Blog:Battlefield VS Medal of Honour

Well, recently EA and DICE has managed to start the #NotMyBattlefield trend with their horrifically messy trailer for Battlefield V. Beisdes the numerous historical inaccuracies that stuck out like sore thumbs (manned V1s, Bf 109 E ground attackers, Tigers allied with Churchills, golden katanas), the most jarring of them all has to be the immortal British girl with the mechanical arm that look like she'd just popped in from the Wolfenstein universe.

Of course, many fans of BF are left disappointed, even the "knight of neutrality" Erik Kain voiced out his discontent. And the corrupt game journalists and SJW douchebags are again leaving out the key words and using women as shields to deflect criticism from a game they considered "woke" and "progressive" for more virtue signalling points.

Some even called the trailer "outright disrespectful to women" and frankly I agree, it's obvious that the trailer is some cringeworthy Girl Power promo but instead of existing roles like British spies, Soviet snipers, French resistance fighters or an exceptionally brave medic, they have to pick this caricature that diminishes the actual roles played in the war by suggesting that femal soldiers are fictional.

But I'm getting off topic here, recently I've just discovered the cover of Medal of Honor Underground. And I don't think that ANYONE ever complained about that, so what's the difference?

1. Not Too Outlandish
The girl on the cover, Manon, actually looks like someone who'd fought at WWII, no mechanical claw, no face paint, no custom tactical cricket bat (if a German kid can use a Panzerfaust, I don't see why she can't have a recoilless rifle). Basically what you expect a WWII soldier to look like,only female.

2. It's Underground
Since Manon is part of the La Résistance, seeing her engage in combat actually makes sense in a historical context. You see, including women in WWII games isn't that hard, there're quite a few instances where they fought: on the Eastern Lines, in the Underground etc. You don't have to add some unkillable one-armed lesbian Brit that never existed in this universe.

3. It's 18 Years Ago
Last but not least, it was released back in 2000, back in the days where journalists weren't stupid enough to attack their own customers, when we weren't bombarded with "men are inferior" propaganda. So excuse us for being highly senstive after being harassed non-stop for 4 years by lefties and SJWs about how evil and sinful cisgender white males are and how much the gaming industry hates its largest market demographic.
