History YMMV / CallOfDutyWWII

** The inclusion of women and black soldiers fighting for not just the Americans, but the ''Germans'' as well have upset a lot of people. Many say that this flies in the face of historical accuracy and ruins immersion badly (a frequent comparison is the dueling game of ''VideoGame/Battlefield1'', which also has black and female soldiers but justifies their appearance by only [[AluminiumChristmasTrees including them in the armies that had them]][[note]]bar the German army in Europe[[/note]] - albeit still in ridiculously inaccurate proportions), and also disrespects the actual soldiers who fought and died in the war in the name of [[PoliticallyCorrectHistory political correctness and inclusitivity]]. The others says that ''Call of Duty'' is already unrealistic as it is with action-movie campaigns and killstreaks in multiplayer, and that the game is primarily meant to be entertaining for everyone and not a historic simulator.

** The lack of other side of the campaign, especially Call of Duty's staples like [[RedsWithRockets Soviet Union]] and [[YanksWithTanks British]], seem to set to tone if the game will be [[AmericaWonWorldWarII American-centric]].

* FandomRivalry: ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty'' once again came head-to-head with its old competitor, ''VideoGame/{{Battlefield}}'', but this time things are even more vitriolic due to ''VideoGame/Battlefield1'' having a similar historical throwback theme with ''Call of Duty: WWII''.

** Even fans who want another WWII game are skeptical that the game will be primarily from the American perspective in the Western Front. However, Sledgehammer confirmed that there will be campaign missions centered around the French resistance and British intelligence, partially alleviating this concern.

* WinBackTheCrowd: BrokenBase aside, many fans had been disappointed with the franchise moving further into the future after ''Modern Warfare 3'', with the franchise becoming SnarkBait to some. The mere announcement that the series was returning to World War II caused fans to rejoice.

* HilariousInHindsight: ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty4'' was widely praised for abandoning the World War II shooter genre for a modern take. Exactly ten years later, ''Call of Duty: WWII'' is widely praised for ''returning'' to the World War II setting.

* BrokenBase: Some fans are thrilled that ''Call of Duty'' is returning to WWII. Other fans feel that WWII shooters are a DeadHorseGenre and the game should have used a different historical conflict (such as Korea or Vietnam) instead.
** Even more are skeptical of the game's setting, being yet another game set from the American point of view, in the Western Front. Others are willing to cut them some slack.
