Couldn't you play as NAZI's in the multiplayer mode of Wolfenstein? I never heard any backlash on that fact. Can't exactly remember if you could or not, even though that game was about the occult side of the Nazis(which they did believe in). It's an EA game and it prolly won't sell that well anyways, EA's pretty f'ing stupid regardless.

But you see Circus, people will just argue this away with the whole, "That was a long time ago" phrase. This is now, and obviously nobody is still alive from the days of WWII who could possibly be offended by playing as a Nazi soldier in a game.
Guarantee you. Sixty years from now people will be saying the exact same thing about this. Albeit in a less sarcastic tone. Maybe.

Just pointing out that my Grandfather fought in world war 2. He passed away last year and several of his WWII buddies are still alive.

Yeah, what about a sarcasm font?
It has to be in italics and maybe wavy?

I doubt anyone would be saying that same 60 years from now as they do the World War....Because this war we are fighting started because they attacked us, on our own soil...By crashing two airplanes into the world trade centers massacring thousands of innocent victims....almost like the holocaust as the Nazis were slaughtering jews during the holocaust...World War 2, we were fighting against Germany to help our the slaughtering against jews
IDK....someone correct me if I'm wrong.

We fought because some Japanese crashed some planes into our ships at Pearl Harbor.
We stayed out of the war for 2 years before that.
Edit:
Just for clarifications sake, I am very much oversimplifying the situation. We did assist Britain prior to our "official" entry into the war with Japan (Germany then declared war on us) and had several naval battles with Germany prior to Pearl Harbor. The point was to be a bit sarcastic and also point out that until we had been attacked directly the American public had no desire to join the war.
