What do you mean by this question?

Chad44 10-08-2007 04:22 PM

I meant where are the real nazi logos all i got are crosses.

I think it'd be too big a chore to make all the crosses into Swastikas.
This comes up in EVERY WW2 era themed game. Can't show them in many countries in Europe and developers want to reach the largest market possible.

I would have rather seen proper Iron Crosses take their place instead of the skinny cross that they did use. Just a personal preference to revisionist history :)

Well,actually, it's forbidden in Europe to use images of swastikas. That's the reason they are not presented in the game.

Its's only forbidden in germany.

i would only want swastikas in the game for realism sake

According to the information I possess swastikas are forbiden in the whole Europe. I understand your wish to feel more historical realism in the game, but that's the law and we follow it.

i think you can get swastikas from russian version of the game (coz in russian demo they presented..), possibly textures.vfs data file has it..

Not entirely true. It is outlawwed in all use in Germany. In other EU countries, its use is limited to things like books, games, etc, as long as it isn't in a propagandatory sence of use.

Remember when Prince Harry of England went to a costumeparty some years ago, dressed as an SS-officer with Swastika-band on his arm? This is not illegal, since it was a costumeparty. Now, when he would be brandishing it, screaming "sieg heil" and singing Horst Wessel, now that would be illegal. What he did was bad taste, but not illegal.

The same goes with other general use. It is certainly not illegal to use swastika's in computer games, unless the game itself glorifies nazism.
