Sven_Q45 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 I think he means why not WW2 games from Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 10, 2009 Author Share Posted March 10, 2009 no i mean ww2 games from the Wehrmacht(German Army) perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Oh, there are a few, such as the RTS Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, there is a German Campaign, but for FPS, I'm sure there is one. There's definately several multiplayer games where you can be the Wehrmacht, or anyother sect of the German army, like Red Orchestra, Day of Defeat, and a few others that escape my mind. There is also the German campaign on nearly all the Battlefield: 1942 games. That's all I can think of that are close to what your saying..

Haggis Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 There's also two strategy games, Achtung Spitfire! and Over the Reich, which allow you to play as either an allied nation or as the Germans, although those two games deal exclusively with the air war.

Thrik Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Doesn't at least one of the Call of Duty games let you play as the German for a large portion of the game? Or was that the Russians (Even more under-represented!)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 hell no cod is to one sided to depict the Wehrmacht in a realistic way. Most of any WW2 fps developers knowledge doesn't go past American propaganda. Its just Nazi this and Nazi that. Too bad really. It would have been more interesting and a breath of fresh air to say the least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 11, 2009 Author Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thx for the titles haggis and commanderQ i be sure to check them out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sven_Q45 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Well @Nickelstein Hitler was a bad man. And it was terrible this time, so I think nobody want to play a rogue. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 I just wish they looked past that. To see that every soldier is the same. Tell me Sven, in Germany do they say anything about Wehrmacht? At all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well, now the army is no longer the Wehrmacht, it's Der Bundeswehr, people's army, or something like that, it's been that way since the fall of the Soviet Union and the end of the occupation. I'm sure that there are many people, myself included, who view the German army as people, and not mindless Nazi drones, though, I'm not justifying what happened, becuase there were still many who did follow Hitler willingly, sadly:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Actually, our queen's late husband, Prince Claus, was in the Wehrmacht, and he became one of the most popular members of the royal family. Personally speaking, I am sure many of the soldiers were just that - soldiers, not nazis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Yep, agreed, a huge number of the Third Reich's forces were just that, soldiers, many fought for the Fatherland, for eachother, for the people, but not for Hitler. Hitler was just the guy who ahd the reigns of power, and that is why we run into such generalizations... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Young man swept up by "glorious" propanganda I wish I could join the Bundeswehr Fallschirmjager. I could sing "Rot scheint die Sonne" aka Fallschirmjager lied all day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickelstein Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Most video games only focus on D-Day and few focus on anything else but that. If I ever make a video game it would be on the 1st Fallschirmjager Division aka "The Green Devils" and their combat jumps. Unfortunately NO video game companies have the guts to do this. Germans=Nazis that eat sasuage and say Sieg Heil at the end of every sentence;This is the generalization of Germany today and in WW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderQ Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Well, not entirely, as I said, Company of Heroes: Opposing Fronts, breaks down that generalization, the German army is not portrayed as bad guys in that game..it almost makes you want them to win, but I'm still glad they didn't, things had to go the way they went, otherwise, the world would've been a much darker place.

Nickelstein Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 Its good that they didn't win but i wish ppl would stop generalizing the Bundeswehr by comparing them to Nazis. Thats just so ignorant...But I want a German WW2 FPS dammit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scabb Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 There's a scene in Schindler's List where Ralph Fiennes snipes at "lazy" Jewish workers. Why not a game based on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 You might find this interesting, Nickelstein. Of course Kotaku got the Nazis and the Germans mixed up; not all Germans were Nazis, and not all Nazis were Germans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
