Lol so it's a random civilian protecting himself and his house, and you have the right to point a gun at him? :amerikkka-clap:
Cops do, in fact, have to right to murder anyone at any time if they feel threatened in any way. In this Essay I will prove that rights are an empty liberal construct...
Honestly the navy's videogame SOCOM was the best of the propagames. You were given an objective, some intel like satellite photos, and had to come up with your own strategy.
SOCOM 2 departed from that and just became a COD linear hallway shooter.
SOCOM gave my dad the full Navy Seal experience, because he mistankely jumped into online play after playing like 1 mission, and didn't know how to do shit, so after 1 "round" or w/e, one of his teammates just turned around at the beginning of the next round and brained him point blank.
The bad guy is named Hassan and constantly livestreaming condemnations of American warcrimes.
Legit watching Hasan stream it now lmfao. He just died and they had a fucking Frida Kahlo quote for the deathscreen and he completely missed it.
Nope. After you kill Solemeni, the next guy is named Hassan, and the first 4 times you track him down, it's just a laptop playing his stream.
Tracking him down entails both fighting cartels in Texas and blowing up an entire town in Mexico with an AC130.
They explicitly send PMCs to Mexico to "cut through the red tape and rules of engagement"
Wow, this feels... really fucking bleak. Just normalizing no-knock raids on people who are counter-cultural and using mercenaries to more cleanly wipe out a town full of
civiliansevil cartel goons who do not have families and just spend all their time murdering puppies and doing America Bad twitch streams. And selling this shit to teenagers, so they'll think it's totes poggers and finally respond to that Army recruiter who's been DMing them in Fortnite
You get a game over for blowing away a civilian during a no-knock raid? How unrealistic.
The last time they did this you had to wait until the civilian pulled a gun or something out to defend themselves from your SAS/CIA death squad, then you could murder everyone in the house.
That mission was especially greasy because the devs were like "We never actually said that no knock special forces raids on apartment buildings are a good thing" except almost everyone in the building turns out to be a heavily armed terrorist and the raid prevents a dirty bomb attack so they kinda are saying that...
Hey don't worry friend, I too had that realization when I realized the whole "death to the MPLA" was problematic, and it turns out the MPLA were the based ones...
Hell yeah, the "bad" ending of that game is so much more satisfying.
Huh, that's interesting. I know there's a character in 3 who references him (an Egyptian army officer in the midst of a massive stupid robot war talking about how Menendez was good and the world needs someone like him now) and your squadmate gets super angry at him even though he seems to be completely right lmao
i expect a nicaraguan terrorist to vaporize the hellish city of L.A. by commanding a fleet of chinese drones in 2025
there's also a segment in this one where you pilot the missile that killed Qasem Soleimani

just "arrogant empire" things
This does call to mind the Iranian who basically said "Who would we kill in retaliation? Mickey Mouse? America doesn't have any heroes!"
Iran should release a video of them executing spongebob, spiderman, and the call of duty characters
Such a based quote. It’s true after all. I wish my country wasn’t evil and had people I could look up to as heroes. It must be infuriating to have that and have avengers-land murder him and not even have a target to reciprocate against.
I read your post out loud to my partner, and they responded: "I dunno? A football player, I guess?"
Then we remembered that they had no problem doming Pat Tillman for not towing the line on AMERICA NUMBER ONE propaganda.
Pat Tillman
wtf he literally just looks like :gigachad-hd:. That jaw doesn't even look human
Wasn't there also a moment where you shoot a woman who pulls out a knife after shooting her husband?
Pretty sure. Like you broke in to a house and then kill everyone inside, but if you kill the woman who pulls the knife too early you get penalized because you didn't give her the time to fully realize that her loved one was just slaughtered in front of her, all her friends are dead, and she has only seconds to protect herself from the same fate. You've got to let that all kick in before you kill her for maximum adrenochrome production in the brain stem.
A first person shooter sounds about right for a "training program" for cops.
"fuck you get out of my house" while holding a bat when a :the-pigs: with an AR-15 is aiming at your head. something people totally do and not something :the-pigs: make up after the fact
No, this does actually happen semi-regularly, because people are confused from just having woken up and can't see the cops because the cop has an 11 billion candela flashlight on their gun. Also, people will often come to the door with a golf club or something and the cops will immediately murder them because they "had a weapon" without actually giving the victim any commands or any time to respond to commands.
It’s worse with context. You’re chasing an Iranian commander who was smuggled over the border. You’re Mexican special forces and outside your jurisdiction because THE MISSION LIVES ARE AT STAKE.

Oh jesus christ. You bust in to Castro's room, he takes a women in her underwear hostage, you shoot him in the head... Then the woman pulls a machine gun from no where so you kill her, too.
Fucking CoD>
spoiler
You mean Fidel Castro's body double. Because Castro is a bit harder to assassinate than that. Try poisoning his wetsuit next time.
It's hilarious to me that Americans can't even kill Castro in their wildest dreams.
also one of the cod games made a mission that was obviously a reference to a well-known American War Crime from the Desert Storm era (highway of death) and then said Russians did it.
there's a great book about this kind of shit called "National Security Cinema" though it mostly focuses on movies, as the title impies.
The first mission of CoD: Finest Hour you are a Red Army soldier killing Nazis on the Eastern Front
Isn’t that the one that helped spread the myth that every other person got a gun and the rest got ammo for when the other guy died?
Not complaining, just makes them look even braver :rat-salute:
*fuck all CoD games past World at War
Feels like both Infinity Ward and Treyarch are trying to "repent" for criticizing Western interventionism and portraying the Red Army sympathetically respectively since those games. No other explanation.
I suppose the "pacify people by aiming a gun at them" is intended to work inconsistently in the game to have some "deep, morally grey" moments where the chuds get to go :soypoint-2:
But those cop "simulators" are rigged to have lethal force as the correct option because they're copaganda used by law enforcement to demonstrate to the media "how difficult these decisions really are", justifying cop narratives about killings and this is no different. I remember a :citations-needed: ep mentioning it but I can't recall which one.
I remember playing SWAT 3 and having fun pepper spraying the grandma in the first mission after handcuffing her :side-eye-2:
swat 4 was very unrealistic because you got penalized for mowing people down without giving them a chance to surrender
