I think it is innacurate. There were no female battalions on WW2. I do think there were female doctors, nurses and intelligence oficials. But no infantry. Please someone correct me if wrong.

Soviet women in WWII

That depends on if they're blonde or not.

Honestly, don't really care what they do in multiplayer. Hopefully their inclusion feels natural in the campaign though, like a French resistance fighter, rather than a token character.

I honestly wouldn't lose sleep in that case either...just a preference.

But anyways, I'm pretty sure that the multiplayer will have regenerative health and and respawning, so right out of the bat it's going to be unrealistic and inaccurate.

Don't remind me of golden week keeping me away from shokugeki.

I think it's not too bad for the multiplayer.

For the campaign it could come off as a cheap and distasteful gesture though.

There are females in this game? I don't know if I can handle that.

It's unrealistic to the point of feeling like changing history, so I don't like it. I understand the decision but I just don't like it personally.

Dude it's CoD multiplayer. It's not exactly a documentary

I'm not a Call of Duty player but I don't mind. I like playing as female characters (I play Daisy in Mario Kart) and choice is good. So I think it's cool.

(It would be different if they shoehorned a female US soldier as a lead in there just to prove a point. That would be a political statement and I don't want these in games. And just to be clear, I don't want political statements from MRA's in games, either.)

I disagree with the decision not because it's unrealistic, but rather because it feels like they're bordering on revisionism. Obviously if there's a Nazi zombie side-game, everybody knows that it is fantasy just for fun. Alluding, however, that the way the war was fought was different to how it really was is a dangerous thing. Once you begin to tread the path of slight alterations to the portrayal of events in works of entertainment, those 'slight alterations' can become greater and greater in the name of concepts such as 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness'. A perversion to history can lead to a perversion in the thoughts of the impressionable masses, and such is never a good thing as has been seen time and time again.

It's revisionism to suggest that there were no female troops at all in WWII.

I understand where you're coming from. But I think they included the characters in a way that makes sense and is historically correct (like, there are no female US soldiers but there are female resistance fighters). Correct me if I'm wrong - not a huge CoD fan here - but I don't think it's to prove a point.

I never stated that there were none, however, women did not serve on the front-lines in combat roles for the military of the United States. The game implies otherwise, and as such borders on revisionism.
