Ok well if you want to get hung up on that bit of pedantry go right ahead. I'm talking about the lethality, who do you get to remove the gunner from a team weapon? The sniper, because of the speed at which they can do it. In that way they fill the role quite well, walking up to mgs and wiping them thanks to gunning down the squad faster than they can re-man the gun.
woah, way to be smug.
sorry, but i think it is only one who is not hung up on the little pedantry, which means when one mentions 'sniper', its lethality and vulnerability come intertwined, both as important as another.
so i don't get why you are so hung up on that vocabulary. i mean, sniper is a cool word but not that cool.
1. The ideas of "good" and "evil' are over-simplifications. If your argument is that we can't portray evil things in games, then Wolfenstein shouldn't be allowed because mass murder should be considered "evil", no?
2. Why should being an evil character be discouraged or not allowed? Many games certainly offer the option to play a morally bankrupt character who commits murder on a whim, so why is it suddenly worse for those acts to affect virtual children (Illegal in the US) or wear swastika while you do it?
3. I think that dehumanizing the Nazi's is just as criminal as anything the Nazi's did. It underestimates how easy it is for anyone to commit atrocity, regardless of ideology. Regardless, it shouldn't matter how a game chooses to portray nazism. It's either all okay or none of it is okay.
4. If a game has to justify it's portrayal of nazism, shouldn't it also have to justify any other deplorable content? Why is it okay to feature an alien race that promotes eugenics and racial purity, but when it's real humans it's suddenly a problem?
5. Censorship of any art is an awful thing. Criticize it, if you object morally. That's a fair thing to do. But to say that they "shouldn't" do it because you don't agree with it is quite ignorant. I think such ideas, whether they be about the portrayal of nazi's, or women, or race or violence etc really hold games back because there is so much pressure to please as many people as possible that developers are forced to create analogues for the same thing. Fake-real countries are very common, for example. Everyone knows Far Cry 4 takes place in Tibet, but god forbid they call it Tibet.
1. i think i answered but oh well.same medium, different games, different rules. coh2 does not have a good reason to implement the offensive symbol.
2. fair point, but wouldn't it be better if developer had a reason to put offensive things in there games? i remember my roommate playing a game which involved him pissing on some ppl just because. that is stupid. its like a novelty item that you just put it in because you can and we'll hook ppl's attention for like an hour. and to put swastika in coh2, a symbol that affected like literally every people just mere 70 years ago in negative ways, i think there should be a better reason than 'just because some ppl want it in the game'.
3. I know that not all nazi members were murdering psychopaths. i think rommel was a committed nazi while still not committing other atrocities that may be georing and hitler did.
4. alien is completely fictional
5. but there is a good reason behind why you disagree with it. not a whim like 'argh, we want to play with nazi symbols on it just because~~'. let say if next deus ex or bioshock game that want to explore nazism and wanted to portray a real swastika in their game, but they were censored by governments. then i would agree with you because those games are as much about making player question about racist ways and human augmentation in mature ways. then i would agree with you and say the censors put on that game is stupid.
but lets not get off topic here. we are talking about coh2. lets not act like putting swastika in this game would achieve something profound. it would achieve satisfaction for a few obsessed ppl and probably offend more ppl in the name of nothing.
Due to the nature of the map,the game stalemated. But due to stupid and many losses inflicted upon Ostheer player in the beginning, Allies were reaching the critical mass faster...
So the Axis had to make a move and they did.
I was really hating this game because of my many mistakes early game. But thanks to my partner, I got back on my feet and I had one of the most fun coordinated tank battle in a long time.
1. That's what I'm saying. You should be able to play a game as a Nazi and gun down thousands of Americans, just like how you can play an American and gun down thousands of Nazi's.
2. You shouldn't have to justify a decision to portray something in art. They shouldn't have to censor themselves.
1. because Nazism is evil. and i am not saying it like an eighth grader who just learned about hitler for the first time.
2. every action should be justifiable. i literally have no idea how one can disagree on this. if you can't justify your act, it just means you did it for no good reason.
and again, like i told reforever, swastika in this game is censored because there is no good reason for it to be there. if this game was made to spark an educated debate about nazism and its place in the world etc, or if the game was going for a total historical accuracy, i would understand.
rename your casts to "Computerheats Laggy casts".Including endless lags all 2 secounds. Cant believe someone with such an extreme laggy Computer like you casting matches. You have the most laggy casts i ever saw. All 2-3 secounds your games start to lag around.
You should stop casting games or buy a better Computer because your casts a unwatchable with all These endless lags.
Absolute terrible laggy Performance.
although i am not as bitter, it is pretty bad lately. it wasn't laggy at all until like 4 casts ago. i don't know why but should be fixed immediately
Hot coffee was a scandal because it was content hidden in the game files, amplified by the moral outrage already existing againsy GTA.
Context shouldn't matter. If Wolfenstein is okay, then the inverse should also be okay.
context always matters.
i can proudly say i am an atheist but if there is an atheist wanting to be president of the US, he better say he is christian. same human, different persons, different rules and exceptions. same medium, different games, different rules and exceptions
i would not mind swastika on games like bioshock infinite just like how they implemented realistic racist tone of the time. because that game deals with the contents within the game to make us to really think about it (it tries to at least). but swastika in coh2 game wouldn't mean anything profound. and for a subject matter this delicate, you are better off not mentioning it unless you have a very good reason or about to have a delicate and extensive discussion about it.
also, swastika in wolfenstein didnt matter because they were trying to vilify the nazis because you were killing a truck load of them every minute. in this game, where you control german armed forces, you would be using some nazi units to kill non nazis, which is a completely different story.
not talking about unholstered when retreating. i can see the shreck icon when it becomes unholstered. but sometime during engagements, when i holstered schreck, but i can see some ranger models carrying it even with no shreck icon above their head. and when i press unholster shreck, their schrek icon appears as if it was holstered before.
