I don't vape or smoke but that's all I want in this world lol. PS it felt like battlefield 5 wasn't its peak state right after the Pacific launch and then they hit that massive weapon rebalance that just killed it for me entirely
I remember saying when BFV got revealed that people want an authentic WWII experience, not necessarily a 100% realistic one. The marketing that DICE was pushing pretty much flew in the face of authenticity
@AdministrativeResults What're the odds!? For weeks, I've been obsessed with early concept art for BFV, made by old concept artists/art design guys who left (or got fired from) the studio around that time (including a LOT of other old DICE vets), and it looked like BF1 set in WW2; superbly badass *accurate* splinter camo smocks for German recon class, accurate SS uniforms just no bolts or windmill symbol, badass BoB esque paratrooper skins including an Indian Apache makeup/mohawk player paratrooper, you got art for Army Rangers scaling the cliffs at Point Du Hoc with grappling hooks, German Falschirmjäger lush red forests somewhere in Eastern Europe, pilot and tanker class concepts looked SICK, it's such a shame. Could've literally been one of the greatest FPS' of all time and possibly the best WW2/historical shooter ever.
@@AdministrativeResultsSeems like a lot of media will jump on bandwagons of other popular media. After Iron Man and the success of Marvel, the snarky superhero was everywhere. John Wick, you have super tacticool long fights (still awesome). I think Battlefield 5 was trying to put a little Fortnite, hot in the news, in the game. Quirky shit, purple hair, cybernetic arm, etc.
@@AdministrativeResults You'll get katana wielding overweight black Scottish trans face tattooed soldiers with MP40s that have ACOGs, and be happy with it. Or take the advice of DICE's creative lead and just not buy the game so they can *surprise Pikachu face* when the sales suck.
18:05 The Norwegian heavy water sabotage (background for "nordlys") was done by Norwegian comandos trained in the UK. The British soldiers they sent first, all got killed or captured out right. The Norwegians did the sabotage without casualties.
@BananaRaid not only that, one of them had to do a mission impossible skiing firefight to get away... or at least I've always heard that, I haven't actually confirmed it, lol
Every studio does this these days. Set a ridiculously short timeline, release an unfinished game, then hope the fans stick around long enough to fix it. Battlefield has been guilty of it for a long time and, lucky for DICE, they usually do a good job of fixing things relatively quickly.
V was my final straw pre ordered and walked away from the franchise after playing every release since bad company. I play Enlisted now, much better. Only hardcore… BFV without hardcore was lame.
I personally would loved to have seen a battlefield game set in the Korean War. There’s a lot of cool weapons and vehicles that barely missed WW2 but saw use in the early Cold War era.
I want to see the Korean War too, but it has to be done well. Btw, a channel here on RUclips, World War Two, is going to be starting a channel about the history of the Korean War! Should be good
i honestly thought they were going to do Korea when this was announced and was super stoked. Especially since Bad company 2 Vietnam and the OG Vietnam games went so hard, and the idea of blasting that happy 1950s music on a tank just felt like so much fun. A few others theorized it would be too from some BF1 easter eggs hinting the release. Imagine my disappointment when the trailer for V got released. I pretty much just booted up an empty server in BC2 Vietnam afterward and shot bamboo to sulk XD
@jcs8568 only Korean war games I've scene are either mods or strategy games which are dope but a first person shooter during the Korean War would be a hit
You're absolutely correct about the "females in combat rolls" issue. Female PT standards for the Army when I was in from 2008-2014 were a lot lower than the males of the same age. I heard they moved away from that with the new pt testing. Having one standard across the board. But found that the majority of females couldn't do the leg tucks. I believe the army moved back to the gendered standards after they saw that females couldn't pass the new test. Which is wrong if women are allowed in combat MOS's, then the standards must be the same. Period. Also, during my time in.. most of the females that I encountered were either pregnant or on profile and were nondeployable. The worst was that so many couldn't pass PT, yet they would still get promoted instead of being booted out. The guys would get counseled and were passed up for promotion if they failed PT... if it continued, then they were kicked out. But in war-time... this crap will get people 💀... 🤡💩
If the standards are the same you can trust the competency of the soldiers you are with. If not, you will never trust the ones who are not held to the same standards. This will increase negative stereotypes of those people and actually hurts them, not to mention potentially getting them or those in their squad killed.
IIRC, there was also a study done by the Marines in which they found women suffered a higher rate of injury while moving with combat loads; it's not just a PT issue, their bodies are literally more fragile, so where a man might roll or sprain an ankle while moving with 60+ lbs of gear, a woman has a much higher chance of breaking an ankle.
The European/eastern theatre was being worked on too -the most iconic battles (D-Day, Russians, Stalingrad) but the closest we got was some early stuff like cosmetics, maps, weapons, and America replacing Britain in some of the euro maps ☹️
I was wishing for Sino-Japanese War to be added at least, AKA where WW2 really started. There are very few games about this part of WW2. In addition, I wish they added wars that happen alongside WW2, like the Winter War, Soviet-Japan border conflicts like Khalkin Gol and Lake Khasan, and Ecuador-Peru War.
I really appreciate the talk about ESG. Not enough people are aware of it's existence. There are also more related things like DEI, Bridge, and Sweet Baby that are just as, if not more nefarious than ESG. some of them straight up talk about indoctrinating the masses into thinking a certain way, and they're very open about it. It's honestly kind of terrifying when you look into it.
this was revealed right as i was in my last quarter of game dev college in seattle. it started getting bad in 2016 there, but we even had teachers trying to gaslight us about this game, saying "the only reason people don't like it is cause they're sexist"
@@KK20191Obnoxious every WW2 game now is about some female resistance fighter super corny and over done to the point that I want a game about a die hard Nazi masculine man who exposes the atrocities of the Allies Look up Devils Brigade if you think Allies did nothing wrong
@@KK20191 nope... thats just not what happened... and you were either gas lit by these same people or are willingly perpetuating this narrative. people were mad that a UE amputee (who would not be eligible for front line duty AND who just so happened to be a woman) was being depicted as a 1 man army and being in a role that women were not typically part of in ww2, they were annoyed that a British solider who would have been fighting entirely in Europe had a imperial Japanese officers saber. People were already sort of disappointed in the inaccuracies of BF1 (too many automatics, re writing of events, over representation), and even though they weren't as glaring as Vs, these inaccuracies weren't pushed to the forefront before it was even released.
still the best BF imo. the fact brainlets would rather run around doing nothing on giant conquest maps VS nailbiting objective based Rush mode is crazy to me. luckily the FInals feels a lot like rush now with the cashout/steal mechanic, since i think it has some of the same devs
@@johnsmith-fk7fwby "nail-biting," you must mean "chaotic to the point of being unplayble at times with dozens of players constantly spamming explosives at the objective." You don't "run around in giant maps" (well, you do in some of them) in conquest. You fight 20-minute long gunfights in chokepoints and strategic objectives. At least in some maps, anyway.
One thing I haven't seen someone say, and this is my opinion on the subject, is that I feel that ignoring the contributions of the women who did actually fight in favor making something up is even more disrespectful. Basically it says "sorry but I don't think your actual effort, and sacrifice is good enough for my daughter so I'm just gonna go make some shit up." It's especially a let down to me because there were so many historic tid-bits that I learned from BF1 that not only kept me engaged with the game but also led me down many youtube binges about WWI stuff. All which would culminate in visiting the National WWI Memorial in Kansas City, MO. last year. That and Sabaton having back to back WWI albums helped fuel my interest.
I think he made that point that they should have included women in the roles that they actually were in during WW2 and recognized the importance of those roles. Front line fighting roles are not necessarily the most important roles. Without women in the roles they took, the outcome of the war could have been much different. To diminish the importance of those roles is to diminish the people who served in them.
I will agree that narratives like the bullshit they fabricated for the Norwegian Heavy Water sabotage, since all it does is ignore the actual impact women had. The saddest part was the developers tried to backtrack and claim the game was set in a 'fictional' version of WWII. Such a concept isn't bad, it's how other WWII fictional media is able to exist like Saving Private Ryan, but the difference is other fictions were advertised to at least be authentic experiences. They could have easily played into this fictional alternate reality much more and been fine. An audience adequately prepared to see stuff like female soldiers in a conflict that was set during the early 20th century would be able to suspend their disbelief for it. WWII is largely attributed as being a 'death war' where many nations fought to the last and even continued to resist. AR wasn't totally correct when he said that it was only the USSR that put women in combat roles, but the other nations like Germany that did were also nations that were basically pushed to the brink. A alternate WWII where the situation is so desperate that women get put on the frontlines just to fill combat exhausted combat units would be perfectly palpable had that been the intention. It wasn't, though, with the inclusion just being to show some story of a mother and her daughter having issues and resolving them while fighting Nazis.
@@FlakeTillmanHe mentioned the ones who were involved such as the Soviet snipers. resistance fighters, and in espionage. One he didn't mention was the Soviet Air Force 588 sqdrn, which was all female. These could have served as fun foundations for their own missions but the devs decided to do the lazy thing, and re-write known instances instead. IIRC the top Soviet sniper was actually a woman, and since east front sniper missions are a given for a WWII game, then I would have loved playing missions based on her experience than another re-hash of Stalingrad. Hell why not some resistance missions set in occupied countries? BF1 showed that the team could actually put some work into digging through history to shine a light on things people might have never heard of, and use them to build a fun, sort of historic fiction. BFV was more like a bad fan-fic from tumblr.
@@airplanenut89 Don't forget the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment that held the line in the Stalingrad Military district, keeping the Nazis from crossing the Volga river. They were made up of Soviet volunteer women who had just completed their highschool level educations. Nazis were even shocked that such a unit put up a ferocious fight. So even if a developer didn't want to go the Soviet Sniper route, that'd give an option for the player seeing some of the most brutal fighting of the war from a woman's perspective.
The thing i appreciate the most about BF5 is the British-German part of the war. Many games and media especially nowadays just ignore it for a German-American, German-USSR and Japanese -American. Britain was in the war from the start and have many battles that get ignored
If I remember correctly the Russian recon class on BF1 were female characters and that was a cool detail. The obviously had BF1 before BFV so it sucks to see them mess that up after getting it way more accurate.
@@AjackLee4It’s the colonial troops of Germany, but were only in Europe after the fall of German colonies there were only like a few thousand, maybe 10s of thousands but were very small number compared to the millions of white soldiers so it’s just a detail like the Russian female sniper which is a reference to the women’s death battalion
RisingStorm 2 Vietnam fixed the problem of what weapons were used when, at least in the campaign by only having early war weapons available and as the war/game went on you would see the m14 get replaced with the m16 and the sks turn into akms. I still believe that BFBC2 is the best BF Dice/EA has ever made
And the vietnam DLC was also the best and most fun vietnam in gaming history. Good times when wokeness didn't exist. Everything from uniforms to weapons was authentic and immersive.
Sam Hyde talked about that like a month or two before the one female cop accidentally drew her gun instead of her tazer and shot some dude. Prophetic, really.
Oh yeah, I forgot about BF Vietnam. I enjoyed that one and BF1942 (with desert combat too). I never really got back into BF until BF5. Although, I mostly only played the Pacific mulitplayer, though.
I'll never forget all the little girls at boot in the female platoon back before it all became integrated, we didn't see them that much but typically when rucking or marching along somewhere they'd be doing the same off somewhere else, I swear to christ our rucksacks were bigger than a LOT of these girls' entire torsos were, and a lot of them were struggling big time-every time- with packs and M16's and God knows what else. Only good thing about it was getting to see the female DI's, a lot of them were pretty smoking hot especially with their hair all done up perfectly, asses poppin in the uniform lol, they weren't even remotely intimidating to say the least 😂 Most every male DI looked like they'd body them with one hand tied behind their back. Even despite the fact there's, a very very miniscule amount of, girls/women who could hack it at the *same exact* standards as men and actually operate in the theoretical scenarios our military trains and solely exists for, there will *always* and *forever* be a man who could outperform them, and why in gods name do want 18-24yo girls being sent in situations we don't even want our men in let alone them? The idea of 'sending our boys off to war' is bad enough, but 'sending our boys and girls off to war' is absolutely startling.
Prior service here. Some of my worst leaders and fellow airmen were females with the girl boss attitude. Made nonsensical decisions, and got mad when I really tired to do my job.
Meh. 2 of the best soldiers I worked with were women. Some of the worst I worked with were also women. I also worked with some great, and some shitty, men.
@Storming32 The military just isn't a college social experiment, it isn't some corporation with employees crunching numbers in cubicles before knocking off to go home at 4:30, there should be zero compromise here. For hundreds of years it has been universally understood with virtually everybody, the military is a man's world, it sure as hell isn't some privilege either lol, just like it isn't 'privilege' that 99% of garbage "workers" are men and same goes for just about any physically grueling-shitty-work. Admittedly there's some MOS' women could be perfectly fine in, "Water purification specialist," nurses, doctors, logistics, but anything involving combat-on the ground/sea/or air-and leadership, should be an inherent no-go.
Easiest "fix" to women in BFV; Add the Soviet Union. Add the Soviet Night Witches Po-2 as their light bomber with female pilots and Female medic class, and maybe one for the Tank class and boom, historically accurate, AND women are in the game too, so both sides get what they want, But that would make sense so of course Dice wouldn't dare think of it.
Even they were exceptions though. EXCEPTIONS DONT NEED REPRESENTATION. Just because muh couple of women fought for this one niche group doesn't mean they need to make an appearance. It flies in the face of reality
@@lokikinch TBH as a woman, I do not want this compromise of wokeness. I'd rather have no women in a game than to have unrealistic woke women in a game. The same goes for forcing "latinx" into a game, as an indigenous mexicana... I do NOT want it! I'm tired of woke pandering, and I'm also tired of online-only bullshit and P2W/Gambling monetization.
If you want a more "accurate" WW2 shooter that's still "casual" with combined arms try Enlisted. They take some liberties for balance reasons but its pretty spot on. Also it uses the vehicle system from War Thunder.
@@Birch12430no, social credit scores are a new thing. Being rejected by your community in the past is one thing, having a score system that follows you wherever you go is a completely different animal.
ESG isn't for investors to feel better about their investment, it's to exclude companies from taking loans if they don't meet the ESG score that meets the over-arching social narrative of undermining anything that can resist the G-sphere banking cartels, or feed momentum to pulling back against those who pull the puppeteer's strings.
It was dices reaction after people reacted negatively to the trailer that sealed it's fate for me. Called everyone racist and sexist and said they don't want "us" buying their game anyway and if you don't like it don't buy it. So I didn't.
Trailer was very devastating but i still gave it at chance form of beta. Well if trailer itself was not bad enough gameplay and new mechanics really made it clear this is not going to be my game. Really hated that very limited ammo capacity what normal assault can carry. Bolt-actions were nerfed from bf1 and we went back to headshot only kill. And tanks were literally shooting blanks and throwing tennisballs to each other. 2 hours was enough and gave up and still being bit pissed about how it was possible to ruin overally most iconic war period. Bf 2042 would have been better but they really overworked to squeese every possible bug and unwanted technical problem to that game. i was having so much of fun times since bad company 2 and bf3. Played bf2 quite lot but never got good at it. Skipped bf4 and rebooted series with bf 1(ww1) Now im sad to see this franchise to slipping dow to drainpipe when two games in a row have been pretty much shit. Not exacly having high hopes to see actually good new BF game if they really cant focus on things what gamers actually wanted.
Same saw it during the reveal, i think they had Trevor Noah pushing it that day. Saw the trailer, have not touched the game once. Promised myself never to reward that kind of trash.
This is such a deep and well explained video. A lot of things have become clearer for me, I really had my eyes opened to this ESG score thing and how it ties into the greater whole.
To add to the Soviet female snipers, a great addition to a battlefield game would have been the Night Witches. They flew antiquated crop dusters on bombing missions. They would turn off their engines and glide in so that the only sound they made on approach was the rustling of their canvas wings. The Germans compared this sound to a witch's cloak rustling as she's flying along on her broom, giving them their name. Super dangerous missions, completely dilapidated equipment, insanely brave women, perfect obscure vehicle mission for a WWII battlefield game. Documented personally and perfectly in "A Dance With Death" by Anne Noggle, a US WWII woman pilot. Also, how about the Soviet women drafted into homeland defense? My great grandmother was a "zenitchitsya, " or member of an AA gun team in her local guard. From the stories I was told when i was little, great-gran put in some serious work. Imagine that mission. It's possible to be inclusive without pandering, they just aren't trying.
Dude, he is absolutely right, and another example that really pissed me off was the new Pirates of the Carribean announcement. Holy Jesus that thing is gonna flop harder than a raw tortilla in the wind.

I’ve been enjoying the WW1 series games. Verdun, tannenburg, and especially Isonzo, you can tell they respect history greatly and know how to balance fun and realism. It’s not exactly a battlefield experience but running through the alps with a carcano or a Bodeo revolver is a lot of fun.
I like these games, but I think they do struggle to balance fun and accuracy sometimes. I think for the most part, people (myself included) prefer BF1 because it managed to balance respecting the history with having fun arcade shooter gameplay.
@@ExtantPerson Respect history? BF1 was utter shit in every metric except for graphics. I can only assume you were either young or ignorant of history to enjoy that. Games like Red Orchestra and Rising Storm struck a really good balance between realism and casual fun.
@@fridrekr7510 Not true, at all. BF1 took plenty of creative liberties, but none that disrespected the war or those who fought in it like BFV did. At the very start of the game, it explicitly pays its respects to those who died and tells the player of the harsh reality of a soldier fighting. The end credits do this, too. The codex’s entire existence is to educate players on the actual history, and even points out where BF1 took some liberties (many of which were necessary to maintain fun gameplay). BF1 didn’t disrespect WW1 veterans or paint the war as some sort of silly fun time. BFV did. Don’t mix them up
@@AdministrativeResults When asked about the pacific EA’s CCO said: “its not that necessary, if you don’t like it don’t buy it” so I seriously doubt they even knew there was a war in China.
My batt. was one of the last in the army to make the switch from all male. We had 6 females assigned to our supply company on the lead up to deployment. 4 of them came down with cases of unplanned pregnancy right before we left. It's hard being a lady warrior. Pregnancy can strike anywhere, anytime.

You should play Enlisted. Enlisted is a WW2 squad based, (sort of) tactical shooter with tanks, infantry, and even aircraft. (Basicly battle field five but a lot more realistic) (and no wamon)
Just a thought - if they had marketed it as “based on real events”, in the style of so many movies these days that have only a vague passing resemblance to the original topic, then all of the historical inaccuracies(guns in the wrong place, women in combat roles) would have been fine, imo
Bad Company 2 and 1943 were my first battlefield games, still my favorites, RIP the multiplayer servers, I still played on them. My dream gun all my life has been an XM8, hope one day I can get one of those TommyBuilt XM8 conversions.
A few months before they abandoned BFV it was showing so much promise, iwo jima was a fantastic map, and the guns and balance felt great. Then Dice with all their incompetence decided to mess with the TTK again, which already went poorly last time they did it to attract casuals before a busy sale season, then abandoned the game with that TTK in place. Also I really liked the fortification/building system, and I'm sad that its probably never going to come back because of how badly Dice bungled the game.
I listen to a guy who says the same thing you have outlined. The quote he likes is "it became more profitable to check esg boxes than to make games for our audience"
An outstanding example of this was Tiny Tina's Wonderlands. Funny how it was also the very first Borderlands game with a Teen rating instead of Mature Audience.
@@r0br33r It was part of an entire franchise called Borderlands that has been releasing games since 2009. I've been playing them since probably 2011, they were great games until Tiny Tina. The title of that game fits into the story and a specific character. They just decided to go full wokie and will never be getting my money again. Context matters, not just a title.
BFV had so much potential but I learned to love it over time. I really liked the uniforms and camos. Also in campaign there is weird interesting thing going on with the Wehrmacht troop uniforms. Seemingly showing rare uniforms/patterns that aren’t accessible in multiplayer. Even when you play on the allied side when exiting the plane you see other npcs rocking rare uniform patterns
The thing I hated the most about bf5 was the lack of eastern front maps like Stalingrad, Kursk and Leningrad because this was the real decider of the war and the storymode felt very lackluster compared to BF1
BF1 had this game mode called "SIR" Standard Issue Rifles which was of an Authentic experience even if it wasn't really well balance. But think 5 could've benefited from a gamemode like that where you could customize your player and loadout but it's restricted to more historical loadouts for immersion sake.

Matt from Demo Ranch's brother plays a lot of those types of games. His name is OperatorDrewski. He occasionally plays with people like Donut Operator, EliDoubeTap, and more.
HLL gets a bad rap for being a walking simulator, but that only happens when your squad leader is absolutely incompetent. For those who haven't played HLL, there are three types of places you can spawn: the HQ spawns at the very back of your side of the map; the Garrison spawn, which can be placed by an Officer when Supplies are nearby; then you have the Outpost spawn, which only your squad can spawn on - the squad leader can place it down after a cooldown or after it is destroyed by enemies. So long as your squad leader is not incompetent, he will keep replacing your outpost with new ones as you advance or retreat - so with a competent SL, you should not be more than a 1 minute walk from the frontline.
Speaking of the eastern front, I bought Dan Carlin's hard-core history series on the Osrfront the last time you mentioned it and it was fucking fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone interested.
Pretty much the entire Hardcore History series is gold. His WW1 series might be my favorite. Ghosts of the Ostfront is right up there though for sure! Very different way of telling the events. Makes it more impactful and grounded in reality rather than some abstracted thing that might as well have been a movie or a book.
24:43 Reacher is an excellent show. I’m watching the S1 finale tonight for the second time, as I haven’t watched season two yet 🤌 very well written show.

@@flaneur1917 Damn, I believe that. They did a pretty stellar job with season one all around, so it’s hard to top that. I like the way the plot is starting though, but that’s kind of a bummer that the finale is a letdown. Thanks for the heads up
You liked it? It felt extremely cringe, inaccurate, bad portrayals, shitty stereotypes and tropes done poorly. The scene where Jack puts on camo face paint and clothing before facing off against the bad guys in the villa was damn near vomit inducing.

Policing in my country has become a nightmare because of DEI. Our police force has virtually no standards anymore. To become a police officer, you had to be at least 170 cm tall, which was already a joke, and now even this low requirement has been abolished. Now we have policewomen with a physique like a hobbit. They look like children who have been dressed in a uniform and handed a Glock. If you call the police in my country, chances are you'll have to protect them.
Very good point. They could have saved this game with better game modes, having different levels of realism and historical accuracy. Or if that was too complicated, they could have just made it more like difficulty levels. The more realistic and historically accurate, the higher the difficulty. This would emphasize that the less historically accurate levels were more just for fun (ex. rare guns with optics, female characters, and health regeneration, etc).
The mechanics and UI of BFV were superb, the guns and vehicles feel satisfying to use, and the atmosphere (albeit not as perfectly crafted as BF1's) made it feel gritty enough and fun to be immersed in. It's a shame that DICE took their initial route in addition to releasing the game unpolished and unfinished (as is tradition now), because overall BFV is an amazing title in retrospect. What's more of a shame is all the theaters of this conflict that were cut, like the Normandy campaign, eastern front and battle of Berlin to name a few.
@@thatgreenslime9517 what? Movement in BF1 is way more sluggish, not as flexible. Gun play is definitely worse due to bullet deviation, and the suppression mechanics. Vehicles are way more powerful. So are class gadgets. Even the weapons. You can't go one game without some guy spamming a 100 service star hellriegel, or smg 08/18. Plus more other minor things. BF1 is a great game, but mostly because of the setting and atmosphere. It is not breaking any records in actual gameplay.
I played BF1 on PC and Xbox and BFV on Xbox, and I have to totally agree with @Hanz_Goober here. BFV movement, gunplay and overall combat were just better in almost every way compared to BF1. Not that BF1 's mechanics were bad at all - they were amazing when they came out. But compared side by side, I'll take BFV's mechanics all day.

If you have a PC I would recommend Enlisted, it's a free to play WWII game with both eastern and western European fronts. I haven't played it in a while but I remember it being a good mix of realistic and arcade style gameplay.

Totally with you on how they trivialize the feats and hardships these real men that fought, sacrificed, and died for their countries, not that women haven't had a role in warfare, but they should be portrayed in the roles they were actually in, like the women snipers of the Soviets or female spies, as well as many other roles throughout history, portraying them differently takes the credit away from the actual achievements of these real women, so ultimately does a disservice to both men and women who served their countries!
11:09 as a fan of WW2 history, I actually hate that, particularly with the uniforms, because the vast majority of them aren’t even close to WW2 uniforms. Gas masks, trench coats, undershirts… heck, the Americans don’t even have a decent European theatre uniform, with the closest being a mix of GI and Yankee, both of which have the wrong colors for the torso.
This is crazy, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I havent watched the vid yet but all they had to do was take BF1 and keep the ballistics system, most of the same HUD, but make new maps and obviously make it WW2. I have no idea how they looked at the success of BF1 and went "cool, we should make the next game that takes place only a few decades in the future completely differently"
I don’t think the whole “women in bf5” thing would’ve even mattered if the game itself turned out to be amazing. No Eastern Front or more famous battles like Normandy were really what sealed the deal.

I’m surprised no one has done a Korean War setting. Battlefield 1 was a hit for WW1.
i honestly thought they were going to do Korea when this was announced and was super stoked. Especially since Bad company 2 Vietnam and the OG Vietnam games went so hard, and the idea of blasting that happy 1950s music on a tank just felt like so much fun. A few others theorized it would be too from some BF1 easter eggs hinting the release. Imagine my disappointment when the trailer for V got released.

You're absolutely correct about the "females in combat rolls" issue.
Female PT standards for the Army when I was in from 2008-2014 were a lot lower than the males of the same age. I heard they moved away from that with the new pt testing. Having one standard across the board. But found that the majority of females couldn't do the leg tucks. I believe the army moved back to the gendered standards after they saw that females couldn't pass the new test. Which is wrong if women are allowed in combat MOS's, then the standards must be the same. Period.
Also, during my time in.. most of the females that I encountered were either pregnant or on profile and were nondeployable. The worst was that so many couldn't pass PT, yet they would still get promoted instead of being booted out. The guys would get counseled and were passed up for promotion if they failed PT... if it continued, then they were kicked out.
But in war-time... this crap will get people 💀... 🤡💩
If the standards are the same you can trust the competency of the soldiers you are with. If not, you will never trust the ones who are not held to the same standards. This will increase negative stereotypes of those people and actually hurts them, not to mention potentially getting them or those in their squad killed.
IIRC, there was also a study done by the Marines in which they found women suffered a higher rate of injury while moving with combat loads; it's not just a PT issue, their bodies are literally more fragile, so where a man might roll or sprain an ankle while moving with 60+ lbs of gear, a woman has a much higher chance of breaking an ankle.
@@uummmnocoolnames I wonder how many of these women suffer long term back injuries for similar reasons.
Bro, are you saying you didn't like having to split the female's kit among two or three guys when she fell out in the field? What are you gay?

The European/eastern theatre was being worked on too -the most iconic battles (D-Day, Russians, Stalingrad) but the closest we got was some early stuff like cosmetics, maps, weapons, and America replacing Britain in some of the euro maps ☹️

People were already sort of disappointed in the inaccuracies of BF1 (too many automatics, re writing of events, over representation), and even though they weren't as glaring as Vs, these inaccuracies weren't pushed to the forefront before it was even released.

BC2 is the GOAT
Same way BF3 was a huge reason I bought a Benelli M4.
@@johnsmith-fk7fwby "nail-biting," you must mean "chaotic to the point of being unplayble at times with dozens of players constantly spamming explosives at the objective."
You don't "run around in giant maps" (well, you do in some of them) in conquest. You fight 20-minute long gunfights in chokepoints and strategic objectives. At least in some maps, anyway.
One thing I haven't seen someone say, and this is my opinion on the subject, is that I feel that ignoring the contributions of the women who did actually fight in favor making something up is even more disrespectful. Basically it says "sorry but I don't think your actual effort, and sacrifice is good enough for my daughter so I'm just gonna go make some shit up." It's especially a let down to me because there were so many historic tid-bits that I learned from BF1 that not only kept me engaged with the game but also led me down many youtube binges about WWI stuff. All which would culminate in visiting the National WWI Memorial in Kansas City, MO. last year. That and Sabaton having back to back WWI albums helped fuel my interest.
I think he made that point that they should have included women in the roles that they actually were in during WW2 and recognized the importance of those roles. Front line fighting roles are not necessarily the most important roles. Without women in the roles they took, the outcome of the war could have been much different. To diminish the importance of those roles is to diminish the people who served in them.
I will agree that narratives like the bullshit they fabricated for the Norwegian Heavy Water sabotage, since all it does is ignore the actual impact women had. The saddest part was the developers tried to backtrack and claim the game was set in a 'fictional' version of WWII. Such a concept isn't bad, it's how other WWII fictional media is able to exist like Saving Private Ryan, but the difference is other fictions were advertised to at least be authentic experiences. They could have easily played into this fictional alternate reality much more and been fine. An audience adequately prepared to see stuff like female soldiers in a conflict that was set during the early 20th century would be able to suspend their disbelief for it.
WWII is largely attributed as being a 'death war' where many nations fought to the last and even continued to resist. AR wasn't totally correct when he said that it was only the USSR that put women in combat roles, but the other nations like Germany that did were also nations that were basically pushed to the brink. A alternate WWII where the situation is so desperate that women get put on the frontlines just to fill combat exhausted combat units would be perfectly palpable had that been the intention. It wasn't, though, with the inclusion just being to show some story of a mother and her daughter having issues and resolving them while fighting Nazis.
Getting pigeonholed into doing administrative work and critical care nursing isn’t the same thing as Fighting.
@@FlakeTillmanHe mentioned the ones who were involved such as the Soviet snipers. resistance fighters, and in espionage. One he didn't mention was the Soviet Air Force 588 sqdrn, which was all female. These could have served as fun foundations for their own missions but the devs decided to do the lazy thing, and re-write known instances instead. IIRC the top Soviet sniper was actually a woman, and since east front sniper missions are a given for a WWII game, then I would have loved playing missions based on her experience than another re-hash of Stalingrad. Hell why not some resistance missions set in occupied countries?
BF1 showed that the team could actually put some work into digging through history to shine a light on things people might have never heard of, and use them to build a fun, sort of historic fiction. BFV was more like a bad fan-fic from tumblr.
@@airplanenut89 Don't forget the 1077th Anti-Aircraft Regiment that held the line in the Stalingrad Military district, keeping the Nazis from crossing the Volga river. They were made up of Soviet volunteer women who had just completed their highschool level educations. Nazis were even shocked that such a unit put up a ferocious fight. So even if a developer didn't want to go the Soviet Sniper route, that'd give an option for the player seeing some of the most brutal fighting of the war from a woman's perspective.
The thing i appreciate the most about BF5 is the British-German part of the war. Many games and media especially nowadays just ignore it for a German-American, German-USSR and Japanese -American. Britain was in the war from the start and have many battles that get ignored
If I remember correctly the Russian recon class on BF1 were female characters and that was a cool detail. The obviously had BF1 before BFV so it sucks to see them mess that up after getting it way more accurate.

Not military, but I've heard from many friends in various branches that many young women they encounter DO NOT belong there.
I'll never forget all the little girls at boot in the female platoon back before it all became integrated, we didn't see them that much but typically when rucking or marching along somewhere they'd be doing the same off somewhere else, I swear to christ our rucksacks were bigger than a LOT of these girls' entire torsos were, and a lot of them were struggling big time-every time- with packs and M16's and God knows what else. Only good thing about it was getting to see the female DI's, a lot of them were pretty smoking hot especially with their hair all done up perfectly, asses poppin in the uniform lol, they weren't even remotely intimidating to say the least 😂 Most every male DI looked like they'd body them with one hand tied behind their back. Even despite the fact there's, a very very miniscule amount of, girls/women who could hack it at the *same exact* standards as men and actually operate in the theoretical scenarios our military trains and solely exists for, there will *always* and *forever* be a man who could outperform them, and why in gods name do want 18-24yo girls being sent in situations we don't even want our men in let alone them? The idea of 'sending our boys off to war' is bad enough, but 'sending our boys and girls off to war' is absolutely startling.

@Storming32 The military just isn't a college social experiment, it isn't some corporation with employees crunching numbers in cubicles before knocking off to go home at 4:30, there should be zero compromise here. For hundreds of years it has been universally understood with virtually everybody, the military is a man's world, it sure as hell isn't some privilege either lol, just like it isn't 'privilege' that 99% of garbage "workers" are men and same goes for just about any physically grueling-shitty-work.
Admittedly there's some MOS' women could be perfectly fine in, "Water purification specialist," nurses, doctors, logistics, but anything involving combat-on the ground/sea/or air-and leadership, should be an inherent no-go.

To add to the Soviet female snipers, a great addition to a battlefield game would have been the Night Witches. They flew antiquated crop dusters on bombing missions. They would turn off their engines and glide in so that the only sound they made on approach was the rustling of their canvas wings. The Germans compared this sound to a witch's cloak rustling as she's flying along on her broom, giving them their name. Super dangerous missions, completely dilapidated equipment, insanely brave women, perfect obscure vehicle mission for a WWII battlefield game. Documented personally and perfectly in "A Dance With Death" by Anne Noggle, a US WWII woman pilot. Also, how about the Soviet women drafted into homeland defense? My great grandmother was a "zenitchitsya, " or member of an AA gun team in her local guard. From the stories I was told when i was little, great-gran put in some serious work. Imagine that mission.

People still play BF3?
I used to love COD,Battlefield Star Wars Battlefront. Was playing them right up until my son died. Playing Battlefront right up until I has to bring him home and the next morning, he was gone. I haven't had the heart to pic up a controller since 😢😢😢
I'm sorry, my dude that's horrible
@@TheDarksideFNothingThaks, I appreciate it.
@@rebelscumspeedshop I'm so sorry for your loss brother, I pray you pull through. Your son is watching and smiling to you from heaven. He'll always be there as one of your Garding Angels. Stay strong for him.
I feel like most games I’ve played in the last 5 years don’t feel finished 😭
Because they aren't. Game studios keep dropping beta or even alpha games and say "Well we can fix it over time, just give us your money".
Suits have figured out that people will buy the game regardless and it’s another reason preorders are a huge problem. Not to mention the people funding these companies and their agendas.
You should play Enlisted. Enlisted is a WW2 squad based, (sort of) tactical shooter with tanks, infantry, and even aircraft. (Basicly battle field five but a lot more realistic) (and no wamon)
Just a thought - if they had marketed it as “based on real events”, in the style of so many movies these days that have only a vague passing resemblance to the original topic, then all of the historical inaccuracies(guns in the wrong place, women in combat roles) would have been fine, imo
Bad Company 2 and 1943 were my first battlefield games, still my favorites, RIP the multiplayer servers, I still played on them. My dream gun all my life has been an XM8, hope one day I can get one of those TommyBuilt XM8 conversions.
A few months before they abandoned BFV it was showing so much promise, iwo jima was a fantastic map, and the guns and balance felt great. Then Dice with all their incompetence decided to mess with the TTK again, which already went poorly last time they did it to attract casuals before a busy sale season, then abandoned the game with that TTK in place. Also I really liked the fortification/building system, and I'm sad that its probably never going to come back because of how badly Dice bungled the game.
I listen to a guy who says the same thing you have outlined. The quote he likes is "it became more profitable to check esg boxes than to make games for our audience"
An outstanding example of this was Tiny Tina's Wonderlands.
Funny how it was also the very first Borderlands game with a Teen rating instead of Mature Audience.
@@ShrockWPS Imagine even knowing what that game is about lmfao, the name alone says garbage
@@r0br33r
It was part of an entire franchise called Borderlands that has been releasing games since 2009.
I've been playing them since probably 2011, they were great games until Tiny Tina.
The title of that game fits into the story and a specific character.
They just decided to go full wokie and will never be getting my money again.
Context matters, not just a title.
BFV had so much potential but I learned to love it over time. I really liked the uniforms and camos. Also in campaign there is weird interesting thing going on with the Wehrmacht troop uniforms. Seemingly showing rare uniforms/patterns that aren’t accessible in multiplayer. Even when you play on the allied side when exiting the plane you see other npcs rocking rare uniform patterns
The thing I hated the most about bf5 was the lack of eastern front maps like Stalingrad, Kursk and Leningrad because this was the real decider of the war and the storymode felt very lackluster compared to BF1
This is a top tier rant the people in your life should appreciate you more.
1:30 RIP Lan parties
I find myself going back to it every now and again. I love the pacific theater so thats what im playing if i get back on
It was the best thing that happened to that game
BF1 had this game mode called "SIR" Standard Issue Rifles which was of an Authentic experience even if it wasn't really well balance.
But think 5 could've benefited from a gamemode like that where you could customize your player and loadout but it's restricted to more historical loadouts for immersion sake.
This video has everything, video games, politics, dark humor, conservatism... Thanks for this time admin, keep shooting n rocking.
Cheers from Colombia... Not Columbia.
ESG = Carbon Credit = Social Credit =$$$$ thus follow the $$$
Well duh they're a corporation....... women have been in the military and in WW2
ESG = Extremely Shit Games
My oldest is 6 and youngest is 2. You'll get more time as they get older homie. Congrats
Admin it’s high time you finish the German army trifecta and dawn on the fallschirmjager larp and do a FG-42 review
There’s some men who mag dump over an acorn too, some people just don’t have the stones.
Dude imagine a mission or series of missions as french guerrilla fighters featuring Virginia Hall prominently. THAT would be BADASS and is a real example of BADASS women doing their part any way they could during WW2
I just wish we could go back to BF4s peak after the fixed most of the launch bugs, probably my favorite game ever
Admin. Check out rising storm 2 vietnam. Game is a whole vibe and a half. Its also super addictive and a mix of realism with some arcade elements. Its also the only video game in a while to get shotguns correct.
Sadly it's pretty much a dead game.
@Ungood-jl5ep the prgaming servers are decent and always have a good amount of players.
I always see it pop up on sale, but never pull the trigger on it. Seems so late in it's life cycle that meta is established and a new player would be crushed.
@Albus_Rex now you'll be good. It's a great game, and there's a good number of players.
@@Albus_Rexnah it's good i bought it in 2020 and it's pretty easy to get hand on it like having good game with descent kill
It would be really fun to see a group of guntubers play one of the more realistic teamwork shooters like Squad or Arma. I bet Karmakut or Moidawg would be happy to organize an event.
Matt from Demo Ranch's brother plays a lot of those types of games. His name is OperatorDrewski. He occasionally plays with people like Donut Operator, EliDoubeTap, and more.
@@oblivionsa7973oh yeah, i thought it was a joke when i discovered it, but it's true lol, it would be awesome to see a guntuber collab like that
HLL gets a bad rap for being a walking simulator, but that only happens when your squad leader is absolutely incompetent.
For those who haven't played HLL, there are three types of places you can spawn: the HQ spawns at the very back of your side of the map; the Garrison spawn, which can be placed by an Officer when Supplies are nearby; then you have the Outpost spawn, which only your squad can spawn on - the squad leader can place it down after a cooldown or after it is destroyed by enemies.
So long as your squad leader is not incompetent, he will keep replacing your outpost with new ones as you advance or retreat - so with a competent SL, you should not be more than a 1 minute walk from the frontline.
" I need to post a 8min ad"
"Pretend youre reviewing a video game and whine about esg. theyll take it"
Never knew about esg scores. Thank you for the information and what a good video!
ESG, DEI, WEF are definitely all good things to be educated in nowadays. All the crazy bullshit will make more sense all of a sudden
Speaking of the eastern front, I bought Dan Carlin's hard-core history series on the Osrfront the last time you mentioned it and it was fucking fantastic. Highly recommend for anyone interested.
Pretty much the entire Hardcore History series is gold. His WW1 series might be my favorite. Ghosts of the Ostfront is right up there though for sure!
Very different way of telling the events. Makes it more impactful and grounded in reality rather than some abstracted thing that might as well have been a movie or a book.
24:43 Reacher is an excellent show. I’m watching the S1 finale tonight for the second time, as I haven’t watched season two yet 🤌 very well written show.
Quick heads-up, season 2 is good but not as good as season 1. They kinda overextended themselves with the large extended cast, and the finale was a bit anticlimactic imo. Still good tv tho.
@@flaneur1917 Damn, I believe that. They did a pretty stellar job with season one all around, so it’s hard to top that. I like the way the plot is starting though, but that’s kind of a bummer that the finale is a letdown. Thanks for the heads up
Season 2 has some really janky CGI that's rather jarring to see in this day and age.
Is Amazon the only way to watch it?
I've seen clips and it looks great, we dropped Amazon probably 3 years ago now though
You liked it? It felt extremely cringe, inaccurate, bad portrayals, shitty stereotypes and tropes done poorly. The scene where Jack puts on camo face paint and clothing before facing off against the bad guys in the villa was damn near vomit inducing. Show COULD have been interesting but was just very poorly executed.
Bro... This video hit so hard for me, all that is needed is you smoking a Fum stick and be surrounded by a cloud of aromatic mystery. This gives me vibes that what a boomer fireside chat would be like but if it got the modern update!
admin bringing up ESG scores is not something i was expecting to see on the main channel but its a welcome surprise
Admin with all his military stuff then the random star wars helmet on the shelf
Man needs to try that Galactic Contention mod for Squad.
It is military though. He got it on the forest moon of Endor.
I am a life long Battlefield fan. I have played it since OG 1942 on PC. I 100% agree with you. Also I want a modern BF 2142. I miss going around crushing stuff with battlewalkers. And BF4 final stand absolutely trashed the hover tank even though BF4 has the most well refined multiplayer IMO.
Help... My first buy for PS5... Was about to order BF5 last night.... What's the 1 or 2 best... New gamer and need a spare time FPS in my life.. with some awesome WW2/WW1/modern vibes and weapons.
@@ThePatriotParadox Enlisted's a free-to-play WWII game that's pretty decent. Can be kind of grindy (like any free to play game) but it's not really pay to win. Just pay to progress quicker.
Man it took me a full 10 seconds to figure out what I was looking at between the thumbnail and channel, kept thinking it was some new channel I haven't seen before. Really like the idea of delving into more non-gun or tangentially gun-related topics once in awhile.
Admins channel has grown large enough he can say 80% of anything he wants. This is good. Also like the different types of content you put out aside from shooting.
if they wouldn't have cut support for the game and worked on an Eastern European/German theater i'm 100% sure they would've added a King Tiger
Your face in the thumbnail summed up my feelings of the game.
Appreciated getting the "Admin 2 cents" on that as I'm a Battlefield O.G. on the P.C. but haven't played much in recent years other than playing the rather good multiplayer in BF1.
1942, Desert Combat, Vietnam, BF2, BF1, enjoyed them especially the LANs and multiplayer. Yessir, oh boy oh boy. ⚔
Forgotten hope
Nailed it admin, you don't play as a woman for the girl power, you do it for the boys to have a better view.
Policing in my country has become a nightmare because of DEI. Our police force has virtually no standards anymore. To become a police officer, you had to be at least 170 cm tall, which was already a joke, and now even this low requirement has been abolished. Now we have policewomen with a physique like a hobbit. They look like children who have been dressed in a uniform and handed a Glock. If you call the police in my country, chances are you'll have to protect them.
"Don't like it, don't buy it."
His face fits the loading screen oddly well
as a father myself you gotta get some game time in where you can. those nap times are perfect for that lol
Clicking on this: "Eh, he'll talk about a game. Dont care, but I'll watch."
Watching the video "Sweet: he's pointing out esg bs and real history!"
Very good point. They could have saved this game with better game modes, having different levels of realism and historical accuracy.
Or if that was too complicated, they could have just made it more like difficulty levels. The more realistic and historically accurate, the higher the difficulty. This would emphasize that the less historically accurate levels were more just for fun (ex. rare guns with optics, female characters, and health regeneration, etc).
That scout trooper helmet in the background is sick. Future silly little larp video??

How did you comment one day ago when this video is less than an hour old (at the time I'm writing this comment)
There is a glitch where if you fast travel right as you press the comment button it will say the comment is from the previous day.@@SimulationNPC
For me WWII weapon with ACOG, moder optic is no go.
"If you don't want it don't buy it." Alright then. That was their Diablo "Don't you have phones?" moment.
Man, I'd love to see you cover Sweet Baby Inc. next.
The mechanics and UI of BFV were superb, the guns and vehicles feel satisfying to use, and the atmosphere (albeit not as perfectly crafted as BF1's) made it feel gritty enough and fun to be immersed in. It's a shame that DICE took their initial route in addition to releasing the game unpolished and unfinished (as is tradition now), because overall BFV is an amazing title in retrospect. What's more of a shame is all the theaters of this conflict that were cut, like the Normandy campaign, eastern front and battle of Berlin to name a few.
Did you play bf1?
V felt totally unplayable compared to 1. Mechanics just felt off in every way.
@@thatgreenslime9517 what? Movement in BF1 is way more sluggish, not as flexible. Gun play is definitely worse due to bullet deviation, and the suppression mechanics. Vehicles are way more powerful. So are class gadgets. Even the weapons. You can't go one game without some guy spamming a 100 service star hellriegel, or smg 08/18. Plus more other minor things. BF1 is a great game, but mostly because of the setting and atmosphere. It is not breaking any records in actual gameplay.
@@Hanz_Goober what system? Maybe I just need to play on PC.
@@thatgreenslime9517 I play Xbox, it always felt fine to me. I played it on an Xbox one, and series X. Never had any problems.
I played BF1 on PC and Xbox and BFV on Xbox, and I have to totally agree with @Hanz_Goober here. BFV movement, gunplay and overall combat were just better in almost every way compared to BF1. Not that BF1 's mechanics were bad at all - they were amazing when they came out. But compared side by side, I'll take BFV's mechanics all day. Not to mention the resupply systems, squad revive features that were just a huge QoL update to the franchise. Atmosphere though? BF1 in a heartbeat. @@thatgreenslime9517
Love the format man. Im an all out nerd for games could hear ya talk about it all day
If you have a PC I would recommend Enlisted, it's a free to play WWII game with both eastern and western European fronts. I haven't played it in a while but I remember it being a good mix of realistic and arcade style gameplay.
It's on consoles too!
I think he even did an ad read for them, he really should give it a try
The grind is unfathomably bad though. I don't recommend people jump in for that reason alone. Given he's a new father with no time as is, the game is a non-starter.
@@Albus_Rex have you played after the merge? BR 2 is the most fun anyway, he can just stay there and play
@@rollastudent Yes, I'm currently playing "new era", Germany BR II and it's pretty dog water. The core gameplay is "fine" but the grind and the matchmaker are horrendous. Having played War thunder for a time, I should have known better. It's Free to play garbage, I'd rather pay a flat fee for product than be nickeled and dimed every month.
Totally with you on how they trivialize the feats and hardships these real men that fought, sacrificed, and died for their countries, not that women haven't had a role in warfare, but they should be portrayed in the roles they were actually in, like the women snipers of the Soviets or female spies, as well as many other roles throughout history, portraying them differently takes the credit away from the actual achievements of these real women, so ultimately does a disservice to both men and women who served their countries!
11:09 as a fan of WW2 history, I actually hate that, particularly with the uniforms, because the vast majority of them aren’t even close to WW2 uniforms. Gas masks, trench coats, undershirts… heck, the Americans don’t even have a decent European theatre uniform, with the closest being a mix of GI and Yankee, both of which have the wrong colors for the torso.
Do not forget Wild Eagle
This is crazy, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I havent watched the vid yet but all they had to do was take BF1 and keep the ballistics system, most of the same HUD, but make new maps and obviously make it WW2. I have no idea how they looked at the success of BF1 and went "cool, we should make the next game that takes place only a few decades in the future completely differently"
Was about 3 decades in the future but still very true. EA not only dropped the ball, the threw it in the trash and lit it on fire.

I love battlefield games but felt it peaked at BF4. BF1 and V were still great games, though. Spent hours of fun playing them
BF3 for me
@@PsychoBeast017Once DICE LA picked up BF4 support it became a better game than BF3 ever was. Aged like a fine wine vs a bottle of two buck chuck.
Yeah, 100%. I liked V but there are so many cheaters and with support ending it's not really worth playing.
i preordered battlefield 4 on pc and it was so bad at launch i wound up getting a ps4 copy and that played fine
I love the split second DBZ reference. Your editing remains undefeated.
Play Easy a red 2. Offline, map editor, squad commands, land sea and air vehicles, and uncommon campaigns like the invasion of Greece.
I don’t think the whole “women in bf5” thing would’ve even mattered if the game itself turned out to be amazing. No Eastern Front or more famous battles like Normandy were really what sealed the deal.
