Why does a piece of fiction have to adhere to the facts? Battlefield isn't claiming to be 100% accurate representation of the past. What about The Order? It was set in a "historical" setting. Yet there were apparently werewolves and sci-fi weapons. Battlefield has as much of a Civic duty to historical accuracy as The Order. Both games are works of fiction. |
You didn't ask me but his answer was fairly close to what I would have answered that I'll answer this from my point of view.
For me, the answer is immersion and believability. The female prevalence in Battlefield V simply breaks the immersion for me. Battlefield has a tone serious enough for things like this to break the immersion. Female characters aren't the only issue (personally I'm also quite annoyed by all sides having the same guns and the prevalence of fully automatic weapons), but so far, female characters seem to be the most glaring one.
I haven't played The Order, but if it has werewolves and sci-fi weapons, I'm already willing to bet it has quite a different tone than Battlefield.
