You know what happened to Calvary in WW1? Machine guns,Arty,Mines,Barbwire,Trenches is what happened along with bolt action rifles. Horses didn't stand a chance anymore. Even in the middle east or ottoman campaign horses were rarely used. Hell even when people were bashing each other with swords and spear armies rarely used Calvary because they were valuable and vulnerable
>>340472884
The only good cavalry were Mongolian horse archers.
>>340473117
Yeah and they had to be used on stationary groups of infantry, effective in the open, not so much in siege but it probably didn't matter if you could supply the sieges army well

I honestly don't mind having minority characters represented in WW1/2 video games, personally I'd love to see more representation of Japan's actions in Asia. I'd love that.
What bothers me is the studio having the only important characters being shown being the minorities in WWs. It reeks of minority-washing because everyone knows that although the entire world wasinvolved in the war Europeans were the primary contributors to death tolls.
I don't hate minorities guys, I just don't like having them shoved into anything remotely white.

This is why nobody makes video games about WW1
WWII is perfect, its got a great amount of propaganda backing it up with established "enemy" and everything seems so regulated and ordered
WW1 was like giving a bunch of monkeys the most horrific tools of war and sending them out to the slaughter, nothing pretty ever happened and it certainly wasn't very heroic
No volley fire brigades engaging in honorable combat, no rules against using chemical weapons to melt your skin off
Same reason we will never see Japans role in Asia at the start of WWII with the Rape of Nanking

horses weren't effective, but they were still used, and a lot of military planners thought they might still have a role in a contemporary army. in fact, america brought in cavalry to the western front despite 4 years of experience beforehand showing that horses were going to be useless.
i guess it's easy to see why people had such a hard time letting go of horses, since cavalry had been integral to any army for milennia.

Cavalry was used immensely outside of the western front. The Ottomans used them all the way up until 1918, and the reason they utilized them less in Europe was because their own regiments performed like ass against their Russian counterparts, they still made heavy use of them in the ME.

i shouldn't even bother telling you how stupid your analogy is, but i'll go ahead and do it anyways. with the hellfighter pack, you're paying for the game before it comes out, for cosmetics that no one is forcing you to use. it's simply a choice in whether or not you want your weapons to look different. no one is making you watch them shit on your car and forcing you to let it stay.

This is so fucking untrue my head hurts. Like both Britain and France called troops from their colonies to fight on the Western Front- to the point where they were making up over 50% of the fighting force.
Some of the biggest losses were in the Africa campaign and nearly all of those losses were nonwhite.

Im 100% certain that there were no female bedouin warriors in the 20th century. They were predominately Sunnis...which forbid women from taking up the sword. Id almost be willing to say that its more likely that a European woman slipped through into the ranks (other than the obvious russian all-fem regiments that were recruited at the end of the war to raise moral which did indeed see combat)

History isnt subjective, its interpreted through the accrual of empirical data you fucking mongoloid. I guess you can interpret something one way, but if its less founded chances are its the wrong way to interpret it

History Autist inbound:
The black soldier, upon inspection, does not appear to be a soldier of the Harlem Hellfighters.
His uniform, and insignia, are entirely British. The insignia, specifically, appears to most closely resemble that of a Guards Regiment.
I've compiled an image for reference. The only U.S. equipment he ever has, are weapons, and only sometimes.
He's held:
A U.S. M1917 Knife, German C96, German MP-18, U.S. Trench Gun, and a U.S. 1911.
All while having a British uniform, from heads to toe. All gear is British, his actual jacket is British, his "cape" is a standard issue British Groundsheet, which was a multi-function piece of kit that could be used as a rain "cape".
Beyond being black, nothing about him says Harlem Hellfighters
(To show further that what weapons they're carrying means nothing, the German in >>340475752
is holding an American M1903A3 along with his German Luger.
>>340482197

It does suck, honestly.
But it was always curious that if this guy was supposed to be part of the Harlem Hellfighters, why would there need to be DLC for their weapons? He should already have them in the game, since the DLC is weapons only, no characters, missions, or campaigns.
I'm very curious why they made him part of a Guards Regiment. I lack the resources/books to research whether a black soldier was ever in the Guards.

Having a black character in a game about a war that involved black people is "shoving propaganda down your throat"?
Did you feel the same way about war games that paint Russians as all evil, or games that paint Arabs as nuke-crazed monsters
Or does it have nothing to do with "propaganda" and you are just really, really, really butthurt whenever niggers are show in any form of media ever, at all, in any way

>>340484562
As a matter of fact, there were so many fucking non-whites on the Western Front that the Germans started using it as propaganda against the British and French as consequences of arming uncivilized people:
>
Another recurrent theme in German propaganda against the deployment of colonial troops on European battlefields was its alleged impact on the future of the colonial system and the supremacy of the ‘white race’. If African and Asian soldiers were trained in the handling of modern arms, if they were brought to Europe and saw the white nations fighting against each other, and if they were even allowed to participate in these battles and experience the vulnerability of the white man, then they would lose their respect once and for all. After the war, they would turn their weapons against their own masters and remove colonial rule. Thus German propaganda argued that the French and British policy of deploying colonial troops in Europe was a flagrant breach of white solidarity and should be condemned by every civilized nation.
>>340484303
>war that involved black people
The war a much higher percent of whites, at least in the European conflict, which appears to be most of what we've seen from the game. Shoehorning a black into ridiculous scenarios that no soldier on any side of the war could accomplish does nothing but mock actual people who fought in WWI, and comes off as a cheap way to profit off the incredible suffering experienced by those soldiers
>>340484303
Having a black character in a game about war that was literally vast majority white is pretty much propaganda.
I would be willing to overlook if they just had the black character and maybe a brit you can play as, but they added a Female horseback muslim girl with a fucking sword.
Are you actually getting paid to look the other way or are you really so fucking brain washed that the idea of white people being in anything offends and triggers your very existence?

>>340484858
You do realize that 100% accurate depiction of any war would be boring right? Your not fighting every single day in a way you know, you may not even fight for more than a few hours.

Algerians, Moroccans, French West Africa, South Africans, and even African Americans all saw action on the Western Front in defense of the empires that ruled over them or as expeditionary forces

I don't understand how you're not getting this simple concept: giving you a completely optional(!) cosmetic skin set has nothing to do with pushing a political agenda, or apparently equating to you being a bigot. you're not being held at gunpoint being forced to use them, and no one is going to think you're a racist for not using them. it's optional. an option. a choice in how your gun looks that has no repercussions in anything. you don't even get the skins if you don't preorder, which i doubt you're going to, so why complain about it? the hellfighters existed in WW1 and they made cosmetic items that are references to them for a game that is set in WW1, which i'd say is a lot better than putting some random flashy camo that stands out like crazy. it sounds to me like you're just looking for an excuse to shitpost, since you haven't bothered showing any proof about the hellfighters being playable in the multiplayer.
>>340471276
Man, look at all that white privilege.
>Swedish video games
>>340485543
You retards read that shit and think that 50% of the forces were algerian, are you people on /his/ actually retarded
>>340485543
Hundreds of millions of Algerians,Moroccans,French Africa,South Africa and even African americans didn't die on the western front though.
>>340485743
So does that mean they were better?
>>340485595
Are you actually ignoring the pictures or just ranting?

From a technological standpoint, war is nearly a necessity. But the human mind is not fit for that level of stress and hardship - it's more of a humanitarian issue.
>>340485743
>Hundreds of millions
The total absolute deathcount of WW1 was 40 million, dipshit
>>340485807
No retard, that means that nobody cares about what they did
>>340485807
It means that there was less of them fighting.
>>340485832
what pictures? only pictures i have seen related to the game are of the characters that are in the singleplayer and the one i posted about the cosmetic pack.

>History is subjective.
stopped reading right there
>>340486183
No there isnt, only retards on /his/ that read something like the black fighters of ww1 and think millions of blacks fought in france, literally nobody cares about small countries on big wars how about we make a game about brazilians fighting in ww1 even tho they just sent some medic ships
>>340485743
They had way higher casualty rates
Even if France did assimilate them into their armies they had no qualms (along with the British) about sending them to die first. They practiced this liberally during the war.
Their colonial troops were cannon fodder and their casualty rates reflected that.
>>340471276
That made me feel really sad and uncomfortable. They deserved better.
>>340484691
>>340485156
>>340485173
>BUT BUT MUHJORITEE
doesn't matter, black people still fought in the war, so it's historically accurate to depict them
>>340486316
>Unlike Britain, the French deployed large numbers of African troops in Europe, including 172,800 soldiers from Algeria, 134,300 from West Africa, 60,000 from Tunisia, 37,300 from Morocco, 34,400 from Madagascar and 2100 from the Somali Coast. Another colonial contingent of about 44,000 men came from Indochina.16 Italy, who joined the Entente side in spring 1915, tried to deploy African colonial troops in Europe as well. In August 1915, some 2,700 soldiers from Libya were shipped to Sicily. However, they did not enter the front line, because many soldiers died from pneumonia immediately after their arrival, and so, the Libyans, who were designated for Alpine warfare, were shipped home again after a short time. In the African theatres of war, however, Italy deployed plenty of Eritrean, Libyan and Somali soldiers.17
>>340482389
>Tfw most of the members were lynched when they got home because they might have asked for equal rights.
That's just sad yo.
>>340486389
Eskimos fought in the war too, so they should be the main characters.
>Swedish company.
Christ that country is getting fucking awful now.
>>340486465
Blimey 200k people on a war with more than 40 million casualties, those forces surewere the main fighting forces sorry /his/ you were right
>>340486316
Nobody said millions of blacks fought in the war, where are you getting this info?
>>340480863
This isn't as bad as the thread where someone tried to argue that a guy getting wounded defending from a german attack in WWI wasn't combat because he was a black guard.
>>340486465
And this ignores that the French/British waged an ENTIRE campaign against von Lettow-Vorbeck in Africa
>people still give this much of a shit about a coverboy who is most likely not going to be in the game
>people still think blacks didn't fight in the war
>people this upset over a fucking cover to a video game
I'm starting to think we would be able to discuss video games again if /pol/ was deleted
>>340486535
If the developers wanted Eskimos on the cover then guess what they get Eskimos on the fucking cover
Hell I mean /pol/ would be a lot less of a bitch if it WAS Eskimos
>>340486389
They're not just depicting a black, he's on the front fucking cover. In a game about the western front. Where the vast majority of them shouldn't be. This is an unrealistic scenario created to cater to people who will eat this minority representation shit up and you know it.
I just think its really weird that people are outraged by a black in the game (which happened) but not the Bedouin warrior woman (which probably didn't happen). The latter is much more egregious desu
>>340475464
>THE GAMES NOT 100% FUCKING ACCURATE
>literally everyones carrying mp18`s or whatever and every second soldier has an officers mauser
god pol is hilariously dumb
>>340485156
>Shoehorning a black into ridiculous scenarios that no soldier on any side of the war could accomplish does nothing but mock actual people who fought in WWI
lmao no it doesn't you fucking faggot. you're just a sheltered pussy for getting offended by a video game, don't project your feelings on people in the past
>>340486679
>As a matter of fact, there were so many fucking non-whites on the Western Front that the Germans started using it as propaganda against the British and French as consequences of arming uncivilized people:
That sure sound like a lot
Get real literally nobody cares about colonial troops or americans
>>340471276
>using an age of white dominated media to prove the lack of minorities.
So I guess black people weren't invented until the early 60s
>>340486831
>everyone who doesn't like this garbage is pol
The difference is that they aren't given mausers or mp18s to push a political agenda.
>>340486712
>hating black people means your from /pol/
You would had killed your self if you came to 4chan in 2007 or earlier.
>>340486660
Your numbers are such horse shit. The German army took the biggest hit and still suffered by like 2 million people in total war deaths (combat and non combat).
>>340479690
>you don't understand these niggers in multiplayer aRE LITERALLY RUINING THE GAME AHHHHH
you remind me of the people who got freaked out over a billboard
>>340486838
But where does it say millions of black soldiers fought in the war?
>>340471276
Do women honestly think they have suffered as much as men?
>>340486389
Funny how you mention historical accuracy when literally everything we've seen from the game is ridiculously exaggerated for the sole purpose of appealing to the mindless children who buy EA's games.
Anyways, I don't know why EA picked niggers instead of hardass British dwarves, they're really much more interesting. Maybe they were looking for a better token minority

That still doesn't mean millions, alot could mean 50k blacks.
>>340486834
>lmao who cares about those guys who died by the millions for us a few generations ago, only pussies care about those old faggots

Even though Lawrence of Arabia and the Red Baron are getting their own DLC you still think this game is anti white because it has a historical figure that's black?

>>340485156
"shoehorning the idea that everyone in the army was having loads of fun and this is something we will want to casually play"

>its okay to discuss politics on the video games board
Please please go back to /powl/ and never come back
>>340487073
WW1 wasn't only fought in Europe dude. Europeans got uppity real quick after what the Germans did in Belgium because straight up killing white civilians wasn't cool.
>>340487229
It is for how many blacks were in the war anon.
>>340487102
One is a literal fantastic alternate history scenario as an excuse to make a fun game. The other has gone on record by one of the devs as 'teaching parts of WW1 history that people are ignorant'. I don't what the Swedish curriculum is like, but I certainly don't remember studying about female Bedouin warriors and random black people truncheoning German machine gun nests
>>340487304
>Sidekicks
Just the big black bull as the main character huh
>>340486929
>making extremely rare weapons of extremely high quality appear common place in ww1

>Does it anyway.
Please turn off the internet and return back to your college SJW recruitment center for trigger counseling..... and never come back.
>>340487102
The audacity the EA ceo said kids don't know about ww1.
This is literally revisionist, unlike Wolfenstein which states it is fiction.
But go ahead, try harder.
>>340477378
looks heaps cool
>>340487336
how about
>Shoe horning characters literally nobody cares about
Christ why are americans so obssesed with this
I'd much rather have a serb or some indian than those guys
>>340487402
So what they were hardly in and literally nobody cares about it but /his/
>>340487391
Yea sure tell me about the great battles of algeria that literally nobody cares
>>340487431
What are you even talking about? How are they sidekicks?
>Muh cuck meme
Anon pls
>>340487593
Are they the main characters of the game?
>>340487559
The people they fought for did, and anyone who wants historical accuracy does aswell.
>>340487559
>how about
>Shoe horning characters literally nobody cares about
are you kidding, theres like 30 other ethincities in the game and the ONLY one people are talking about, is this one! nobody cares is a weird way to describe "i cant fucking stop talking about people who really existed in ww1 because them actually being there isnt historically accurate!"
>>340487542
I'm not discussing, I'm just telling /pol/ to fuck off
>....
pssh.... nothing.... personell kid
>>340487559
Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck was probably Germany's most respected officer of the war next to von Hindenburg and Ludendorff. Guess which front he spent most of his time fighting?
>>340487650
No the other 3 white people are.
>>340487761
I care about putting him in the fucking cover, its retarded and only panders to retarded americans
>>340487757
They played such a small role that i hardly belive anybody cared about them
>>340487559
take a look at the movie of "The Battle of Algiers". it sums it up nicely, and its voted usually around 80 to 150th of the best movies ever made.
>>340487514
>not a political agenda, that germans were the best
Stop being an idiot, no one aside from pol would do something like that, least of all a fucking swedish company.
>>340487550
The quote was
>"We were worried that many of the younger consumers out there didn't know that there was a World War 2 or Vietnam, so World War 1..."
Which is not some outlandish statement. You might as well get upset when a 13 year asks what the World Trade Center was you autist
>>340487781
>I'm not discussing.
You spent the entire thread discussing politics.
>>340487859
>The other 3 white people
People they haven't shown?
>>340487940
It doesn't matter if the role is small anon. It's still history so if you want 100% accuracy they need to be put in the game.
>>340487940
NIGGERS? ON THE COVER OF MY BATTLEFIELD GAMES
ITS MORE LIKELY THEN YOU THINK!!!!!
you fucking morons lol
>>340488191
They've shown one if them. His picture is in the thread
>>340488196
If you want to play shit that nobody cares about because of that just read a book, i dont care about americans not about their black infantry, im not buying this shitfest of a game anyway
>>340488265
>war that americans played a big hole
>war where blacks were drafted alot
vs
>war where americans almost didnt fight
>lets put a guy from the smallest american unit on the cover
>>340488265
Vietnam actually had black soldiers play major roles.
>>340488196
holy shit, that pol faggot really used the historically accurate thing first and now hes gonna have to waggle around this.
>its literally offensive to ww1 soldiers if its not historically accurate
>oh but nobody cared about those battles
fuck me, this dunce of a pol poster
>>340488425
More black soldiers fought in WW1 than Vietnam six times over.
>>340488501
im not him dumbass
>>340475728
WWII has an enemy and everything is regulated and ordered if you have a bad understanding of history
>>340488196
Have you been fucking paying attention to the actual discussion in the thread
Nobody denies that blacks were in the war, people think it's retarded how EA slaps a US nigger on the cover and use him as the main character so they can feature a hip token minority when the vast majority of soldiers in the European section of the war were white
>>340488379
Well the black guys fought with the French anon
