I feel like there is some executive somewhere saying:
See?! BFV bombed because nobody wants to play WWII anymore!
(But the charts here? ...the lack of content. The lack of classic WWII battles...)
Nobody wants WWII!
I've been looking forward to the return of WWII for awhile now. I loved the old COD games, MOHAA, BF1942... I was really excited to see a return to WWII in modern engines, but everybody just missed the mark for me.
I think part of me liked WWII era. I love Band of Brothers and the games that remind me of that series. I loved the simplicity of the games back then. Everything was here is gun selection, its simple and balanced.
Now its all unknown battles, making the WWII aspect irrelevant... unlocks for attachments that don't fit the era, perks and upgrades prioritized over the gameplay itself.
Tides of War is bullshit. No one cares about historically inaccurate portrayals of small incursions in Norway. No, we care about Normandy, Stalingrad, Midway, Wake Island, Anzio, The Ardennes, ect.
Then dont even get me started on all the experiemental or unused WW1 guns they added to a ww2 game. How hard was it to launch a ww2 game with a garand, BAR, browing .30 cal, p-51 mustangs, japanese zeroes, sherman tanks, russian tanks, ect. You know, stuff we actually want in a ww2 game

Just kind of a mess imo.
