I think this is a good indicator that we will get to play as one of those heroes in the campaign as DICE said we will be experiencing the war from several different perspectives. I genuinely hope we get to play as Henry Johnson AKA The Black Death, this man is a forgotten hero and it would be a great way to bring his story to us all. I didn’t know who the hellfighters were so did some research and I have to say they had it rough (especially rough).
I thought I’d drop a few links in about this guy so anyone who is interested can have a look, you will see why I hope this guy makes it into the campaign.
The Hellfighter Pack is a pre-order bonus that nets you a Hellfighter M1911 pistol, a Harlem Hellfighters insignia, a Hellfighter Trench Shotgun, and a Hellfighter Bolo Knife. You would not need those in single, they would be provided if you had to play them, so multiplayer it is. Also confirms DLC insignas.
I think you completely missed the point of my post dude, so I shall say it again more clearly. As the hellfighters pack is included for multiplayer bonus content it is a good indicator that we might well get to play as a member of this unit in the campaign. If we didn’t get to play as one of them in single player the whole pack simply makes no sense. There was no mention of using the packs content in single player, just using it as a point that might get to play as a member of that group in singleplayer.
Mind you, there is no indication yet that the Harlem Hellfighters will be in the single player game either. Are the dudes on the cover usually the campaign protagonist? I never really noticed. I would definitely prefer that the campaign revolves around the key players in the early war, rather than the latecomers to the party in both wars. Not that I would want to diminish or downplay the contributions the US has made, but lets be fair and say that the US get an disproportionate level of attention in World War games of any kind.
At the unveiling they said more than once that we will experience the campaign from several perspectives as the war was so massive. Also the Hellfighters were “loaned” to the french when they were literally being destroyed, which is why most of the unit received the french version of the medal of honor. Without these guys the french would have been crushed and the war would have taken a very different route their contribution was huge. Which all together along with the actual accounts of what they did makes me firmly believe they will feature as one of the protagonists of the campaign.
someone watched jackfrags his new video… My hope goes that the SP will not be the whole time about the harlem hellfighters but also from european army’s and middle eastern and please not only france and italy there are other country’s to that fought in the great war!
