The makers say creating a title based on a conflict that claimed about 60 million lives has been a challenge.
It's been 10 years since the Call of Duty franchise based a game during World War Two.
"In no way do you want to glorify violence, but at the same time you can't ignore it," says Sledgehammer Games co-founder Michael Condrey.
"We spent a lot of time working on the right balance."
[...] "It would be insincere not to touch on what was really happening," Michael explains.
"From the politics at the time, segregation among the allies, the role of women, to the Holocaust.
"By turning away from them we would not have brought the right level of awareness or be able to honour what was really happening.
Fine, but they better not cut the classic wise-cracking Brooklynite from the squad or Call of Duty and me are done.

They don't want to glorify violence but they will give you bonus violence if you get a kill streak. This bonus violence even includes a tactical nuclear strike in one of their games, not glorifying at all.

Exactly! The more violence you use the more degenerate you become. It's a subtle thing.
