Let's just forget two of the nations that had the most casualties in the conflict and their own campaigns. In terms of relevance and importance, the french army went through the most serious shit (Ypres, Verdun, etc.) and the russian army was no small player either, having the most casualties out of everyone, so much that they started conscripting women, underaged people and even little kids of 10-12 to send to the front.
Turns out dying the most doesn't get you into a video game 100 years later.

Oh please. Literally all the Habs vs Italians battles amounted to everyone dying in horribly stupid situations over the same fucking river. The Italian front was literally the first Russian mission of COD1 25 years early.

Welcome to the majority of WWII games that only feature America vs Germany.
This shit isn't unusual. However at least you're likely as hell to see France and Russia coming in DLC.

no one cares about the french. no one cares about the russians. I'm buying the most expensive version I can find to spite you fags who care SO much. I was already buying the game, I love DICE, this is just more incentive to go higher now.

No French? I could have sworn I saw some black soldiers in a screenshot.

Nathan Gonzalez
It's what the Americans remember and since they're their biggest market, that's what you'll get.
Nothing personal, kid.
Jeremiah Foster
We can hope for Canadians mixed into the British forces. Best case scenario, you get a Vimy Ridge level where you play as "British" but you're all Canadians.
Justin Jenkins
>Waah representation in games is dumb. We should be able to have video games about whatever we want, not have this representitive bullshit! >Oh my god, how could they not represent these people in this game. I'm so mad right now I'm going to shit post about it on Sup Forums
Cameron Garcia
The fuck?
Americans didn't even fight in WW1.
Grayson Cooper
I'm surprised by the fact that there's Italians in the game, if we're being totally honest. Heck, same with Austrians. I mean, you'd obviously expect Ottomans to be involved anyways, since Gallipoli is one of the few fronts that had unambiguous British contribution...even when nearly everyone that participated in it were Anzac prisoners.

Xavier Russell
It was shown in the multiplayer stream thing, that both teams, UK and German, could have black soldiers. (Since there are 5 photos in existence of a black soldier in the German Army on the Western Front, so it's totally cool, right?) So how much do you want to bet, that you can be a black Austro-Hungarian soldier in multiplayer?

Camden Price
I was kicked out of a store in North Carolina for pointing out that the U.S. didn't play a massive role (militarily) in WWI during a discussion with some friends.
The narrative that people believe is complete bullshit, but it's the narrative. Seeing as the majority of the market holds this narrative, EA has decided that historical accuracy and common decency is beholden to profit margins.
This shit has happened in WWII games, and almost every AAA video game about any conflict, ever. We have just become desensitized to the intense disservice game devs are doing to these conflicts.
Jordan Hill
you honestly think that an AAA game in 2016 funded by EA is going to make the effort of having to make different animations for children and women soldiers, also considering the insane shitstorm it would cause on social networks when SJWs find out that there is a game where you can shoot little children and PRACTICALLY RAPING women by shooting them?

Maybe his "creative vision" is more suited for a fictional setting.

Chase Nelson
The problem I see online, mostly from overly-defensive Europeans, is that they equate America's contribution to the end of WWI as non-existent. America did play a part, it was the added pressure and needed push to end the war. America was able to pump in soldiers by the 10's of thousands daily, and while they were not as effective as hoped, the surge of fresh troops did increase morale. But because they didn't slog through the years of trench warfare and misery, people look back and pretend they did nothing.

Well they aren't including the eastern front in the base game, can't have every country. The only perplexing decision is not including France in MP when a large part of it takes places on the western front.

Who gives a fucking shit? This is an American game so it's entitled to be about the only country that matters.
Don't like it? Tell someone who gives a fuck. Spoilers: it isn't us, we're too busy reveling in our World War victories and moon landings, maybe 100 years in the future you faggots might know what that feels like when you're not bickering over historical accuracy in VIDEO GAMES.

And? The most causalities on any front in the war came from the Eastern Front, even if they did wait several years before actually starting to fight.

This. Germany could have continued fighting after knocking out Russia, but instead America jumped in to seal the deal.
