I found a CoD montage that's legitimately funny and skillful. I'd argue "ninja defusing" takes more skill than trickshotting.
How DO you "ninja defuse?" Does that require the Ninja perk?

I bought Vanguard for myself and a buddy. He got me CW earlier this year and hooked me back into this series, so I figured I owed him. Pretty excited honestly, I even bought dew and doritos to play this weekend.
I really hope my PC can hold up though, the ethernet port died recently, and I had to order a USB-Ethernet adapter.
I will say that I don't give a shit about the politics in the game, as long as it plays fun. The lack of swastikas I have seen in the promos is just weird, and I dont really get how theres a Japanese guy on the side of the allies unless I am missing something.

Apparently he's a defector, as are some of the other characters in the game. Why they aren't part of an Axis side is beyond me, this is one of the more bizarre design choices they've made lately. Did they watch that dumbass Extra Credits video and miss all the backlash surrounding that?
I'm still looking forward to the game since I enjoyed the beta quite a bit, but what the hell man?

More on nuMW2.

The part about MW2R multiplayer is frustrating. Sounds like they were working on it but Kikevision told them to shelve it so it wouldn't step on MW2019's toes. And now they're stitching it into nuMW2's multiplayer.

The next Call of Duty instalment, Vanguard, is out this week, but developer Infinity Ward already has big plans for 2022’s Modern Warfare 2.

Am I wrong to find this as hilariously stupid as the disabled woman from Battlefield V?

Not really since someone leaving an army as fanatical as the IJA is as unlikely as robotic limbs in WWII.
I really don't understand why they can't have Ally & Axis teams when MW and CW had cosmetics for two factions.

I could...if their comrade-in-arms decapitated them 5 seconds later.
The Japanese army was something else in terms of refusing to surrender - they may have had their shit pushed in by the Allies, but they were nonetheless ferocious and uncompromising right up to the end.

You don't need a Jap defector. The 442nd RCT was almost entirely Japanese-Americans. One could easily tell a damn good story about them and how they were treated as expendable by their commanding officers and the people above him. But nooooo. We can't have actual stories of prejudice and perseverance, just made-up ones.

Looks like its headed that way, yep. Damn shame since you know... I'm sure there's an actual Sikh or I don't know, five of them who single-handedly killed a bunch of Japanese by stabbing them with his shattered ulna after getting his hand and other arm blown off.

If you cannot do World War 2 justice, don't bother. It's getting old at this point. Wolfenstein got away with it because it was alternative history.

I'm not sure why Activision looked at the steaming pile that was Battlefield V and thought, "Wow, we really need to do that!". Not the runaway success before it that was BF1, but the other one that everybody hated for its obnoxious revisionist history...
Like, is it a dick-measuring contest? Are they testing the waters to say their brand name is so powerful that they can get away with the same tripe that EA pulled? I mean, they probably can since CoD players certainly don't play for authenticity, but I'd hope there's a limit somewhere.

This is something that irks me. You have their story and you have the stories of the Indian Army under British command fighting valiantly in Africa and stymying the Jap invasion of their country in 1944. Hell, if you really want to go out there and tell a story of oppression, why not those of the Chinese under Japanese occupation or the numerous ethnic minorities in the Soviet Union that ran straight into the arms of the Wehrmacht and joined up with it once it came barreling through. Activision or one of these big AAA developers can't pull from those events? Instead we have to go back to fucking Stalingrad and Normandy and all the while making up stories of oppression. Call of Duty: Finest Hour handled the story of black tankers better in 2003 than these half-wits could ever do now.

I'm surprised we haven't seen anything set during the Rape of Nanking or involving Unit 731 yet.
The Chinese government would probably be ecstatic that western media would be spreading awareness on the often overlooked war crimes.

If I had to guess, Sledgehammer probably came up with all this shit and before they could stop it they were stuck with this. There were rumors like 6-8 months ago that Activision was seriously considering not releasing it this year. Then there were rumors of them rushing out the new Modern Warfare. Etc. Etc.
While I typically laugh at theserumors, I can believe there were probably talks like this. It isn't like they could get Treyarch to bail Sledgehammer out AGAIN. There was no way they were taking IW away from the next Modern Warfare, and there was no way they'd risk rushing the next Modern Warfare the way they did Cold War after how much everything put them through the wringer for it.
And for some reason, Activision simply cannot let an entire year go without a new CoD entry even though it seems like they're making plenty of money off Warzone.

You don't remember that old, old interview with Kotick where he said he would, and I quote to the best of my recollection, "exploit their properties on an annual to near-annual basis"? That's the same interview where he boasted about bringing in Proctor and Gamble execs to suck the fun out of making games.
