I like gender segregation in video games. When I play RPGs, my party is always all men if I can control it. I'd love to see more games that only have all men so that myself and many others like me can have a better gaming experience. And of course, there should be more game with just women so that women who are like me (but a woman) can have a better gaming experience with them.


Nobody cares

I mean, multiplayer modes will usually throw canon or historical accuracy out the window for the sake of fun

There's nothing stopping you from having a lobby in Forza full of Pagani Zonda Cinques, even though literally only 5 of them exist and they're all in a showroom in Hong Kong

now if it was a single player campaign full of American women fighting in the frontlines then I could understand the complaints, unless they're doing some alternate history thing like in Wolfenstein

I don't mind French Resistance, Soviet, or later on Germans in Europe being women in combat.

And showing viewpoints that aren't done much is cool.

And I wish BF1 actually did this by showing how the US treated black regiments in WW1 and how the French were the ones using them instead of having the troops integrated in the multiplayer.

Having American soldiers as women would be stupid.

The "there are zombies in the game so everything else about the game can throughout into full fiction" is a ridiculous argument.

Why not have the Nazis look like Whoopi Goldberg, why not have the Emperor of Japan be a transformer who lives on the surface of the sun, and so on. There's no logic in that argument.


There is logic in that argument because I was talking about the Multiplayer specifically, which typically never had a basis in reality beyond certain characteristics.


There aren't zombies in the multiplayer as well.

It's a separate game mode.

And Saving Private Ryan doesn't have any real basis in reality aside from taking place in WW2, does that mean criticism can't occur over errors in what it does because it's fiction?

People implied it by constantly going on about all these little specific exceptions.

I can't see how that could possibly be construed as a dumb statement.


Because there's a pretty hefty difference between the renownly ahistorical multiplayer and the more historical single player, which is something that carries across to basically... I don't know.... nearly every game in existence?

if we're talking strictly about multiplayer, there's still the issue with the abundance of, well, anything that's not a bolt action rifle, or the arbitrary gun power


This post says it best. Multiplayer is not meant to be historically accurate beyond a few characteristics.

The multiplayer is still supposed to feel like WWII despite taking liberties for the sake of gameplay. Having an abundance of female soldiers would feel incredibly off.

But then the question is how many CoD players will pick female soldiers online, and I have no clue because I haven't played them.

All I know is Ghosts has them, so if you can find stats for that it should give you an idea, but my wild guess is that lobbies generally don't look like an Amazon brigade

Zombies is a multiplayer game mode.

Then they better only allow faction specific weapons, only a certain amount of snipers, and only a select few fully automatic weaponry.

I would prefer faction-specific weaponry but unfortunately there are too many people who would whine about not being able to use their MP40 all the time.

It also isn't necessary to be that realistic to feel like WWII. Freedom of weaponry feels like CoD, and since you're playing CoD, it doesn't take you out of the experience. You're experiencing WWII through a CoD multiplayer filter. Having an abundance of female combatants feels like neither.

1) who said there would be an abundance of female combatants? The last COD game I played, to be fair, was Ghost, but even then there weren't very many female soldiers running around.

2) female soldiers is part of the COD filter.

People choose female character models in a lot of shooters for the smaller silhouette. I haven't played CoD in a long time, but in most shooters there tends to be at least one-third of the lobby playing females when possible.

Regardless of whether female soldiers feel like CoD or not, it clashes too heavily with feeling like WWII.

The same could be said for the automatic weaponry as well.

You can't pick and choose. Female soldiers are just as much a part of COD now as the weapons.

Pretty sure nobody would care though. You can literally stick a sword straight down the spine of female soldiers in For Honor.

i think a historical recreation would be more interesting then the current schlock. non integrated units, white soliders refusing transfusions from blacks because they think it will give them diseases. Show how ugly things were rather then a whitewashed version.

Little did he know video games are meant to be fucking fun.

"Press X to deny blood because it came from a black guy!" Isn't riveting

Maybe they can add a pain adaptor that allows you to experience utter agony when you get shot and your leg is amputated

It's a video game. Its about people who can run forever without getting tried having pew pew pews with guys who talk in funny accents and therefore are evil.

The campaign is a multiplayer game mode as well considering there's co-op then.

I'm not trying to find an argument.
