@OskooI_007 Boris is born Russian, but left Russia to become No-Pat. hmm..
I don't think removing the Grin Reaper skin is enough. DICE needs to finish what they started and remove all Russian references from the game.

Honestly it would make more sense to remove references to countries altogether since it's clearly neither US or Russian soldiers in the game.
Doing so would allow more creative freedom in what kind of vehicles they involve instead of having to stick with American and Russian armaments. Heck, I'd go as far as saying remove faction specific vehicles and creating more diversity between the options available. It would be a lot more lore and current event appropriate.

I fully agree with removing any and all references to russian military from the game in light of the ukraine conflict. Why should they be glorified in a digital format at all considering what is currently unfolding. Call it digital sanctions !

Thought this was a bug that the weekly mission wasn't appearing. Seems kind of pointless to remove it as it achieves absolutely nothing. EA if you want to do something then stop selling your games in Russia and stop providing game servers to Russian gamers. Yeah it's not the Russian peoples fault everything that's happening but sadly the only way to hurt Putin is to make life harder for the Russian people and take away access to western services.
I know that you won't do that though because your EA and all you care about is money so removing a skin that nobody cares about is about as far as you will go.
- ATFGunr4 years agoLegendThis is why we don’t have a scoreboard or chat between teams. The attempt to make a video game about war a safe space for players, seems a bit of a misnomer. Do we replace small arm sounds with a dev saying “pew pew”?
It’s also a spotlight on the confusion the developers have. Why do we have American and Russian teams to begin with? If it’s all no-pats, with countries non-existent, why do we have these two main teams and focus on their names, weapons, skins and vehicles? Personally I think it’s because the game was already planned and made before somebody decided it should go down the woke path and there was just no way to make all of the changes. China should have representation in the game as a significant world power as they have in past BF games. EU should also be a faction (looking at you BF2). American vs Russia was just lazy to begin with, and no-pats is the ultimate cop-out.

By that logic, the USA should be erased from every game because they have the worst track record of getting into others countries, blowing up things, shooting people and replacing governments.

Oh, good grief how about we just remove all factions from all games then?
We can all run around as amorphous, gender-neutral red and blue mannequins charging into battle aboard unicorns whilst firing dandelion fuzz from our rainbow-skinned crossbows.
This whole thing has been blown so far out of proportion its reaching peak lunacy at this point.

You mentioned removing factions and you have a point there.
They removed the plane skin but then players are still going into matches and playing as russian's anyway. !

@OskooI_007They shouldn’t have even removed it. It’s a skin, change the name of it which was primarily the reason of take down. “Friendly death”. This skin complements the Rao Jet skin made available before. I unlocked the skin but was locked out of it now. Really bug land hitting those who unlocked it is even more ridiculous and annoying.
