You say the game portrays the Soviet people as murders,thugs,etc. but it does the exact opposite. Not once in the campaign are the people who are actually fighting, anything but heroic men and women willing to give their lives for their country. It is the high ranking officers within the Soviet Union, that are avatars for the corrupt near the seats of Stalin, who are the ones who commit the bad deeds.

There IS NO AGENDA, NO PROPAGANDA, from Relic, like so many Russians think. Relic isn't deliberately trying to portray Russia as a nation composed solely of heartless criminals, that's preposterous! This is a game made by a bunch of Canadian developers who wanted to show the nitty gritty of war, and that it wasn't anything like a "America hell ya! War is awesome!" kind of situation. To deny that things like this actually happened, where men were killed by their own, and that a nation was willing to sacrifice a lot in order to achieve victory, is the real sin. Germany did it, USA did it, Britain did it, and yes...so did the Soviets.

Now, was the portrayal of these war crimes excessive, or occurred way to often in the campaign? That is a stance that has more ground for debate. But to outright say that these types of atrocities never happened in Soviet Russia, or anyplace else, is a completely false and delusional position to hold.

Alright I'm super confused here, how is the campaign a misrepresentation of history again? It sounds to me like the OP is only upset because the Soviets were shown to have committed war crimes...just like every other nation during WW2. We shouldn't have to be shown the Germans doing the same thing, as it's already implied anyway, and it's something that is already shown time and time again in the game/movie industry.

Again, I have to ask, what has been shown that is so terrible and wrong, that it warrants complaint?

I totally agree, I miss out on the chance to showcase bad behaviour from douchie players.

The only new thing I saw was how the indicator that new commanders were available, has now changed to a headline in front of the screen instead of that obnoxious yellow flashing.

I think you bring up some very excellent points, and I think it would be in Relic's best interest to at least acknowledge this thread, if not implement these changes asap.
