I assumed it was just that way in Germany because of laws that ban it. Why the hell would they cover up that kind of thing? Nobody complains about shooting Nazis. That's what made Wolfenstein so great.

That's pretty weird. They trying to humanize them or just remove the swastika to not risk offense?

We need to clean and sterilize history now for the sake of feelings.

IIRC a year or two ago they removed the Confederate Battle Flag from a few Civil War games because feelings.

I'm assuming it's because in online one team will be allies and the other will be axis or something, and nobody wants to play as a Nazi

In the final level of World at War you fight inside the main Nazi Congress building or whatever. Their HQ and there is a God damned giant Nazi flag in the room

Actually, I was thinking of that just after I posted, and hadn't gotten a chance to edit yet

Yeah, I think it was after Dylan Roof shot up that church. People started really going crazy about the flag and basically anything else related to the CSA after that.

Wasn;t this a myth?

I heard they just had to remove the flag from the cover and advertising from the game. Not from the game itself

From my understanding Swastikas are allowed in Germany but only depicted as art or in an educational sense. Games for whatever reason are not considered as art over there in Germany so the Swastikas have to be removed.

That I'm not sure of, I didn't follow the story for long. Even just taking it off the cover and advertising still seems dumb.

History is history.

There is TONS of places that will censor content with a Swastika. Consider this:

If someone posts a video of their gameplay in CoD WW2 on their youtube page and that video shows a swastika, the video is automatically eligible for removal. Now consider this would be the case with EVERY CoD video posted on YouTube (And other platforms, mind you). YouTube will take down a history video on Wehrmacht weapon design if it has the Nazi flag anywhere on it, without hesitation. They'll KoS a CoD gamr.
