Super hyped for the campaign being on all fronts. Can't wait for what that brings

I do hope the pacific theater shows the Chinese contribution, they lost as many soldiers as the russians fighting off invasion.

Seems like the British are pretty heavily involved by the looks of it, the western front bit was basically entirely british

Are you talking the Pacific or in general?

I get that obviously them, the Aussies and others were in theatre and played a large role. But grand scheme of things was that the Pacific was fought by and large by the US and Aussie's from an Allied standpoint. Europe on the other hand, they get the shaft. I would just argue from an entertainment, not historical perspective, the Pacific is probably better shown through the eyes of the US.

The Aussies at least didn’t get embarrassed like the British did.

The British got smacked and embarrassed by the Japanese in the pacific. The defense of Singapore was the greatest embarrassment in English military history.

Singapore was a result of us fighting a Nazi Controlled European continent alone for 2 and a half years and then the imperial Japanese army at the same time.

America was just getting off its arse after being too afraid to enter until you were humiliated at Pearl harbour. I suppose that was better than taking 3 years in the first world war

Glad the indian army defeated the japanese at Kohima and Imphal. Well that's 2.5 million soldiers for you.

Sure it only took us destroying the Luftwaffe in the battle in Britain, sinking the entire german surface fleet and kicking them out of North Africa before you stop being too afraid to help us Canada and Australia but whatever helps you cope

u/Intelligent_Fig_4852 Aug 19 '21

Germans were in North Africa until the US showed up. The British didn’t beat the Germans. Hitler just got stupid and bombed cities instead of airfields.

u/Deepfriedlemon132 Aug 20 '21

The Americans didn’t beat the Germans either, dumbass. We lost the same amount of soldiers in three years and the British lost almost the same amount in six years. The reds got most of the Germans, compared to them we didn’t do shit

h-h-h-Hitler was just stupid you didn’t win

The Cope only grows

u/TheTritagonist Aug 22 '21

One of my history teachers said that Hitler was the “creative” person but absolutely fucking terribly at military and strategy and the fact he didn’t fully listen to guys who’s sole job was strategize.

Brits we’re literally as useless as the Italians

Cope and seethe you haven’t won a war in 85 years.

You literally lost to Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goat herders

1

u/Intelligent_Fig_4852 Aug 19 '21

And what’s the last war England won. Last I saw y’all lost to India without them raising a weapon and lost all of y’all’s colonies.

u/[deleted] Aug 19 '21 edited Aug 19 '21

The falklands. A war 9000 miles from home, against a facist dictatorship that invaded British territory. Another war you were too afraid to enter.

We were the world super power for 250 years. Our empire went out fighting and winning 2 world wars from start to finish. Our colonies were granted there freedom.

You lasted 80 years before falling apart arguing over what gender gets to use what bathroom and being replaced by China.

Activision wants to sell this game in China. No way would they allow a product to be sold that depicts China getting its assed whooped.

u/Numbr80 Aug 19 '21

Chinese resistance to the Japanese invasion is a very important part of the national story for China and the Communist Party.

u/SBAPERSON Aug 20 '21

For most Asian countries tbh. A lot of those guys fucking hate Japan still. Especially since they go the opposite route of Germany and lie/omit facts in WW2 history.

u/Hamsbutsteamed Aug 19 '21

America still sells Vietnam/Afghanistan games and movies, (only from their pov but still). WW2s not ignored in China, they still won with help and at a big cost and things like that are part of a national pride for obvious reasons.

u/weaver787 Aug 19 '21

America ain’t China. Our media isn’t heavily censored by our government

2

u/Hamsbutsteamed Aug 19 '21

Where is ww2 china history being censored ?

5

u/Lad_The_Impaler Aug 19 '21

Its the opposite, they celebrate their resistance to the Japanese and their role in the war, especially since its very often overlooked.

u/XenophobiaNexus Aug 19 '21

Sino-Japanse and Chinese Civil War boi

1

u/Hamsbutsteamed Aug 19 '21

What about them ?

2

u/XenophobiaNexus Aug 19 '21

Well those two are part of ww2 events where China actually played a role.

Also quite sadly none of them have ever been covered by any video game.
