Pro-Nazi hate mail sent in protest of Sniper Elite V2 Hitler DLC

Sniper Elite V2 developer Rebellion surprised by the amount of hate mail from Hitler lovers after announcing "Kill Hitler" DLC.

chriski3334400d ago

What!? Hahaha that's funny. Oh wait its for real.......... yup still funny.

CarlitoBrigante4400d ago

I feel bad for Hitler to star in such a shitty game, I deserve to kill him in a better game.

RIPSKATEDESTROY4400d ago

i killed hitler in wolfenstein back in the day!

omi25p4400d ago

Sh*tty game? I think Sniper Elite V2 is brilliant.

Fylus4399d ago

@omi, speak for yourself.

Regent_of_the_Mask4400d ago

So people that hate the DLC are Hitler lovers now? Is that how they're trying to advertise their game?

MrBeatdown4400d ago

I'm guessing the number of looney Hitler lovers out there outnumber the Hitler-killing DLC haters.

SpartanGR4400d ago

Their families probably survived the holocaust...

AtomicGerbil4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

You have to he kidding me?

Hitler ordered the cold bloodied murder of millions, but it's a huge no-no for anybody to fictitiously kill him?

Just wow!

SnakeCQC4400d ago

lol people probably hate that its dlc and combines the bush administration and obama have killed over a million muslims in a illegal war in a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 if there was a game to kill one of them would there be hate mail death threats and a story on every conservative news channel? hell yes there would

AtomicGerbil4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

Yes, you are probably right, but I wouldn't be on that bandwagon if that's what you are implying.

h311rais3r4400d ago

Proof? No? Every war is illegal. Get over it.

Jobesy4400d ago

@ Erudito87, if you think that the US government is the shot callers in this "war on terror" you have a lot to learn. Believe it or not, but so called "world leaders" take their orders from people with more power.

humbleopinion4400d ago

Hitler is already dead and there's a pretty unanimous agreement that he was a tyrant, which is a bit different from a game set to kill people who are still alive which can be considered hate speech (although I'm pretty there are plenty of flash games where you can kill Obama or Bush).
There's actually nothing new about this as Wolfenstein 3D already let you kill Hitler about two decades ago. And games like Civilization let you kill Abe Lincoln and yet nobody protests against that as well...

Not to mention, the "illegal war" you mention also ended the tyranny regime of Saddam Hussein, who was himself responsible for killing millions of muslims. In fact, history proved again and again the best people at killing muslims are muslim tyrants themselves: Just check what's going on right now in Syria for a brief glimpse.

Hicken4400d ago

So what's a legal war, and how is it any different from an ILLEGAL war? I'd like an explanation for that, just for starters.

Secondly, pinning down the origins of 9/11 to just one country is silly; I imagine it would be rather easy to connect terrorist organizations in a dozen different countries together... if the governments in those countries would or were able to cooperate.

Third, what does a game about killing an already dead and generally accepted horrible person have to do with targeting a current world leader? The latter is dangerous, especially in an era where you have radical elements doing things like shooting at elementary schools and blowing up shopping centers.

Finally, as humbleopinion got mostly right, Muslims have killed more Muslims than anybody. You think all those Iraqi police officers that have been killed in shootings and bombings were Christians? Do Sunni and Shiite no longer share the same faith, cuz that would be news to me?

Your comment has nothing to do with anything, honestly. You just strung together a bunch of words to air out your grievances, with no provocation, and no relevance to the subject at hand. And to make matters worse, you're uninformed on the subject. I would advise you to go back again and pay attention to everything you thought you were looking at: there's more to be seen than what you WISH to be visible.

SnakeCQC4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

many people on here know little about history and the wests involvement in many unscrupulous activities through the years and would love to educate you all but perhaps another day atm i don't have the energy to argue with hordes of ignorant people

AtomicGerbil4400d ago

@Erudito87

Seriously, what is your problem? Most of us are well aware of atrocities conducted by "the west" , the subject of Hitler and the Nazis being part of them.

Are you ignorant enough to believe that it's only the "west" that is the problem? People in the Middle East were killing each other and whoever they could get their hands on when half of Europe were still living in caves

If you want truths, then get your head around this, every nation, race and religion at one time or another have been as bad as each other. I didn't choose to be born in the country or skin that I was and should not be tarred with the same brush as the history of that skin or nation.

Old and New: My Adventures in Sniper Elite V2

Jason was woefully unprepared for the slower-paced nature of Sniper Elite V2 — originally from the last-gen of consoles and now on practically everything (He played on his Switch). There’s no running and gunning, but there are certainly cool set pieces.

Six new games arrive via Backwards Compatibility on Xbox One – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "2017 was a great year for the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program with many of our favourite 360 games made playable on Xbox One. That said, there are still a ton of highly requested games yet to arrive in the program and with 2018 set to see even more added, it makes sense that the first of the years new additions are now being given the treatment. This past week has seen six new games made backwards compatible, but which ones are worth returning to once more?"

"Six new games arrive via Backwards Compatibility"
Does anyone not see the funny side to this statement? I do... lol

PassNextquestion2289d ago

There's actually 6 shown, there's 3 Magic the gathering games + 3 other games.

fxa52092289d ago

Indeed... hahaha... it should be six old games coming to backwards comparability....

Get an OG Xbox then. Let the Xbox One focus on new games please.

Yohshida2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

I have one and around 100 og games, but I want to use my Elite controller and games look horrible on my tv with the og. Also streaming is easy and I have all the new features. Let Gamers focus on playing what they want and stop hating

Death2289d ago

@Unreal,

Are you saying the backwards compatibility team should make a new game? It’s silly to see people making these comments since one does not affect the other. 6 more games are now playable on Xbox One. This is a good thing especially if you are one of the rare individuals that haven’t played every single game that has been released in the past.

yomfweeee2289d ago

@Death

Every penny they spend on this is a penny they could spend on new games. Microsoft doesn't have any open checkbook for the division to waste just because the company is worth billions.

chaos-emeralds2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

No point, Microsoft stripped the HD modes out of the original Xbox. The games look crap on it now. The backwards compatibility for them on Xbox one is very welcome. They look amazingly crisp.

PUBG2288d ago

I love backwards compatibility. Lately I've been playing through the Mass Effect Trilogy, and I've also been playing Burnout Paradise, which I love. I'm hoping that they make GRAW1 backwards compatible, since I never got to play the 360 version of the game, which was the only good version made. The PC and PS2 versions of GRAW1 sucked bad.

There are many younger gamers who have never experienced many of the older games from the last two generations, so it would be great for those people to experience some of the great games of the past. Personally, despite the graphics obviously not being as good a current gen games, I think the games from last gen were much better than what we've been getting this generation by far.

Don't get me wrong, there are some great games this gen, but there was just a lot more interesting things going on last gen. As an example, EA was actually making lots of great great games last gen, but this gen things have been disappointing with them to say the least.

NoPeace_Walker2288d ago (Edited 2288d ago )

Unreal..but does the OG Xbox play Ninja Gaiden Black at native 1080p on the XB1 or native 4k like on the X? 🤔

Let the man decides for himself just like Xbox fans don't go around and tell PS4 gamers to use their PS2 to play Shadow of Colossus instead of spending $40 on the 2nd HD remake on PS4.

Yohshida2286d ago

I just love that I only need 1 box to rule them all. Get the X and play the best versions of all xbox generations of games. Its a nobrainer why people like BC

Lime1232287d ago

Yup, even PS4 has more games from 6th generation.

Cherchez La Ghost2289d ago

Nope! I wish they did.. I'm waiting for Dante's Inferno, Castlevania 1 & Max Payne 3 to be BC one day.

TheOttomatic912288d ago

Ya me too, I just wish MS would add 4K support for other 360 BC games besides Halo 3, Mirrors Edge, Oblivion etc.

Zerobalance2289d ago (Edited 2289d ago )

I love the Sniper elite series & V2 is a great game & as I still have my 360 copy I'm good to go. Great news & it's free for me too.
