Battlefield 5 is causing quite the commotion. With the reveal of the WWII period shooter, EA and DICE revealed the character on the front cover is a woman and multiplayer will feature playable female characters for the first time. DICE boss Oskar Gabrielson took to Twitter to defend the decision.

Over the last couple of days since the reveal, a number of Battlefield's fans have been up in arms about the female character heading the game's cover art. Hashtags like "#notmybattlefield," have aimed to call for more "historical accuracy" in the game. Many have claimed EA and DICE are pandering to minority audiences with this creative decision, rather than accurately representing history.
