Although I'm sold on it being a WWII game (missed having a good one in years), I have to ask; why did they feel the need to put a female on the front cover, using the same stereotypical "looking away" type pose?.
I am very much aware that there were female soldiers in WWII. Two Russian snipers such as Lyudmila Pavlichenko aka "Lady Death", Roza Shanina aka "The invisible horror" were among the few famous soldiers who fought during WWII. I don't see why EA couldn't have put those two into the game itself, let alone the trailers. Sure it might be a blight on their memory and the deeds they had done, but they were famous for what they were good at, and that was killing their enemies, which is basically what we've always been doing in military shooters.
I dunno, I'm just tired of this whole "we're trying to be half historically accurate, half fantasy" routine that we've been seeing the past 15 years. If they want to be historically , then be historically accurate. WWII had more male soldiers than female, but it also had legendary female soldiers that don't really get the time of day in any of these games that try to put spotlight on past wars.
I want to play as Lyudmila Pavlichenko in one of the mini story campaigns, not as some random nobody that has little meaning to the overall plot.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
