Despite its historical inaccuracies. Lets all admit that the scene with the german fighters is just so majestic... the music in the background.... the picture of the pilot's wife and son . too often do we find ourselves in the allied perspective.. and Dice gives us the chance to defend Germany.
You really think anyone is going to agree with you even tho what you said is completely true? Apparently people get so offended when history isn't right that they forget everything else
It’s both upsettingly frustrating and excitingly necessary that people are so affected by perspective when it comes to storytelling. On the one hand, it’s incredible that we even have the capacity to emotionally resonate with narratives about very real and very made up events alike (the most gritty and raw documentary, the most far fetched and fantastical sci fi), but that all requires some kind of perspective of author, even if it’s as big as “I made up this incredible world” or as small as “I chose to point my camera this way”. Finding a truthfulness of humanity within that is ultimately the core, but the message gets muddled if it starts to feel like the real grounding behind it (in the case of historical reference) starts getting ignored. In many ways, I understand people’s immediate frustration with historical inaccuracies, because those are too often the bits that are most noticeable. But it’s difficult to say that ANY form of this kind of storytelling is 100% accurate (history written by the victors and all that). Much of that other perspective is often unnoticed, and people dont take issue with it as a result. There’s always a slant of perspective, especially in the case of adapting hellish, world shattering events into forms of entertainment, like video games. But I never want us to lose the drive to find honesty and lessons in adapting historical truths to reach artistic truths. Sometimes that creates a piece of art that is even more truthful than base verisimilitude. When it works best though, it draws from unique perspectives you otherwise might not have considered, especially if you get locked into seeing an event only one way. I whole heartedly agree that a peek into the other side is a valid story to tell, and can have great impact when handled correctly
No matter how hard game developers try to make ww2 without mentioning nazis , I’ll never be able to look past it. The nazis were the main enemies of the war , and it just looks silly having Germans without swastikas. I understand some countries ban that symbol, but I feel like banning something does no good.
You do realize that these aren’t Nazi’s, they’re Wehrmacht who even hate the Nazi’s but they have to serve their country. The real and fanatical Nazi’s are the Waffen SS.
Fulcrum 67 I understand that bud you’re incorrect when you say the Wehrmacht hated the nazis because many Nazi members were in the Wehrmacht. The swastika was the symbol of Nazi Germany and they plastered it on uniforms, vehicles, flags, etc. it’s not an accurate representation of what the German military looked like, it’s the furthest thing from immersive. Revisionist history will lead to nothing good.
Ordinary_ Gamer The iron cross of the Wehrmacht was a symbol of their army , but they still used the swastika on their equipment. Why is it hard to accept that the Germans were NAZIS. The Hammer and sickle can be viewed as equally vile, but I guarantee it will be plastered all over this game lol. What a joke.
Ordinary_ Gamer Sorry to burst your bubble but towards the end of the war lots of Germans were in POW camps, and the Germans left fighting were still nazis lol. The Russians raped and pillaged there way to Berlin in retaliation of the failed German invasion. The Americans and the allies fought from the other front. The Wehrmacht and SS divisions fought in cohesion, I don’t know what school has been teaching you but the Germans were never fighting for good in ww2 lol. Ask Poland and the surrounding nations how nice the Wehrmacht were. It was all about conquest and world domination for the Germans .
Fulcrum 67 No, there were a lot of Nazis in the Wehrmacht. If you’re looking for a group that have been at odds with the Nazis, that would be the Luftwaffe.
Ras Putin they did, but even the war between China and Japan that happened from 1936-1943 was not considered part of WW2, as that war was not connected to world war 2 until Pearl Harbor.

The opening to Narvik at 2:35 is so beautiful, it gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. The sad tone and the music, combined with the muffled artillery fire and the altered tone of the air-raid siren to harmonise with the music, just works so well. My favourite kind of video game music...

To summarize: In 1940 a British commando (not a Paratrooper, since they weren't operative until late 1941) jumps from an american Dc3 Dakota into Narvik, Norway, wearing an uniform that was designed in 1943 for American Paras, and handing a gun from the future (the Sten is a 1942 design). He is met by loads of evil Germans with only MP40s (they weren't so commonly spread among infantry units) who still go down like flies, and then is killed by a Tiger 1 Ausf E on a wooden bridge. The same tank, a Tiger 1 which saw battle for the first time at Kursk, 1943, and on the Kasserine pass, still 1943, is then shown trying to breack the defensive perimeter over the hills of Tobruk (which is actually not only on the coast of Lybia, but even on a quite flat surface) and facing some Shermans including a 1944 Calliope. Not just that, but the Germans are so politically correct they decided to change the swastika they had on the flag with an Iron cross... which would be fine, if only I was sure it's actual historical research and not just censorship at his worst. Then we're projected to Kasserine pass, 1943, where a French sniper (what?) is shot by a Messerschmit Bf109 passing by randomly, just because. A similar aircraft is shown to be fighting over the Rhur, or wherever that is, in 1944. Shooting down what for sure are British airplanes, as they seem to be Bristol Blenheims. Over Germany, in full daylight. Not even close to reality, since Brits made their raids almost always at night with heavier bombers, and were the Americans who preferred daylight attacks. Also, a Spitfire MkV wouldn't be able to escort the bombers so far without auxiliary fuel tanks. Actually, not even the bombers would have probably reach so far depending on both the base from which they left and the target. That without even considering the fact that both the Me 109 and the Spitfire seem to have unlimited ammo. But that's a common cliche, fine. This is NOT the kind of historical accuracy I expect from a title like Battlefield. Even Call of Duty managed to get it more right on quite a few things! (and this is definitively saying something)
Giovanni Galassi you are my hero for this comment. I honestly don't understand what they were thinking when they made this game. All the normies who say "who cares about history" can go back to playing fortnite. This game had potential and dice completely blew it.
I was going to reply saying how nice it is to see complaints about 'historical accuracy' without any political carp but then you go and imply that Bf has ever been historically accurate and worse that it was more so than CoD
Never did DICE said they where gonna make a game like Post Scriptum (A very realistic ww2 shooter). I like how you guys pick out the tiny things to complain about. Can't you just buy or don't buy the game. Don't sit here being all butthurt because a very tiny detail is missing. I also like how you say that the Spitfire MkV wouldn't be able to escort those bombers that far. If you complain about that detail. Why don't complain about all the flight physics that are not accurate at all. why don't you go complain about every single Dice game because you don't have anything better to do. Fucking hate people like you!
Nah I think it’s a reupload Video from DICE channel. So it must’ve been some guy from DICE they play it slow to admire the graphics and gameplay mechanics. And yes it’s still a shit gameplay and everyone can do it 10x better but more slow and cinematic.
Well that is funny it’s not totally inaccurate because the trajectory of the bullet when come into contact with something will send it flying if not glued down or attached, what I’m saying is they are probably not wearing straps on their helmet, watch videos of people shooting a bricks or helmets, you’ll understand
That song at the end, I Vow to Thee my County, was played at my grandfathers funeral almost a decade ago. He served in WW2 as a paratrooper. He landed and fought in Arnhem on the first day and his brother landed with the with Polish a few days later but was killed in the fighting there. Put a lump in my throat and almost put tears in my eyes listening to this song.
I hope you can relay my thanks to your grandfather and his brother for their service. I found this song touching as well, even as an American. God Bless our allies and friends in the UK.

I'm gonna be a douchebag, but 6:42 - Caliope Sherman firing at the Tiger (in Tobruk, 1941) ... the Caliope wasn't developed until 1943, made and used in 1944-1945? Did they consult any historians at all for this project? Can I just be hired and fix their historical inaccuracies like ... for eight euros an hour?
Hate the fact you can see the tank shells lobbing through the air also.. Just ridiculous.. Also the tigers turret was traversing like and abrams hahaha
It's not supposed to be accurate. It's just mindless blockbuster high-action trash for kids. Historic war games aren't what they used to be, they used to be like documentaries but now are completely fictional as you can obviously tell in this video.
Kudos to DICE for listening and changing the game. This is 1000x better than the first trailer. Still rude to call your customers uneducated and for that I'll wait for an apology.

Still salty over the fact their basing the Norwegian story about crippling the German's nuclear program, which was done by 5 Male commandos is being represented by a single woman. They could have easily done a story women in a soviet or french/Dutch resistance story line.
@Art Of Your Mom That's not an exaggeration, my dear. Look up the numbers; over 80% of German war casualties happened in the Eastern Front and over 70% of tanks, armoured cars, planes were lost there as well. It's simply mind boggling that they chose to forget it. Netherlands and Norway were both places where Allied operations failed, I don't even know why they'd choose them - tell me which major battles were fought in those countries ...
@Art Of Your Mom You said my numbers were wrong but failed to provide anything to back such claim. Read it here, www.nytimes.com/2004/02/21/arts/a-job-for-rewrite-stalin-s-war.html or even statistical data, over 70% of german casualties and war materials were lost on the Eastern Front, that's a fact. Would you mind to tell me which major battles were fought in Norway ? Because as far as I'm aware, No Major Battle was *ever* fought in Norway. Moscow, Kursk, Stalingrad, Berlin, Battle of Britain, Battle of Bulge, Anzio, Iwo Jima - those were Major Battles, Norway ? C'mon.
Art Of Your Mom He is correct regarding the eastern front. That is where Germany lost the major part of its armed forces. Soviet suffered the most casualties in the entire war due to the German campaign, that leaves us with the fact that the resistance that defended Europe against the allies after D-Day were the scrubs left. Nevertheless, important operations took place on the western front. But it should never ever be compared with the slaughter in the east.
Kanissa Gaming supplying Russians ? Soviet Union did the dirty work and also they suppleyed themselves with unique production no matter what you say Soviet Union created victory from nowhere we owe them
You mention Land lease program, but we're talking about uniforms. Seriously, in which alternative universe is what you mean actual? Apart from the fact that yes, the British had Shermans, but slightly different from the American version (also known as M4A2) and just from early 1942, Land lease was never about uniforms and personal equipment. And for sure a British Commando (British Paratroopers weren't operative as an actual unit until late 1941) wouldn't have worn an American uniform in 1940. In Norway. Jumping from a Dc3 Dakota in the middle of Narvik. At night. To be shot by a goddam Tiger tank on a wooden bridge. I know this is not supposed to be historically accurate, but come on! It's just like having the U.s. Navy seals hunting Napoleon Bonaparte with bow and arrow!
@@adolphhitler1804 Yeah but it'd be respectful to do so since this is a game based around their war, and I'd think it'd give a history channel vibe that COD WAW gave with it explaining the strategy in between missions.
"My father asked me if I was truly ready to go to war. He told me that the good soldier kills without ever thinking of his enemy as a human being. In the moment he sees him as a fellow man he is no longer a good soldier. And I was a good soldier." I love this quote, it's amazing.

@@gebrelius7442 In 1940 the development of Tiger tanks wasn't complete yet and The first service was in 1942 so it's not possible to be appear in that time.
@@shxosho the Tiger designs were not field tested, they were designed based on knowledge gathered from the experience of lighter German tanks. The earlier prototypes of the years you are suggesting used completely different hulls as well as turrets from existing tanks. The much later prototypes nearing final design up until production did not see use in combat until later years when they were used to mount field guns becoming makeshift tank hunters. The lack of field testing of prototypes was the reason that they had so many teething problems intially.
@@shxosho Ignoring the alt-history you're spewing, your response in its every facet is highly ironic when you call them retarded, accuse them of saying "stupid shit", then call them morons while being written at a level I'd be ashamed to see a 12 year old write. But to address your account of the Tiger, it's all made up. All of it. The Tiger I itself, as was entered into service in 42, was largely a prototype rushed into production. The first Tigers to see combat were near Leningrad in September of 42. Not in 40, not in 41. QED
They most likely used a Tiger not for the accuracy but for the sake of it being a recognizable icon of WW2, and in order to appeal to those less knowledgeable of the battles and technology of ww2 Dice is using the Tiger as a way to draw new players in due to its "cool factor" though we all know that the panzer 4 was hardly in production at that point and the panzer 3 had just made its debut in larger numbers in North Africa and the beginning of operation barbarossa.(I do apologize for the grammar) does it entirely justify the inaccuracies? No I believe there are better ways to go about it but I'm unfortunately not the one making the product dice is.
Lol what dumbass test a prototype in battle? We all know tigers break down in battle and some of you with your 3rd grade knowledge think that a tank built in secret and presented in 1942 during Hitler's birthday existed in 1940? Remember the tiger was the German answer to the Russian T-34 which proved to be more effective than the German panzer 3 and 4
Admit it's not a bad opening. I like how the soldiers are all speaking their native languages instead of speaking English with an accent of their native language. That's definitely a plus Mark. However from what I can see there are a couple of historical inaccuracies. Now I'm not a certified World War historian. So if anyone knows anything else feel free to add it. But here are a couple of things that to my knowledge either didn't happen or something similar. First and foremost. To my knowledge the British did not conduct an Airborne assault on the Norwegian Port of narvik in 1940. Let alone with american-built c-47 SkyTrain aircraft. Not to mention from what I saw they were wearing American helmets. Mid War American helmets I might add. When the US first entered World War II they were still using Brody style helmets from World War 1. I also don't recall the Tiger tank being in service in 1940. Let alone built in 1940. Next we have kasserine pass. Now to my knowledge the French Senegalese didn't take part in the Battle of kasserine pass. If I recall correctly the French didn't take part in kasserine at all. The Battle of kasserine pass was one of the first battles that the United States fought against the Germans during World War II. So if anything we should have been playing as Americans rather than French. Next the Battle of tobruk. Now I really love that part. The fact that we finally got to play something or will get to play something from a German perspective in World War II no less. That's actually really cool. I still have my misgivings with the bastardized German flag but I'm willing to let that slide. I'm glad to see that they made it so that the tiger would basically be able to one shot the Sherman tanks towards the end of that sequence. Because well in reality it could actually do that. I found this part 2 probably be the most historically accurate although it's still not perfect. To my knowledge no King Tigers wood if I recall correctly was what we saw twiddling around on the left hand side of the screen most of the time we're actually in Africa at the time. I could be wrong but who knows. Also I think it would have been me if the tiger that we were driving in that mission was tiger 1-3-1. For those who don't know tiger 131 is the last functioning Tiger 1 in the world. And currently resides at the bovington tank Museum in England. Was also used in the film Fury. Next we have the aerial battle over Germany. To my knowledge the British wouldn't have had twin-engine bombers flying a daylight raid over Germany even if it was in 4445. Not unless they were flying out of bases located in France. But again this could be wrong on my part. To my knowledge the British focused almost exclusively on night bombing. While the Americans did daylight operations. So if anything the bombers we should have been targeting should have been American bombers. But like the sequence with the Tiger tank I really enjoyed the fact that we are finally getting to see things from the perspective of a German. Finally we have nijmegen Bridge. The Battle of nijmegen bridge is probably one of the most interesting sequences in my mind. now again to my knowledge I don't think Allied armor made it to the battle of nijmegen Bridge. But I could be wrong. I liked how the British soldiers were all wearing the characteristic red Berets of the 2nd parachute regiment. That was indeed something I liked. I also liked how at the end we were playing as a British paratrooper who was clearly wounded and we were given the essentially ability to do kind of a last stand with a 45 pistol. However the fact that a V-1 missile was used as essentially a tactical weapon is complete bubkes. The Germans never used the V1 in this method. The V1 and it's cousin the V2 we're all used to attack places like London and Antwerp. Overall it was a good prologue I definitely am interested however I don't think I'm going to get this game right out of the gate. I might just decide to wait until Christmas or something. But I'm not sure yet. Hell I might even just completely skip over this game. But again I'm not sure. However I think my favorite part of that opening was not so much the game play itself but the subtle link with Battlefield one specifically the image of the lone German Soldier and the lone black American Soldier pointing their weapons at one another. I really like that.
@@geramildavila600 Lol, No need to be polite about it, I know I'm the minority on this one. Once again, I'm just not a big fan of it, not saying it's a bad game. Definitely a lot of work was put into it.

British paratroops wearing american gear and jumping out of planes they didn't have, before british paratroops existed RPG type projectiles being fired, like, everywhere, by everyone. no one had rocket propelled grenades anything like those British Blenhiem light bombers flying in close formation, very high, very slow, in daylight and not maneuvering which is on all 5 counts the EXACT opposite of how they were used British Paratroops wearing american/german style trench coats using bren light machine guns as assault rifles and wearing red berets when they would have had helmets on and THEN infantry in africa wearing british paratroop helmets when they would have worn the standard infantry wide brim and THEN ARE YOU JOKING canoe commandos wearing the standard infantry brim helmet when they would have been wearing forage hats. Why does this game hate the right hats so much? I dont know if they deliberately did every single thing wrong just to annoy anyone with a basic knowledge of war. there is no need to get everything wrong. its fine to have a silly arcadey game and put people in the right damn hats and not use tanks that dont exist, or fast low level light bombers as high altitude heavy bombers or............ oh my god my brain just melted. spend £4 of your budget on historical advisers next time you global conglomerate muppets.

To all the people complaining about the historical inaccuracies, it's a game, this opening is meant to show the features of it, you're thinking like historical scholars, not game devs. The wide variety of hats show and clothes show the customisation. The Tigers in 1941, which btw is only a year from when they were actually used, shows the wide variety of vehicles to choose from. The opening is cinematic, not accurate. The devs are making an entertaining, cinematic game, not a fucking history documentary. Now, if you don't like the game cause of its historical inaccuracies, I don't care, no one needs to hear your whining. But this is a game, it's meant to be accurate to a certain extent, that it's recognisable and fun, which this game actually is. And to those complaining about the lack of the US/Russians/Japanese. I have 3 words. TIDES OF WAR,. Those fronts are coming with time, actually, research the game and its features before complaining about the lack of stuff in it.
and all Americans and french are black.... we need some more cultural diversity there as well. At least the Germans seem fine. Sad the Tiger was present in 1941. And where the hell are the robotics terminatrixes with bats and clubs? Hell I didn't see even Asian and Latinos .... cmooon

The music really needs something as bombastic as the Russian theme from World At War to make it really special. So far it seems generic with one or two good sections.
I like the spirit of this collection of scenes, and I like that they tried to make it a bit more sensible than it was, but by the same token the mistakes in the uniforms, weapons, tactics etc, that other commentators have already pointed out, are very blatant and hard to ignore. The most obvious one to me was the RAF bombing in daylight with light bombers into the bargain, but the Narvik dock was pretty bad too.
I'm not sure what it is but the gameplay doesn't really excite me. Maybe its just because they may have played it on the lowest difficulty to show the game but it feels so casual, just running around and firing with LMGs, and for some reason, it doesn't feel like a ww2 game. Theres no feeling that you might not make it. I think it's because the narration just reminds me of a Nike commercial or a motivational video about gratitude. When COD World at War came out they used real footage in their beginning and showed the Nazis rising to power, clips of their propaganda, the Japanese war footage, American GIs smoking them out with flamethrowers, and it really immersed you in it. Even though they used different regions of the conflict that we're not used to, im sure if they developed it better we could definitely feel more immersed. I keep waiting for the moment when I say yeah this feels like the deadliest conflict in human history but it just doesn't really explain that. And the music during the firefight sounds motivational when it should be dire and tense. 60 million people died in this conflict but the game intro came off as just a well-polished shooter in a foreign country. Like they softened the edges of world war 2.
I must admit, that DICE did really a good job for choosing what dialogues to say. "This war would prove from ocean bed to mountain top, the greatest killing machine is Man."
