Yay. The hordes of feminists and other SJWs who will not be buying the game shall rejoice. Plus the two women who will buy the game.

Why, doesn't women deservingly need to be represented for what they've done in WW2?

Where there women in boots on the ground?

give it ten years, and kids will start being taught that as many women died on the front lines of WWI + II as men did

No Eastern Front makes me sad.

Not as many but its right to tell them that women fought on the battlefield as well.

One of the most courageous acts of WWI was not recognized until 2015, because the guy was black. 

Indians, Chinese, Africans bled as much as anyone during WWI and never were mentioned in the heroic books or monuments.

Women in World War 2:

Russia : "There were 800,000 women who served in the Soviet Armed Forces during the war,[1] which is roughly 3 percent of total military personnel." - Wiki

USA : "During World War II, approximately 400,000 U.S. women served with the armed forces and more than 460 lost their lives as a result of the war, including 16 from enemy fire." - Wiki

 

16 american women got shot in the war! holy cows!

Amercia lost like 410,000 soldiers in WW2 aparently (wiki), and out of those 16 where women that got shot.

I don't technically mind taking into account the female soldiers that fought in the war, but as far as I know, they were only a very small minority, and this is going to skew the proportions a lot. There's places for equality, and then there's places where it has no place at all. History, for the most part, isn't equal.

Ya know, if they really wanted to have a diverse cast they'd let you play as a German soldier during the campaign too. Would probably make it the most diverse WWII shooter ever, would also be nice to see it from the other side for a change...

Battlefield 1942 lets you play as the Axis forces, including Germany.

Battlefield 1942 doesn't have a proper single-player mode. Its so-called single-player mode is basically multiplayer with human players replaced by AI.

Would be nice to have a stage on the Balkan campaign.

Female characters make sense here if theyre resistance fighters or Russian. BF1s forced diversity on the other hand...

Truth. Not nearly as pathetic as Playtonic's virtue signaling, at least.

Now that's an exaggeration.

No, having a female French Resistance character (which isn't historically incorrect) in a video game or letting gamers play as women in the multiplayer mode won't lead to schools teaching kids that half of the front line casualties were women.

 

And I don't understand the problem with having female characters anyway. I'm playing Mount & Blade: Napoleonic Wars a lot and despite a big chunk of the small but dedicated userbase being historical nuts nobody seems to give a damn that the game lets you fight in la Grande Armée as a girl.
