I hate this shit so much. Especially in a multiplayer military shooter. Who the fuck cares? It adds absolutely nothing to the game that classes didn't already do. It's just propaganda to humanize murderers.
I liked bf2142 because at least there was a little bit of materialism at play in their hypothetical future of cold war factions reunited. There was no in your face ideology it was just sensible that the old east vs west (and the unspoken implication that the conflict was again communist vs capitalist) divisions would reemerge in the face of a global crisis.
this is already stupid on the face of it, but what makes it ridiculous is that this is a 128-player game and there are 10 characters. there will be 12.8 of each guy in the match
Vikus lol. A white Afrikaans dude with military background. Yeah...

I like Planetside 2 because everyone is an identical clone fighting an endless war and there can be no backstory.
yeah but they added a ton of microtransaction bullshit and you can't even drive a tank without paying
Planetside 2 is not pay to win. All the purchasable items that you can't obtain by playing alone are cosmetic.
It does have some salty vets though.
Ladies love three things
1- Grappling hooks
2- Hearing about Infinite Jest
3- Being told not to wear makeup
This was fine back before they really made COD about operators. Like the OG and 2 you had a backstory because you followed a character throughout multiple battles. Finest Hour had you in Stalingrad playing through 3 different ones. 2 had the same perspectives in each campaign (minus a tank level). It made sense then.
Now it’s just more propaganda to trick kids into thinking they could be an Army of One and join the military. Highly skilled, killing whoever the “enemy” of the State is at that time, and defend peace and democracy.
The funny thing is that used to be the norm. Call of Duty characters used to have a lot of personality, much more than just military jarheads that grunt all the time.
Of course, that was the singleplayer campaign.
There's an Afrikaans one from South Africa as well called Vikus that's a sniper. 😬😬🥶
