How'd you take that as a "fuck the other side" view?
I'd say that was a bit of a knee jerk reaction, but here is the thing I've seen so far. During the presentation before showing the clips they talked about the different war stories and he started to name them off, none of them were anything about the Central Powers. Then they showed the prologue clip and he specifically said it was called "Storm of Steel". Storm of Steel was mentioned in the other thread earlier where it had been talked about and the name is actually from the title of a memoir written by a German soldier named Ernst Jünger (In Stahlgewittern) and was one of the first accounts to tell the story of the horrible trench warfare. Through that name people assumed that there was gonna be at least one character from the Central Powers that was playable. As it stands now though after watching this presentation, they pulled that name for the prologue cause "look tons of bullets flying around" and not more than that.
