<P> Sledgehammer Games have yet to reveal all the authentic settings from World War II that developers have put into the game's storyline . Activision is refusing to deny claims that Nazi extermination camps could feature in the game . Adam Rosenberg of Mashable wrote that video games set during World War II tended to be "Holocaust deniers" in the sense that they avoided broaching the subject for business reasons, but that this could be the very first Call of Duty World War II based game where the Holocaust would be depicted . Senior creative director Bret Robbins said in an interview "Some very, very dark things happened during this conflict and it felt wrong for us to ignore that ." He further stated "We absolutely show atrocities . It's an unfortunate part of the history, but you can't tell an authentic, truthful story without going there . So we went there ." Robbins argued that audiences can now handle games with more maturity and nuance, "People are ready for it . They want it," he said . When asked directly over Twitter as to whether or not the story campaign would allow gamers the opportunity to play as soldiers from the Axis powers such as Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, Sledgehammer Games confirmed that the campaign gameplay would be limited to allied forces . More specifically, Sledgehammer co-founder Michael Condrey confirmed that the game will focus exclusively on the Allied powers . </P> <P> The Windows version of the game was developed in partnership with Raven Software . In regards to it, Raven's CTO Dwight Luetscher stated that they were trying to focus on the Windows platform, as well as the community, by responding to their needs for it to excel . The Windows version features several notable changes, including removal of controller aim assist and addition of sensitivity slider for aim - down - sights mechanic . </P> <P> All pre-orders excluding the PC version include access to the private beta, which was made available first on the PlayStation 4 from August 25 to 28, followed by a second week for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One from September 1 to 4 .

Players who participated in the beta receive the Beta Combat Pack for the full game, which contains a special in - game helmet, emblem and calling card . The game will be available in 3 editions: Base Edition, Digital Deluxe Edition, and the Pro Edition . The Pro Edition is sold exclusively at GameStop .
