@fragnsteinThey complained about everything!
Women
Minorities
Vests
Lack of vests
Lack of beards
Hair
Lack of hair
Prosthetic arms (wish I got on of those for Helga!)
Steampunk
Kratos
You name it, some one whinged about it (note: the above list is by no means, exhaustive).
Full and free customisation will be whinged about because every aspect will upset someone's 'immersion'.

Immersion is just a silly thing to whine about. Mainly because they aren't whining about med crates/ammo boxes, being shot and just shrugging it off, or any other numerous game mechanics. Nope, they complain because of some silly skins are ruining their immersive experience.
As much as i have complained about BFV, i have to admit, that they completely nailed the character system combined with classes there. That was perfectly fine (except for the clown skins like Ilse), but they were probably too smart, to just implented that.
@Trokey66The issue is that DICE once again sold BS. They said it was an authentic World War II experience and then proceeded to provide SJW cyborg women with a cricket bat as standard frontline fighters. They also took what was a completely male team that took out a Nazi heavy water plant and made it a mom/daughter superhero event. Had they sold the game accurately (go figure...history repeating itself), they would have caught less crap. But instead of doing that, they told people it's super real and if the customer doesn't like it, don't buy it.
I would venture to say that over 95% of DICE's problems are of their own making.

@-DFA-ThumpOh I forgot that whinge.....
Video games MUST be 100% historically accurate.
Shall we ignore the fact that where maps depicted a historical battle, the side that in reality, lost could actually win?
There is a difference between 'authentic' and 'accurate', you might want to look that up.
@Trokey66The way they presented it...yes, it needed to be that way. Do all video games HAVE to be historically accurate, no. But when they tout that it will be the most authentic (read: Marketing made it sound as if it was going to be along the lines of OG CoD where you stormed normandy's beaches), they have an obligation to live up to that standard. But in good DICE/EA fashion, they went for the trend chase. There is also nothing authentic about one armed prosthetic wearing women on the front lines in WW2. There is also nothing authentic about two people being able to take down an entire Nazi facility in the dead of winter.
Again, it has to do with EA/DICE misleading their customers. It was supposed to be the return of the BF1942 days (just like 2042 was supposed to be the return to the BF3/4 days) and it turns out it was the first iteration of trend chasing even if it meant going against the franchise's history (funnily enough).
@fragnsteinNot familiar with the issues that they created with revisionist history on that map. I followed what Soderlund told me to do, and didn't buy BFV.
Edit: Unregard, had some coffee and did some googling. yeah....that sounds about right. 180 degrees incorrect. But worry not, it is authentic because there was an island and some water somewhere.
