to my knowledge there hasn’t been one single game of any notariety made where the US is the bad guys and you shoot at Americans
Seriously? What about Bioshock 3? Don't you literally fight an animatronic George Washington?
What about Last Of Us? Or Half Life 2? Or... fuck, half of your Counterstrike rounds involve playing as a literal terrorist shooting at American / UK / French special forces.
Command & Conquer and Red Alert let you play as literal Communists. Red Faction, too.
There are tons of games where you're an insurgent fighting against a corrupt American government. And tons of games where you're "Both Sides"-ing a conflict between geopolitical powers.
