I wouldn't have even seen the post if you didn't quote it xd.
But yeah in the reveal trailer they show this ragtag group of people going into a house and one of them is a woman with a prosthetic hook arm/hand thing. The video was a whole wreck to be honest, none of it made sense and then this guy does superhuman feats like shoots down three planes and kills five guys with a pistol.
It was easily the worst Battlefield promo vid ever.
In the final game there are women in the multiplayer and minorities (for the Allied forces, not for the Axis forces). All the women have shaved heads though it's kinda sad :(
Story mode is about a woman as her daughter sabotaging a Nazi hard water operation. Devs claimed it is based on a real story. There is no such story. Made it up completely to justify a story built around women > Nazis.
I don't usually bother with historical games if they aren't at least somewhat historically accurate. Kills the immersion for me when Spartan women lead the army on the front lines killing everyone or pregnant topless women dual wielding assault rifles are gunning down Nazis.
The only purpose to games like this is to drastically rewrite history to promote ideology. If they want to make a story about a strong woman, they can do so I a modern or future setting, or In a pure fantasy. I'm not going to invest in a game being marketed as an authentic historical experience that is actively defying that setting.
That's one third of the story mode, and the story mode is ridiculously short. ---
