Apparently DLC and White Man Are Considered As Profanity In Battlefield V

The profanity filter from the looks of it is in violation of Article 19 of UDHR (Universal Declaration of Human Rights), which was ironically created as a result of WWII.

[Petrovich]

Sad to see what's happening to this franchise, just a thought, isn't promoting an ideology through censorship one of the strategies of the small party who took over a country and eventually started WWII? :)

[T2X]

Actually, "censoring" hate speech and offensive material (Kind of because of MSRB and the fact that they have to) doesn't fall into the same category as the Nazis and their brand of "Censorship" if you get my meaning.

[Iberius]

Censoring games is only where it starts. Give it a decade or two and see how far the censoring has progressed.

That is the worry. If you give enough inches eventually it equals a mile and a hit to freedom of speech.

[Inzo]

Some day someone is going to have to point out these "Nazis" for me.

[Petrovich]

I get your point, however, the term "Hate Speech" is an overused or abused term by those who do not accept, agree, or listen to other people's opinion. It has become a defense mechanism which is based, more on feelings rather than logic. The "mute" option is there for a reason, you can either take the abuse, fight it or walk away, we always have a choice. A Profanity filter is somewhat a form of censorship which favors the ideology of those who implemented it, the words and phrases they decide to censor depends entirely on their level of tolerance and beliefs, Thus, if such feature is implemented upon a certain populace, it becomes a one-sided mechanism that will in one way or another suppress the rights of others, specifically the right to free speech, :)

[thorstein]

We live in weird, weird times. I hate censorship. That being said:

We have the left being accused of being Nazis. The left has groups known as AntiFascists (antifa) who physically clash with those waving Nazi flags and who identify themselves as Nazis...

Censorship is also censoring the truth. And the truth is:

Women fought in WWII. Get the eff over it. Every single ethnic group in the USA fought in WWII. Get the eff over it.

Censoring that by eliminating these groups from video games is the very tyranny that these people claim to be against.

Weird, weird times. No labels make any sense.

"Arbeit macht frei" / sarcastic irony for those who get it. No eli5 for anyone else.

[Bobafret]

Who get's to determine what "hate speech" is? Exactly, the ones censoring.

[Concertoine]

@Thorstein

1. Telling people they cant be fascists is fascism. Antifa will beat up one of their own for donning an American flag, that goes beyond antifascism.

2. No ones complaining about women and minorities being in the game. To put a woman on the cover and feature them so prominently in the marketing of the game is revisionist and innacurate though. Especially the disabled one with the prosthetic arm, thats just ridiculous.

3. BF1 actually featured women in a historical context on the Russian side and no one really cared. Because it had historical context and BF1 actually resembled a WW1 game visually.

To argue that certain groups are over represented is a reasonable and valid argument that EA responded to in a condescending and dismissive way. That move killed any hype for this game.

The rabbit hole will never end. There were black nazis in COD WW2 for crying out loud. At least the Wolfenstein devs understand the importance of still having a swaztika in a WW2 game.

[-Foxtrot]

@thorstein

"We have the left being accused of being Nazis"

I stopped right there...left being accused of being Nazi's? Really?

If anything the left call anyone who disagrees with them Nazi's, trolls and trump supporters.

[thorstein]

@Foxtrot: Of course you stopped there. People waving Nazi flags and calling themselves Nazis are Nazis. How can't you figure that out?

@Concertoine:
1) Who said they couldn't? I specifically said they call themselves Nazis. Nazis are fascists. Who in the proverbial EFF do you think we fought in WWII? They were fascists.

2) Putting women on the cover of a war they fought in is "revisionist." Revisionist is when movie and gaming companies made war movies and war video games with only white men in them. I don't think you understand the term. Disabled with prosthetic arm... it really is a video game and not a history lesson. Both of which you seemed to have missed out on.

3) When did I say it didn't? Please quote me.

So where was the hate for Activision/ Sledgehammer?

I have a history quiz for you:

1) Is taking down confederate statues that were erected 62 years after the civil war by the KKK erasing history?

2) Is Colin Kap (and other players kneeling during the national anthem) disrespectful of the armed forces, flag, and the USA? Is it a protest of racist police officers (note the modifier, not all police officers are racist) while simultaneously respecting the armed forces, flag and the USA, since that is what U.S. Army veteran Nate Boyer said Colin Kaepernick should do?

3) Which ethnicities in the USA did not fight in the World Wars? A) All fought B) Italians C) African Americans D) Chinese E) Japanese F) Native Americans G) Latinos H) Irish I)Czechs J) Polish K) Jews?

4) Opinion: Why are those opposed to representations of those who fought so astoundingly against that representation in a video game?

[Bigpappy]

Wow. I learn so much from these so-called “gamers”.
I had no idea Obama was so powerful. He must be the most powerful leader in US history.
This Ftank guy said Obama is a Nazi who had control over the media, governments (I guess this includes congress, the senate and the courts) and the corporate sector in order to control opponents. What is trump waiting on... he can’t allow himself to be out done by a Muslim from Kenya. Trump has majorities in the house senate and the court with non showing him any opposition. He should be way more powerful than Obama. Maybe he is. The true toothless tiger.

All of Trumps troubles are coming from people who are directly under his power: His lawyer ratted on him, Muller serves under him and sessions servers under him. The media is no trouble for Trump. They went after him for lying, sexual misconduct, ethnic prejudice.... and he still won the presidency running away.

[BuildTheWall]

In the U. S. the Democratic party, leftist media, Progressives, etc. control over 93% of all media sources, they Social Media, are against real immigration reform, if you have an opinion that differs from the progressive ideals the media, leftists & most Democrats the Democrats & media label them as racist, sexist, homophobes, Islamophobes, etc. This same left is giving illegal aliens priority over those here legally, compare MS-13 to normal teenagers, say that admitting to being proud of being straight makes you homophobic, admitting to being proud of being white is racist, if you say you are proud of being gay or black they consider you a hero, say that minorities cannot be racist.

[UltraNova]

Everyone is talking about anything else except the actual game. Everyone I speak too, everyone online. I truly believe that EA and Dice have effectively killed their biggest IP. I'm sad to say this but it looks BFV will be a major flop.

[1-pwnsause-1]

Women did fight in world war 2...depends on the women that you’re talking about though...i’ll Tell you one thing, the chick in the front cover of bfv didn’t fight during ww2.... if she was soviet or possibly Canadian then I’ll agree with you...

The army Air Force did have females serving in world war 2, they were support units called the wasps... they didn’t fight at all... they aided but not actually fought...

The problem isn’t that there’s women in the game...I’m all down for that..the problem is the historical context side of things.... sure it’s a game, but usually when it comes to ww2 games we tend to...respect history...

[william_cade]

I agree with T2X.

[Cobra951]

Who gets to determine what "hate speech" is, you?

[Rimeskeem]

I think people should be more worried about what the current administration is doing when it comes to censorship. EA has no actual power.

[Bobafret]

The current administration? I hope you are joking.

[Sophisticated_Chap]

I'm more concerned with the censoring that Google, Facebook and Twitter are engaged in. These three corporations have way too much power.

[bjjcna]

Conservatives are the censored right now fella.

[thorstein]

The amount of downvotes for such a comment is quite telling about how toxic N4G has become.

[thorstein]

@bjjcna

Newspeak. Look it up.

Or perhaps read about why the pres wants the justice department to launch an investigation into an Opinion/Editorial printed in the New York Times.

Censorship? You don't know what it is?

Conservatives, again, words you don't seem to understand. Breitbart and Alex Jones are NOT conservatives.

[Maddens Raiders]

"Conservatives are the censored right now fella."

Good. A bunch of goddamned nazis, haters, and bigots. Censor them all.

[Weeblordbad]

Listen if EA or Battlefield wants NO SPEECH in their titles it's up to them. The publisher or developer saying "This language IS acceptable, and this language ISN'T acceptable." Is NOT censorship. How on earth you simple people could possibly try to link publishers trying to keep racial slurs and homophobic language out of THEIR games to the formation and rise to power of the Nazi party sure is stupid. When EA burns down a shelter for LGBT people, and then blames it on Alt RIghters you'll have a point. Until that day though, secure your lips.

If the government were to tell you; You may only get your news from these sources, you may only read books from these authors or publishers, you may not communicate these terms or ideas anywhere. THAT'S censorship, the suppression of ideas and real control of information. Not EA and DICE making a profanity filter.

Oh I just read your other gem below.

You honestly think Dice blanking out slurs is Censorship and an attack on free speech? Proving once again you have zero idea what you're talking about. Free Speech does not extend to private things, like say a video game. Freedom of speech is the protection that the GOVERNMENT will not infringe on it, not whether EA or Ubisoft will let you be a simple, basic, plebeian who just resorts to slurs constantly.

But you know, the last bastion of freedom in the world was the ability to use racial and homophobic slurs on the internet. Without that it's like living in Moscow in 1981. Front all you want, you're just a useless Morty.

[Concertoine]

Well for the record, the filter in this game is broken and people have found all kinds of weird things you cant say like “is hit” (because the censor thinks its s***).

What people are criticizing is EA’s recusal to respond to legitimate criticisms about this game in a mature way. They’d rather smear everyone complaining as being something they aren’t. Look at the agrees and disagrees here, do you really think the majority of people on this article are what EA paints them as? I sure dont.

No one hear is arguing that EA is breaking a law, they just arent happy with the PC bs that they’re choosing to proliferate instead of making a good game. People here understand the best way to protest is to not buy and thats what youre seeing.

[Gh05t]

"white man" and "DLC" are racial or homophobic slurs now?
To think that you believe we are simple minded... I pitty you.

The article isn't about legitimate slurs that people find offensive it's about all the other crap that was added that ARENT hate, racist, sexist, homophobic. Please tell me how DLC could be taken badly by a person?

You seem to have missed the whole point.

[Bimkoblerutso]

@Concertoine

There's just something so ironic about this particular instance being considered "un-PC."

Like, I can understand making the case that this game doesn't necessarily need to be historically accurate, but to try and champion the decision as some kind of grand statement on diversity and political correctness almost feels revisionist in nature.

These times are just absolutely insane. It used to be hyperbole to call the PC culture insane, but when all logic and reason is literally tossed to the side in favor of fantasy...that is literally what it is: insanity.

[william_cade]

Weeblord has the strongest argument.

[frostypants]

I'm more worried about our president saying he wants to censor our media for calling him out, but sure, a video game company doing this is mildly annoying.

[bow2yoda]

for the first time ever ea is standing up against a cancerous community... yall complaining about censorship are the ones that all of us end up having to mute!

[yarbie1000]

As someone who loves the Battlefield franchise, the game has lost everything that was special about it. Beta acts like a bigger CoD map, hardly any vehicles. Catering to SJWs with censorship and adding retarded add ons like prosthetic arms. It will be the first BF I won't be buying. I can't support them destroying the franchise

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

I am black and didn’t appreciate the forced diversity I present in Battlefield V’s beta. I found it stupid if not offensive to depict non-whites and women fighting in front-lin battles that they weren’t allowed to fight in. Not to mention why was I reviving Asian women and black men on the German Team in the middle of Europe! Everything about the game seems off. Kills times are way to low, the progression system will punish new players and favour people with more play time.

[medman]

Yes, of course...feign outrage at this, meanwhile have no issue with the depiction of a white Jesus in western Christianity, even though the vast preponderance of biblical historians believe Jesus looked a lot more like Nelson Mandela or Osama Bin Laden than the visage portrayed in the western world. Typical.

Maybe spend less time worrying about videogame battles, and more about real world battles.

[thorstein]

History can't be erased.

Women fought in WWII.

As did 1 of every 20 African Americans. (the rest worked at home to support the war effort.) As did many other ethnic groups.

It isn't the SJW agenda to include the groups that were whitewashed out of history.

It's just called accuracy.

[dillydadally]

@medman this is not only weirdly random, but also completely inaccurate. Jesus was a Jew and pretty much every historian I've seen agrees he probably looked similar to other Jews of the day. When was the last time you saw someone of Jewish descent that looked like Nelson Mandela?

[thorstein]

@Dilly

We are arguing with people who think ancient Egypt was filled with Europeans.

These people don't value evidence. So... what evidence can we provide that would convince them?

[Sayai jin]

Sciurius, I'm black and I don't understand being offended by a game. I don't get offended by modern war games depicting the vast majority of white males on the battlefield; and I am a retired SF vet that actually deployed, fought, patroled, etc on this battlefield/regions. Blacks and Hispanics make up around 38% of the US military not to include other non whites, but most games don't depict that. Which is not accurate, but people are now offended that white males aren't being historically displayed in a video game. Not to mention the lopsided underrepresention in tv, movies, etc. Even religious and historical accounts have been whitewashed.

It's a game and has never been completly historically accurate through timelines, weapons, etc. Plus no reviving on the battlefield. One shot, IED blast, etc and you're done.

[Gh05t]

@medman

Since when is having a contrary opinion considered outrage.

JFC what is it with people like you!

FYI ^ is outrage.

[medman]

@dillydadally
Wrong. You, like most people who have been sold lies your entire life, need to do some research. Jesus was Jew, but if your only knowledge of Jews is based on modern day Israel and that limited population, you're doomed to be perpetually confused....the world is bigger than that. Here's just a little taste...

[T2X]

Just wanted to point out that if you "Enjoy the franchise" why would you not buy this one because of a perception that they're catering to SJW and have some add on like a prosthetic limb. Which btw, they just came out and said they were going to "tone down" the more wacky customization options. I love the game personally and aside from the regular hiccups that are always there when a new BF launches, I find it to be better that BF1 personally.

[yarbie1000]

I see you read half of my post but ignored the other half.

[Gh05t]

"principles"

[sprinterboy]

I still don't understand why people don't revive you, so many squad members just walking/running past you?

[-Foxtrot]

Jesus Christ are they literally trying to kill this franchise...what the hell happened to DICE

You mention a dozen of complaints with the first reveal, it turns into "bu bu but you're being sexist just because there's a woman in it".

Now they do this and you can believe it'll end up something like "bu bu but you typical white men whining about something so small, I think you are being racist". Stupid I know but you know how it is, it will happen.

[Petrovich]

From the way things are going at EA DICE, as much as I want it, I'm glad they're not working on a Bad Company sequel, or are they?

[Sophisticated_Chap]

True, we don't want it to get caught up in all of this nonsense.

[EazyC]

According to the guy who accurately leaked BF1 and BF V (AlmightyDaq), DICE LA is working on Bad Company 3 for next year. Personally I think I'm going to wait for that

[Iberius]

What happened to DICE? Their minds became so "open" their brain fell out.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

Well look at what Dice/EA has done to damage their franchise in just a few months

1. The reveal of BFV includes the following: historically inaccurate depictions of women in WWII and forced diversity. There is also what could be considered cultural appropriation by having traditional Celtic War Paints and Katanas as customization options in a historic setting. Mockery of disability by having Prosthetic arm as a customiziation option.
2. Calling people uneducated when they point out the historical inaccuracies of your game.
3. Tell people not to buy your game after they criticize the SJW aspects of BFV.
4. Copy aspects of Battlefront 2’s unbalanced progression system despite it being unliked by many.
5. The beta is all over the place. It feels unoptimized (at least on console)despite the game very obviously being heavily recycled from BF1. Also several aspects of BF V just “feel off”.
6. Continue with SJW narrative despite the fact that earlier mentioned group isn’t going to buy or support your game. BF fans and gamers are the individuals that support the Battlefield series. SJW just love to complain to validate themselves and increase their personal significance.

[Weeblordbad]

@Sciurus_vulgaris
Battlefield has never been historically accurate, if it was things like Project Reality or Forgotten Hope wouldn't have been a thing. Hell even the Vietnam mod for 1942 (Eve of Destruction) offered more vehicles, larger maps and more weapon variety than Battlefield Vietnam.

You guys are talking Authenticity in the series where Tunnel helicopters are a regular occurrence, running forward on wings kept you on them, you can jump from vehicle to vehicle in the air and everyone is trained and able to operate every vehicle on their own. Yeah....authentic, of course.

[dillydadally]

It's just weird to me that they're worried about a profanity filter when you can't even turn off the pretty heavy swearing in the multiplayer voice overs.

[Majin-vegeta]

The thing is bugged.It also blocks out spaghetti,Titanfall Dice stated they'reworking it so it's not so sensitive

[Inzo]

Blocks out the words White man but not Black man? Thats a little too specific dont you think?

[Gwiz]

I can't even believe they actually did that LMAO...

[-Foxtrot]

I don't know how they can hide behind that with "Oh...it was a bug"

If it blocked out everything from "Black Man" to "Asian Man" to then "White Man" fair enough but everything except "White Man"...come on, it's EA/DICE and after the recent controversies with this game it seems it was on purpose

Now it'll be a 180 where they'll go "Oh yeah it was a bug, we didn't mean it" when really it's because they were caught and it become a big thing they couldn't ignore which was making them look bad, again.

[Gh05t]

I have some land on the moon I would like to sell you.

[PapaBop]

Is "pay to win" or "P2W" considered profanity too?

[Kabaneri]

If they censored 'Titanfall' they must have censored 'Mass Effect Andromeda' too. I was not at all impressed with the beta, it feels shallow like Battlefield 1.

[GameBoyColor]

Exactly what I thought while playing. A hollow reskin of the battlefront games. Makes me sad cuz i loved 3 and 4 and played them for years

[BadElf]

Fug off EA

[Inzo]

EA... the company that cant help but take dump on itself.

[bluefox755]

Man, it never ceases to amaze me how out of touch publishers are (I'm hoping it's the publishers, and not the devs, but admittedly, I don't really know how these things play out on a corporate level).

[traumadisaster]

What's this talk about women in ww2 battles? I didn't follow it last game when I heard some talk of it, heading over to Google to see what women did in battles now. From the many decades of watching ww2 documentaries I've done, i don't seem to remember any footage of women in combat, but I clearly observed all men, come to think of it I watch lots of war documentaries from current to even still pics of 1800s and never seen one women much less a unit of them. I did read once of some ancient women in Germanic tribes fighting the Romans but it is got to be such miniscule percentages that actually fought in wars. Hell I don't think women started voting until 1920s? There was some women leaders that fought, I remember Boudica from was it the Celts?

[Sophisticated_Chap]

You'd be better off going to a library and reading an actual encyclopedia printed book from decades past. You can't trust info from a Google search or from Wikipedia, since their political bias is changing and erasing history with algorithms and direct editing of information.

[traumadisaster]

Right! I just caught a glimpse of an article that the school board was removing the word heroic from the battle at the Alamo

[Liqu1d]

Woman did fight in WW2, but no where near to extent EA wants people to think, and they certainly didn't fight with prosthetic limbs. Women mostly served in auxiliary roles.

[thorstein]

Russia had women snipers in WWI. Combat Aces (pilots) in WWII.

I am pretty sure the Tuskegee Airmen have been well, well documented despite their absence from every major WW2 movie, documentary and video game until very recently.

I sincerely doubt I have to convince you about the Harlem Hellfighters and their heroics in WWI if you are such a prominent student of the World Wars.

And since women fought in WWII, just not for the western powers of the USA and the UK, why don't you believe that the women of France should be included? Why not have them represented since they gave their lives for the ending of fascism?

And what about the women of Italy? Do their sacrifices not deserve recognition because they were part of the resistance? Or because they didn't fight on a defined battlefield? What is your thinking behind this? Why haven't you learned of them?

Do the women of Poland not get recognition for fighting against the advancing Germans in WWII?

The Yugoslavian women who fought and died. You claim they didn't at all? Or just that you didn't know about them?

And your information about the Soviet Union and women in combat roles also seems sparse.

Do you chalk this up to lack of information from your studies?

History is a funny thing. It can't be change it no matter how much hair is pulled out, nor how many tears are cried in consternation, nor how many teeth are gnashed at documented factual evidence.

[traumadisaster]

women played such a minuscule role in combat you shouldn’t act like it was widespread. Don’t belittle the effort of all the men who did the 9.999999%.

In addition, that statement can be said and taken on its own without qualifiers such as how others had ancillary roles.

[psuedo]

Your right, but blah blah blah. Here is a word you can appreciate that factually, historically, and accurately describe what EA, Riot Games, whoever else is doing. Tokenism

[thorstein]

"women played such a minuscule role in combat you shouldn’t act like it was widespread. Don’t belittle the effort of all the men who did the 9.999999%. "

First of all, to call the ultimate sacrifice miniscule is incredibly condescending.

Second, men did far, far more than 10% as you claim. You have only had a smattering of history. If that is a typo and you are claiming that women only fought in .000001% of the war, then that is disingenuous and indicative that you have much to learn.

Women have fought throughout the history of the human species.

[Hanilugtehul]

I read some off your comments and you sir have got a toxic attitude:( n4g is a gaming site go preach somewhere else. Your rants a boring you are not the only one who has read a history book, so please get down from your high horse and go play some games. Peace.

[sher123win123]

male feminist are the worst, go suck your grandma's tits soy boy hahahaha!!!

[Imalwaysright]

Funny. I knew it despite not watching many WW2 documentaries. I also know that the soviets were the ones that truly defeated Nazi Germany despite american propaganda and it were the soviets that had women fighting in their army as snipers and aces. Many of them were tortured, wounded and died so that you and I could have a better future so even if there weren't many of them, they deserve as much respect and to be remembered as any man that fought in that war.

[Akarogg]

You are poorly informed. Tens of thousands of women served in the Soviet Military as combatants during WW2. There were resistance fighters that were women. The Japanese also used women fighters at Saipan and Okinawa, mostly in suicide roles armed with spears and dynamite However, no women combatants served in the allied military on the front that I know of. 99% of the time though, combatants were men

[milohighclub]

So DLC is hate speech?

[NickAwesome]

What a world where we live in, since when is the word white man offensive? when the fans want a game that feel authentic for the ww2 era they are called "uneducated", i'm not angry at them anymore i am just deeply disappointed

[KwokXi]

I cannot and will not buy a single EA game ever again. I can't believe how obtuse and backwards they have consistently been over the past few years. This is like a bad joke.

[frayed]

Really enjoyed the beta. It's got some rough edges, sure, but I think making it feel more hardcore (less health, ammo, more deadly weapons) is the right call in a world where Battle Royale and survival games are so popular. It's not as accessible anymore, perhaps, but ultimately it feels more competitive, more tactical, and more skill based. Squad play does feel more important to success.

But yeah, not having the BR upfront is going to give it tougher competition. However, frankly if it launched with BR there's a chance people wouldn't play any of its other modes. Frankly, this could well happen with COD, if its BR is good. The worry is that all other modes will fade away as it won't be worth spending time developing them - at least DICE is innovating and updating its core gameplay to try and offer something alternative. I guess we'll see.

And the cosmetic stuff has absolutely no effect on gameplay, and is limited in the beta anyway. Don't worry xenophobes, you'll have tons of white men running around as soon as they allow people control ovet the customisation options. Chill out, it's just giving people the option to roleplay if they want. It's a game based on history. It's not intending to be historical record. There's tons and tons of fiction that stylises the WW2 era (zombies, alternate histories etc.) Tons of it. It's just artistic expression, and it's not like they're forcing anything on anyone - it's all optional. Sure, you can't control how other people customise their characters, but that's life, we can't control how the people around us look (thankfully).

[jznrpg]

The price they charge you for DLC that should be included with the game will be profane . But they can ban whatever they want in their game I could care less. Put what you want in your games or take out what you want , it’s their game. If I ever make a game I sure as hell won’t let anyone tel me what I can’t and can put in it or what I can consider profane or not or anything at all . I rarely would side with EA but it’s their damn game .

[deno]

Political correctness run amok in everything. The days of quality and truth are over. Liberal dark ages and historical revision are in.

[thorstein]

The only thing depressing on this site is the utter lack of education about the World Wars.

"Liberal Dark Ages"

Lulz. Conservatives would call the founding fathers and Jesus liberals FFS.

[deno]

I am actually a history buff and a Christian. Wanna try that again?

[Artemidorus]

I don't care what anyone says, the diversity crap has outed white males as some kind of villian or the example to use against something.

It's now got to the stage a video games are getting involved which means many millenials will be misinformed about history and factual events.

[thorstein]

Fill us in. What exactly will they be misinformed about?

[Artemidorus]

You have just been informed 'white men' are triggered words. Many white skin tones were in the war and it's insult to the dead who died for it.

You have women plastered all over the beta in menus and loading screens, many women didn't do combat roles but instead many other roles that helped the wars.

I'm all for change but it when we talk history it must be stated what really happens because people will play games and watch films and end up believing it rather than being educated correctly.

[jznrpg]

Video games aren’t meant to teach history , schools are supposed to do that. Video games are fantasy and even when based on true events it’s like the movies , they take liberties to throw crazy shit into it.

[Imalwaysright]

What? No! Kids don't need to go to school to get education! Just have them playing video games all day long! That's all the education they'll ever need!

[Artemidorus]

No but many don't pay attention and get the impression what they are playing is likely to be what might of happened.

[Chdadiesel]

Big maps and lots of vehicles are offensive to battlefield 5 too.

[Rangerman1208]

I would rather support Firewall Zero Hour over this game.

[AK91]

...............what?

[MAULxx]

Dice, Naughty Dog & others talking to their own customers like they are garbage has really bothered me. I no longer buy their games & instead buy games from those who know how to treat their fans & customers.

[N4G_allows_fake_news]

Not the first chat to censor "DLC" - it's because the "L" in lowercase can look like a "i" - and you can use it to spell something that sounds like a man's naughty bits when you read it out loud.

I imagine because of the buzz it has caused, they will patch it to allow that work in full uppercase.

What are people talking about DLC in chat for anyway? Do your job, solider! :D

[Tankbusta40]

who would get offended by someone calling them a DlC??? Are they also censoring the oldie but goody PEN15???

[N4G_allows_fake_news]

It’s more offensive than DLC ;)

[Sayai jin]

The selective outrage continues...

[Gwiz]

I liked your comment because you're very smart lol

[2pacalypsenow]

Leave it to EA to do this...

Looks like EA is taking another franchise down....

[Tankbusta40]

Man I hope this game bombs! DICE/EA are a joke!

[Profchaos]

Gameplay has lost the magic and is become very stale.

[GrimReaperGamer]

I'm so happy I get to add another game to my list that I WILL NOT BE BUYING.

As a straight white man I say FUCK EA, FUCK DICE and FUCK BATTLEFIELD.

[winter_hill]

Same here. As if I needed another reason to steer well clear of this piece of s#!t game.

Can you imagine that one of the directors left after receiving 20 million to stay?It's like they sabotaged this series and even got paid for it,EA IDK what the hell you people are doing over there.

If they own the server and they own the platform - they can do whatever they want - this game is not a public space, it's private so they could censor the word "green" if they want. This company even told people not to buy the game, if they don't like it. Anyone that buys this game is also the problem.

I for one wont be buying the new Battlefield or COD games...I will be too busy enjoying the immersion and intensity of playing Firewall Zero Hour on PSVR with the Aim controller...to anyone who might read this,if you happen to own a PSVR do yourself a favor and buy this game.if you don't already own the Aim controller pick that up too..this game gives you the feeling of playing paintball and/or airsoft..its basically Rainbow 6 Seige in VR and I truly feel sorry for anyone who misses out on this amazing game

It's ok to be white.
