, racism, racial tensions, feminism, etc. into gaming and entertainment?! It's stupid. And all of you, whether you're anti-white, anti-black, or whatever, are just feeding into it.

"WAH, WAH, black people are disgusting! Whites are superior!"

"WAH, WAH, we need all white men to disappear and rewrite history, just so we can have a bunch of gays and feminists in our games!"

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being black, white, orange, blue, purple, or whatever the hell you want to call yourself. There's nothing wrong with gay people, or women holding prominent roles in entertainment. It's actually a good thing, as long as it fits well and is balanced. Why does everyone need to have such a big emphasis on minority groups in entertainment?! I play games, or watch movies/TV shows, etc., because I enjoy them. I love games. Watching TV is relaxing, funny, etc. Why do we need to bring politics into everything? I hate politics, I hate SJW's, and I hate that everything needs to be like this. For God's sake, race doesn't matter! Gender doesn't matter! Does anybody else agree with me? Am I the only sane person here?

There's a black guy in it, who cares? Man, you can spin it however you want but being upset that a black guy is a playable character makes you trash. And this is coming from someone who thinks the SJW movement is generally stupid.

"We want to show diversity in the game," he explained. "That's been a key goal."

You're key goal should be having a launch that isn't a complete train wreck this time...

Aaaaand now I remember why I don't come to this website anymore. Holy shit is this community disgusting.

Bunch of white boys whining about the "Anti-White Agenda," like are you kidding me? Game developers add women and people of color to their games and you take it as a personal attack? There is no such thing as an "anti-white agenda." No one is demonizing white people by having black people in a game. If anything the fact that you think that means you should probably reexamine your priorities.

And as always, the solution is simple. Don't like something about a game? Then don't buy it. Complaining about it in news articles will do absolutely nothing. Your wallet is your voice.

Can we play as the bad guys for once?

I can't wait for the CoD references in the campaign...if there are any

"Diversity" is just a buzzword thrown in to appease games media and progressive hangers on.

I don't think gamers are that hung up on if one of the protagonists is a Bedouin woman or Harlem Hellfighters, if its part of history then by all means.

Kinda makes it seem shallow when you want a parade because you put diversity in though.

I don't know about you guys, but I always love random social undertones in my online shooters.

Its comforting to know that there's history behind the premise of blowing someone to bits.

I'm hoping Bethesda gets around to exploring just how misunderstood cacodemons are in Doom.

Was there a strong demand for "diversity" in BF games?

When will you all realize that white people are inferior because old white men and college white girls say so?

Personally, i'll be buying the game day one (which i dont do) but i support the devs in this whole heartedly.

For those who dont like it, dont buy it, i certainly dont want to play with a bunch of whiny little cunts anyway.

You'd think that on a gaming site; any mention of 'diversity' wouldn't be followed by a racial shitstorm... in 2016 no less. Nope; it's the internet and all the little racist cowards hiding behind their anonymity are out in force... Typical.

While I do like the setting, as WWI is almost untouched in the genre; I still think EA is trying a bit too hard to be politically correct. Just make a good game anyway you see fit and I don't think people would care too much about the colour of the character's skin or their gender except for the obviously racist retards and misogynists.

You know, I'm all for diversity, but when a developer has to make a big deal out of it, it just comes across as them pandering for brownie points.

Pretty sure that Bedouin Arabs would be the last group on earth where you would find a strong female empowered soldier.... maybe if she had escaped from her slave harem, killed a few guards, and was on the run. I might believe that. But I don't think that's what we'll get from P.C. E.A.
