Actually estimates ran into the millions for American troops, and much much higher for the Japanese. Here's a fun fact for you: 500,000 Purple Heart medals were manufactured in anticipation of this invasion, we still have over 100,000 left today.
Try a Free-to-Play game, or a MOBA, those types attract the absolute worst people. CoH's community doesn't come close.
This is just unnecessary and would only divide the community along faction lines further. "Why doesn't the guy with "Guard" in his name get banned?", "Why is the guy denying Soviet genocide not banned too?", etc.
Hello there Mr. Someguy.
I used to play World of tanks, then dropped it as it is a Pay to win game. however I still play Dota 2. Both are free to play games,both have childish communities filled with trolls and insults but none of them are really serious.
Free to play communities are annoying, I know, but not revolting, never met a genuine neo-nazi or fascist there.
CoH franchise appeals to closeted neo-nazis, it gives them the opportunity to play as the german forces are realize their Third Reich fantasies. But by all means this does not mean that anyone who plays as ostheer is a neo-nazi, I play both factions myself. The Neo-nazi are a minority.
I remember reading a post reply by Noun in the official relic forums about the absence of chat lobby in CoH2. The decision was based on complaints by the German government, as some german chat channels were filled by Neo-Nazis wanting to clean germany from sub-human immigrants.
You can see the difference between a stupid dota 2 troll that spouts insults while feeding couriers to the other team and a brainwashed neo-nazi consumed by hate and ignorance. One is annoying yet harmless the other is a dangerous threat. That is what I mean by the community being the worst I've met in gaming.
Lastly, I think that the majority of CoH players are european. Most european countries have a legislation on nazism and hate speech and it is not tolerated to use SS tags or Nazi heraldry. There is however no legislation on stalinism or soviet purges. Simply put their is an undisputed consensus on the condemnation (legal & moral) on the Nazi holocaust, but not on the Stalinist purges as the latter did not affect western europe. Using Guard tag is not offensive, it can refer to anything from security guard to red army guard and anything in between.
However using an SS tag, the Death Head SS emblem, and so on is illegal and offensive in many countries.
Regards.
Edit: I still would want a reply from a moderator on my first inquiry before this thread is closed. I'm pretty upset by this thread.
Edit 2: If banning seems too harsh for some, players with SS or any nazi stuff should get a suspension and an obligation to change their user name/avatar to something less radically offensive.
