Global age new general?

[Königsberg]

Hitler was a great leader and would have been on of the best in history had he not commited mass murder. He took Germany out of the worst depression they were ever in To a super power but greed got the best of him. He was an awful general but great generals and Great advances in technology gave hitter his edge. How ever he won't ever make it on the list do to the mass murder he commited

 

[leoelephant]

to be honest, I feel disgusted that when you say Hitler was still great if ignore his mass murder war crime. This idea is too sick for me to agree on any of your other statement. I will recommend you to read the history again, not just a big picture, but really read the thick history book with the details and background of how he grew up from the ww one and how his characteristics was shaped, and how he climbed to the top of the power throne.
But everyone has the right to express.

 

[Atinyfish1386]

I never said I liked it and your right the way he came to power is not the way any one should but the point that he was good for Germany at that time he was but he also led them to destruction as well

 

[USA Elite Will]

General Robert E. Lee or General George Washington

 

[USA Elite Will]

What about General Fidel Castro...

Personally I have nothing but hatred for Hitler and for what he did. But thats my peronal opinion about a real life character. And has nothing to do with what I feel about him as a game character. How many people here played Company of Heroes(One of the best and most award winning World War 2 game) and loved to sit inside a Panzer/Panther and bomb everyone/everything to pieces. So if I say I loved to play with the Wermacht division inside the game then I am Nazi or rascist?

When game developers design a game all they keep in mind is the fun involved inside that game and characters inside the game. Politicising it is the work of a certain group of people who have double standards. Players who play that game should keep their opinions centered around the in game plot and characters only. Our seasoned players/members shouldnt impost their remarks/opinions on other members based on their personal opinion on a real life character. Its a game and lets only talk about game characters, and how they can fit in.

She's more of an Easter Egg. She's the de facto mascot of this game. Giving her a general slot is more..... Representation of said mascot.

 

[Morality]

Hernan Cortez, Dwight Eisenhower, or General Tzo('s Chicken).

 

[Brand Marrow]

Glad to hear you don't "like" Hitler. Now as to the argument that this is just a game....

Would you be offended if they put one of the terrorists that just bombed the subway in Brussels in dominations?

If not - than you are a callous bugger.

If so, then why is it not offensive to put the murderer of millions in the game? Its "just history" because its 70 years ago? and involved the murder of people in our grandparents generations, including the grandparents of some players?

While its not "just history" if its two weeks ago?

 

[Brand Marrow]

Clearly that is not all that they keep in mind. Thus they may have you play Wehrmacht or sit in a Panzer, but they do not have the SS or Hitler. And yes, there are serious ethical issues, even in the choices people make about game characters. I do respect your opinion however and think you stated it well.

 

[john99]

Hey please, stop playing this war game and go play Cityville or Simcity. That will suit you.
Another thing is Alexander also killed millions innocents in Europe,middle East and Asia and so too our Event General Genghis Khan.Hope u never used Alexander and he should not be ur Hero.
So if u have problems with only Hitler than ur arguments are totally illogical.

 

[Ravenlord]

Why wouldn't Hitler - a self confessed hater of Jews and any other type of ''untermenschen'' that he came across either in politics or in war during his reign - be a good choice? I suppose you consider his genocidal mindset just ''playful exuberance'' on his part??

AND you're comparing him to fictional characters? Right .....

 

[Ravenlord]

Hitler was a great leader and would have been on of the best in history had he not commited mass murder. He took Germany out of the worst depression they were ever in To a super power but greed got the best of him. He was an awful general but great generals and Great advances in technology gave hitter his edge. How ever he won't ever make it on the list do to the mass murder he commited

Hitler as a great leader. Hmmm? I will concede that he did some good things for Germany when he first came to power but that was while he was still thinking as a politician. If, however, you consider his warmongering and bleeding the national treasury to bolster the German economy and breeding the Germans with desirable people from defeated countries and planning wholesale genocide and large-scale theft of lands/property and desire for world domination with his 1000yr Reich as being a great leader then yes, I guess he was a great leader. Right up there with those other loveable rascals: Joseph, Pol and Mao.

And if you think that it was simply greed that got the best of him you haven't read your history. You need to read, amongst others, Mein Kampf and you'll get an understanding of the quiet evil that lay in his mind. He wasn't greedy - he was unhinged.

Anyway, he wasn't a great general - he was an ''armchair'' general - and if his successes were the products of his great generals then why are you arguing for him to be a general ?!!

What about General Lee ???? .. oh wait that was a car

Personally I would like to see at least one general from each of the nations represented in the game. France has two .... even things out, spread the historical joy

I agree Germany needs a general... Or generals from the missing nations??

But it has to be Global, maybe a soviet one? Since the idea of nazi one is not popular... Lol. USA already have McArthur, won't be fair getting a second...

La France, is special lol... Can have 2

 

[Atinyfish1386]

Lots of hate for hitler out there!! I must say agree with both sides of this. Personally he was warmongering crazy greedy man. But he was part of history. Can't change the past but we can learn from any one!!

 

[Motaz Tarek]

Brand Marrow if u care so much about not adding a genocidal maniac why didn't we hear a word on adding Genghis khan who killed millions of muslims and innocent people of countries he occupied
looks like maniacs are those who kill people of ur own countries and give the title great empror to who kill millions of other peoples
anyway am not here to discuss the duailty of standards, am here to tell u that john is right, history doesn't lie, hisotry is facts.

I agree too, History is History. Unafortunately, he is so close to us and still relevant in politics, that we won't be able to speak objectively about him until centuries from now on...

I see him as all great leaders of History: Alexander, Caesar, Napoleon, etc: both monsters and but genius, able to raise their nations in difficult times.

Yes, Hitler lost the war, yes, he was a criminal-mass murderer, but be realistic, US guys, he is so far the one who has put you in a bigger trouble!! Still +70 years after, all your movies seem to be about him, and how you won the war... But you could have lost, or at least, have to deal in a cold war with Nazi's Germany:

To overcome Hitler, you have to make allies even with the communists!! Without the URSS, or with it neutral to Germany, or without Hitler's stupidity of invading Russia (A country History has proven to not be meant to be invaded...), would you have won the war??

You already have a lot of trouble just with Jap guys.

Admit it, without the URSS front, you would probably have not been able to deal with Hitler's Germany, so much that even so many years after, it keeps being your obsession...

So mass murderer or whatever to be called, I agree but so were too all the others leaders I have quoted, afront it, it's part of the history, stop changing and redefining the pasts in movie terms of just goods vs just bads... As in another Hollywood movie.

 

[Brand Marrow]

I actually think it is quite logical to make a distinction between a mass murderer from 70 years ago (living memory) vs. one from the distant past, 700 or more years ago. If my argument is so illogical and only suited to those who want to play Cityville, then why is it that there are no Hitler's in any popular war games or apps? Hmmmm, maybe I am not alone in feeling offended by the most horrific mass murderer in recent memory. My advice, get a clue, you are the ones living in a virtual reality where it's acceptable to glorify Hitler in a game or anywhere else. And what the heck do you mean by history doesn't lie, history is facts? Just because something is factual has no bearing on whether it is deeply offensive or whether it is appropriate game content (back to question of the Brussel's bombers which neither of you addressed).
