<\/a>Gameplay when dialogue commonly occurs<\/p>\nYet, Call of Duty: WWII has features that takeaway from the overall immersion.\u00a0 It is not surprising that there are features that reduce the immersion, but it is surprising how glaring they are.<\/p>\n
The most obvious and least bothersome is the head-up display (HUD).\u00a0 Most first person shooter games have a HUD, which is a status bar that relays information to the player.\u00a0 As the picture below indicates, the HUD shows health, number of bullets, grenades, and other possible options, like a mortar strike or the use of binoculars.<\/p>\n
Next is the historical accuracy of the game.\u00a0 Although, locations and the overall narrative of WWII is followed, there are little things that add up.\u00a0 For example, there are females enlisted in each military, which did not occur until later.\u00a0 Additionally, the swastika has been censored in some parts of the game.\u00a0 Now it is most likely that these two things have occurred because of culturalization.\u00a0 Kate Edwards defines culturalization as \u201ctaking a deeper look (than localization) into a game\u2019s fundamental assumptions and content choices and then assessing their viability both in the broad, multicultural marketplace as well as in specific geographic locales\u201d (Edwards, 97).\u00a0 It is possible to assume that censoring the swastika is a message and utilizing females is to make the game more personal for female players.\u00a0 Another quality that take away from the immersion of the game is that some of the weapon sounds were made via software and not with the actual sounds from real life fire arms and are therefore inaccurate. A final issue with the historical inaccurate campaign is that the game starts with the invasion of Normandy, better known as D-Day. D-Day occurs on June 6, 1944, almost 5 years after the start of the war.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
