The SS

[Seeme]

I agree, Red_Stinger

[Saavedra]

ANYWAY


I think SS troops should have more bombastic names for aesthetics, like "Fatherland Volunteers" and similar, so they will be totally different to "Storm this" or "Assault that" which we already have. Also, there is a certain charm in giving extremely hardcore fanatics a funny name.

Again, that´s for the fanatics, if you wanted to show the professional, honor-bound side of the SS, I suppose a more formal name would be good.

I think relic didnt put "SS" on it becuase the laws of some countrys.

 I think including the SS would be a great idea. If there are some who would find this offensive then they can hust not play! In a time when porn is readily availible to kids, and real blood and guts are seen whenever they want on the internet. Are we realy going to worry about the SS being in a comp game? Many of my friends that i have turned on to COH and EF, have learned more about WWII history through this game than they ever would have on thier own. I still believe (diversity=more fun)! I think the ostheer should have an SS officer that gives bonuses to neerby units.

yes i agree that SS should be in ostheer,because waffen ss was a big part of EF fighting force,and the name shouldn't matter that much,as longer people recognize them as SS troops,like they could have camoulflage jackets like stormtroopers have,or SS marks in their helmets ( though that need pretty good graphics to see...

I don't see why

I think people just want SS in because it is the SS

Like people want a super heavy tank just because its a
super heavy tank


Or hey it might just be me thinking of the british commandos throwing their uniform at the ground as the first name of them had the shortening of SS
There is something wrong with the youth today, why are they seeking the bad and terrible to be shown all the while it just feels like its to be in solely for the reason ''well because''

[Seeme]

SS fanboys

Unlike with the stupid super heavy prototypes, it turns out the Waffen SS did participate in many important battles in World War II, and even feature in vCoH. So it is perfectly acceptable to include them in the mod.

All the modders would be doing is create them in a slightly more visually explicit way.

And they wanted to have the totenkopf (the skull) on their insignia, but they were not allowed to for PR reasons.

We are playing a game that deals with one of the MOST DEVASTATING WARS IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.

If I were a moralist prude like you, I would start with that.

What, the Napoleonic wars were different? Or The Roman campaign against almost the whole world? Or in the Middle ages, when childrens sent to war to free Jerusalem and so on. This war ain't different, just happened over within a 100 years before. War, war never changes sounds familiar?
What do you think, what happens in Iraq, or america not operating death camps? Don't be naive. Read some books. For me the ww2 is interesting becouse it developes a new warfare, just the first ww with the machine gun, or Napoleon, who used mass Artillery in his battles. And just the military ss interest me, I'm vomiting from the Gestapo and other the death-brigades, it includes the NKVD.

I believe this thread has outlived its usefulness. We've mad it clear that although SS units will be included we'll never name them as SS.

Cheers
