I did play a FPS back in the day that was funded (or at least publicly advised) by the US military where it completely backfired on them and the :amerikkka: and :eu-cool: factions were getting constantly curbstomped by the Russian/Chinese/Middle Eastern faction from day one
I'm still convinced those same military advisors are the ones behind nerfing our maps to make them harder to defend (didn't matter, we still fucking dominated through teamwork and skill) and eventually ruined any semblance of game balance through patches that made LMGs OP compared to every other gun at every range, killing the game
That shit was hilarious, been meaning to make a post about it
If you ever played on the small map attacking Valor and had the bizarre experience of taking points A and B only to find that point C immediately had the C4 armed a second later, I'm probably the guy who did that
The brief synopsis was 3 factions, an American grunt themed faction called Valor, a high tech Euro themed PMC faction called Raven, then SVER which was themed as a East European/Not post soviet rebellion group and it was so much cooler to play as those scrappy lads than the others

OH SHIT you're talking about MAG aren't you! SVER ALL THE WAY!
This game was so jank lol. But hey, it was ambitious to have so many players on playstation even if it was virtually unplayable in those big servers
Hell yeah, SVER forever!

...are those three other factions or is it one faction of all the BRICs countries mobilizing at the same time in a giant rabble?
One big designated "bad guy" faction and it was cool as hell, our starting equipment was a rusty old AK held together with duct tape
The west in general, forgetting that China has the third largest army on the face of the earth:
