Didn't Battlestations or whatever let you play as nazis?

It could actually be interesting to play on the german side, just because it's never been done before. In modern warfare 2 we just shot down a bunch of civilians, so why not. it's not like games can mess us even more up.

I want a god damn Brothers in Arms: Ost Front.

Playing as a Wehrmacht recruit, shit would be so cash.

At best a Nazi who defects and gets caught and then sent to prison where you engineer an insurrection and fight your way to freedom all the while being hunted by your fellow Nazis and everyone else who hates Germans.

And there has to be a girl in there cause there's always a girl

Don't see why there isn't. It's not like every single nazi killed civilians and worked in a concentration camp. What about fighting on the Russian front or something?

>Implying playing as the glorious german master race would actually mess you up rather than enlighten you.

I wanna be a Nazi

There'd be no point to playing a campaign scenario as the Nazis. What would their objectives be? There never was a moment of relative equality on either side. Pre-Russian disaster, Nazi Germany is an ass-kicking machine that lost exactly 0 battles when they were actually giving a real effort. Post-Russian disaster their eventual fail was inevitable.

If the point of the game isn't "hey, look at this, good beats evil, hooray!" there's no point to making a game of it. WW2 is completely played out and overdramatized as is.

All Quiet on the Western Front: The FPS

There's been plenty of games where you 'lose' or die at the end. A game can be made with you as a Nazi that survives till the end of the war and gets executed or something.

The way I see it, there are three ways they could go about doing it.

A regular shootan like CoD but you start every mission with a kar98k or a MP40.

A shootan with a story where you play a nazi soldier, Wehrmacht or SS recruit that feels bad about the horrors his leader is causing.

A shootan with a story where you play a nazi soldier, Wehrmacht or SS recruit that fucking loves gassing those goddamned Jew scum!

>>42126067

Tell that to the 2nd Ranger Btn. They got fucking destroyed after the Normandy Landing.

>>42126067
>There'd be no point to playing a campaign scenario as the Nazis. What would their objectives be?
Are you fucking retarded?

>>42126067

Also being an Allies in WW2 game is played out, not Axis.

>>42126156
Mp40 and kar98k were like the only weapons I used all through CoD2.

The second idea I think could work. I don't think a game has ever illustrated the whole "war is bad" thing.

Maybe it wouldn't sell as well, no idea. You can be pretty sure that various developers have thought about it but they decided not to do it.

>>42126156
I'm going for number 3.

There was a Nazi campain in CoH, but the plot
was written so your efforts are dictated by a leader who isnt concerned about Hitlers agenda.

thats about as close as you're going to get.

>>42126171
Alright smart guy. Draw me up a campaign scenario with multiple objectives that is both historically accurate and not "LOL WERE GONNA TAKE OVER RUSSIA TO THE URALS!" and interesting.

Ready, GO

>>42126282

Most likely why it has never happened. Only 'indie' games you can download for free off the net have done the 'bad' sides of things.

Next time the russians start acting like dickheads theres an oportunity to play as a WW2 GERMAN SOLDIER (not nazi) on the russian front. No one ould complain as long as your just shooting russians.

RTS games have handled German campaigns well.

>>42126271
Yeah but on second thought, I don't think ideas 2 and 3 would really work if it was a carbon copy of CoD. Would need a lot of FPS cutscenes and more than just 'shoot your way through this level' bullshit.

I'd like one where you're one those practically-still-a-boy draftees for the SS near the end of the war, and then you die, and then it's sad. lol

>>42126316

If you're oblivious to the fact that the Germans in WW2 didn't have any objectives then you're a moron. Every side in every war has objectives that are different from the main point, i.e. 'take over Russia'

Rommel: The Game

>>42126448

I see what you did thar.

>>42126316
I can't remember the name of the battle, it was early on in the Eastern Front, and it's in my Fallschirmjager book over here.

The germans were to take over the russian positions in the forest. The positions were as follows:

Front line: An entire trench system with machine gun bunkers and mortar pits

Secondary: Sleeping quarters, additional trench system and mortar pits

Rear line: HQ, radio facilities.

The Germans completely sneak attacked at night, running in with flamethrowers at their disposal. Completely fucking killed every Russian in that forest within 10 minutes in their sleep.

Jews would ban it.

Durrrrr.

I really want IW to make this. It would be really interesting to see this boring war from the other side and more emotionally immersive, than any WW2 shootan out there.

it's kinda like the JFK reloaded game. Yes, it's fucking awesome, gives you a different perspective, and makes for an interesting game, but don't expect anyone to put a lot of money into a game that will cause a massive media supernova

>>42126316
I HAS MADE AN ART

>>42126489
lolwut? Don't they have sentries for this type of thing?

An axis campaign would be easy

First mission for each side: Invade a country
second mission: burn jews/batan death march/ whatever italians done during the war
last mission:Get fucked in the ass by allies, either dying or surrendering or running away. The japanese character you play as can run away into the jungle, only emerge 40 years later thinking the war is still going on.

>>42126362
Close combat 3 had a german campaign, even if you won every battle you would never get further than the outskirts of moscow and eventually end up in berlin and when you won your battle in berlin you would get a cute little B/W video with the fuhrer or some general (dont remember) handing you the ironcross while commending you for your bravery and your efforts for the 3rd reich. The whole video taking place in the ruins of berlin probably just hours before the russians overran the place.

It would be a fantastic idea, but I can understand why developers would be afraid to approach such material.

>>42126578

Germans are sneaky ninjas

>>42126578

It was very early on in the invasion, this unit was completely blindsided.

>>42126617
Wow that's just crazy

I was just discussing this! I WANT TO PLAY AS A NAZI AND KILL AMERIFAGS!

See that fag I shot in the dick?Yeah he was probably your grandfather.

My grandfather was a nazi
Great grandfather was an imperial german pilot

>>42126489

The nazi very style is too badass for developers.

>>42126698

Good for you?

>>42126035
>Implying you're part of the master race and not some mixed cunt who believes he's pure.

>>42126704
I don't know why I laughed so fucking hard.

It would be an interesting story if they tried to do something like show the indoctrination of a young man in their idealogy, his fighting, and eventual disillusionment and self-loathing at what he's perpetuated, since it probably wouldn't go down smooth if the character doesn't condemn what he did.

I can't see why we can't have nice things such as badass nazi shooter. And I'm russian, my grands were probably raped in the ass by germans, but I don't really care, all I want is variety of gaming perspectives.

>>42126786

He can be hardcore into Jew killing then right before he dies repent for his sins and it would be ok.

I mean people do that all the time and are forgiven, right.

German WW2 soldier does not = nazi

I think WaW 2 with a campaign that switches between German and russian would be great. Also to focus on the less documented parts of the war... inital blitzkrieg into France and then ominously recruited to the ostfront. You should also be allowed to take part in war crimes on both the russian and german sides. The third faction can be british/American hybrid special force OPERATOR objectives maybe?

Old people killing jews: the game

>>42126834
Even stronger if he hanged himself.

All in FPS mode.

>>42126507
Damn you ADL!

I'd love to have a mission where your unit is pinned down for 3 whole fucking days because one of these badasses is staring you down from the hill in front of you.

I'd like to play a Nazi game where it introduces your character as a Hitler Youth, but you start off the game as you're promoted to SS. It starts during the invasion of Russia

Pretty much it would be like Bioshock where you have moral decisions where you snap out of your Nazi conditioning where you decide to let your "perceived" enemies, jews, russians, etc go instead of being ruthless, or you can go the traditional path and kill all motherfuckers

If you did good, you play a hand in the staging of Hitler's death by catching the attention of a German Resistance Gruppe who starts giving you missions to overthrow the Nazi's

If you continually do evil/stay Nazi, you fight following the natural course of history and it ends with Hitler killing himself, wondering if that's how it really happened.

You're then hung for the attrocities (the evil deeds) you comitted during the course of the game.

>>42126698
I like how the Germans were all "We're gonna fight everyone!". Twice. Hopefully the lesson is learned.

>>42126785
>WERFS FLAMMEN

>>42126870

>Promoted to SS
>Hitler Youth only went to age 13.

>>42126845
>You should also be allowed to take part in war crimes on both the russian and german sides

Heyk, you were allowed to kill civilians in the airport. So why not.

>>42126921

I don't know THAT much about the Nazi's, explain lol

BUT YOU GET THE GIST OF WHAT IM TRYING TO SAY OR SOMETHING

>>42126889
>implying WWI was completely germany's fault

>>42126856
OOOHHH yeah ending button mash sequence, when you try to shoot you brain off with a shaking pistol would be godly.

>>42126889
fuck happens and shit hits the fan I moving to germany.
We're do for a win.

ok, updated picture with mission objectives

>>42126889
Third times the charm rite?

>>42126983
>shoot you brain off
>off

Last Japanese mission can be you as a gunner in a plane that's escorting kamikaze bombers, then the pilot goes FUCK THIS SHIT IM KAMIKAZEING TOO

>>42126889
Hey, they ALMOST succeeded.

Just building upon the greatest, like old boy Alex or the crazy mongol Khan.

>>42126889
>Austro-Hungary never existed.

>>42127017
only the french can lose more than tree times in a row. Besides look at Germany right now, all chumy and and friendly with other swine scum countries. You know they're up to something and you wouldn't expect it.
