New Battlefield 5 Story Trailer Rises To The Occasion

@Neo_Sarevok: or just dont buy either. Im on an EA blackout, wont buy or play their stuff even for free, though Im sure I could derive enjoyment from some of it. CoD lost me long ago when it got ultra twitch and small map.

@Pierce_Sparrow: Well what did you think of BF1, which was about World War 1 and which took effort to highlight some previously less covered areas of that war? Criticism aside it's admirable they're actually trying to show off the less popular/less known stuff about the wars. Whether they did it well enough is up to you. My only gripe is that in their attempt to create fictional stories, people get up in arms about them, although on the other hand these fictional stories can also inadvertently mislead uneducated people (especially since most of our kids are going to be learning through electronic means, videos and video games included).

To be honest, as the other guy said, both World Wars have a ton of stuff to cover, it'll never really get old so long as they cover the less known stuff. I mean, how often do big AAA games do stuff in WW2 Norway, as an example?

Also, one more thing: Nazi's. Easiest bad guys for video game purposes ever, thus making WW2 an easy topic. You try doing a more controversial topic, like 6 days in Fallujah, a cancelled game that was cancelled SIMPLY because it was trying to accurately portray a recent war, the games get criticized for being brave.

@gleencross: You just experienced tangential learning my friend, or at least I hope you will. Self-educate yourself on topics that you are exposed to in a format you enjoy (video games, for example). Just remember though that in BF5, those stories are fictional but are inspired by real life tales. So look up the stuff.

I don't know why you thought ski warfare wasn't real, but anyways now you know! BF5 just did you a favour! However I suppose people are upset BF5 has a real chance at educating the public. Remember, nowadays our kids are going to be learning through electronics - videos and games play a bigger role than they used to! But they decided to go for fictional stories that might confuse the uneducated.

@Bread_or_Decide: It's still funny. Don't listen to those purple-haired amputees.

@Bread_or_Decide: man, that feigned political irony every time this game is criticised is getting so boring.

@Bread_or_Decide: liberal agenda hahaha we need more skiing in games!!! get real you fool.
