CoD games have always been absolute bottom of the barrel politically and historically, but this one is shaping up to be outright fucking cancerous
They blamed the fucking Highway of Death on the ebil ruskies. Propaganda overdrive.
They became extremely insufferable after straying away from their futuristic nonsense and rebooting their contemporary imperialist “realism”. Now instead of having goofy Russian villains and B tier action heroes, you have a bunch of “””operators””” dealing with “””real””” issues
I mean at least in the original Modern Warfare 2 you get to kill the warmongering US general. No chance of something like that in the current CoD games.
Are they gonna show how the CIA helped him with his gas attacks? Or do you think they’re gonna have a cutscene where he’s inspecting WMDs then hands out viagra to his soldiers before grinding brave American POWs in giant meat grinders
Doing the bit from the first Modern Warfare but instead of getting nuked, the protagonist gets lowered feet-first into a meat grinder.
"Remember, no Russian" my colleague says to me, as he pulls box cutters out of his bag on American Airlines Flight 11.
Saddam Hussein overthrows the democratically elected government of Iran because he wants their oil
It should be modern day and they should do a 'somehow Palpatine has returned ' for Saddam. Also he should be playable in multi-player.
Also like, obviously this is all military propaganda but barely euphemistically calling something Call of Duty: War Crimes is really on the nose and doing it 6 times had made it pretty obvious thst normal people have no idea what Black Ops refers to IRL. They think top tier operator missions not Honduran death squads funded by drug money cause a black op can't be on an official budget and needs operating capital from somewhere.
THE DEAD SPEAK
south park Saddam Hussein voice 'hey buddy! Relax!"
Robo Saddam

No, they know what it is, and they support it. They always have.

Nah in the Call of Duty Black Ops games, you literally partake in missions like the Honduran death squads one you described. The opening of Black Ops 2 is literally being part of a death squad in Angola where you help Jonas Savimbi slaughter the MPLA. People like that, that's the point of the games. To normalise this kind of US military activity amongst the general public.
It’s been some years since I’ve played black ops, but considering they they are very mainstream I feel like they have above average criticisms of the US role in geopolitics compared to most militaristic media (which isn’t really something significant, but it always surprised me). I’m curious if that’s still the case.
They're gonna say that Russia funded Saddam, aren't they?
They might even blame it on China
Gamers were mad when the previous black ops trailer (the one with the anti communist paranoia John Birch interview) removed a 2 second clip of the Tiananmen tank man since Tencent owns some of Blizzard/Activision lol
They'll 100% blame Saddam for a Highway of Death-like event. Instead of iraqis being charred to death, it'll be some people from one of those laughable nations CoD invents like Puchikistan or whatever the fuck. The massacre will be carried out by the Republican Guard.
I know they did this exact thing before and blamed it on Russia, they will recycle.
Highway of death was already blamed on Russia in the modern warfare reboot
Depends who america hates more according to the pentagon who funds cod games, russia, china, yemen, iran, palestine, venezuela, dprk, cuba?
They're gonna have a mission where you find and destroy his WMDs, and then make a plot point about why you have to lie to the world and say that he didn't have any.
Ramirez, present this yellowcake to the United Nations
Press F to show yellowcake
This fucking better make an appearance pinned to a board somewhere ingame
Hello I am Saddam Hussein I am so damn insane and I did 9/11, press F to quick knife me and cry.
Ah right the annual US propaganda in vidya game form is coming out. I unfortunately just remembered that
No way in hell they'll get John Benjamin for the role
Looking forward to the cut scene with
Rumsfeldsome high level envoy of Fidel shaking hands with SaddamSaddam Hussein speaks English for the 2.5 seconds he's in the trailer because making cod players read a subtitle would constitute a war crime.
I remember in 2006 cod campaigns were considered derivative. I guess anyone still involved is just young or too far gbone
Bit idea: the game becomes wildly popular but only because people want to play as Sadam. Groups of friends have arguments about people being Sadam hogs in multiplayer.
They're on six now?
Wasn't a discount Saddam Hussein/Assad hybrid the antagonist for the original COD4 Modern Warfare?
Some say this will be about the first gulf war in the 90s, I'm guessing they'll do the "Palestinians gave locations of Kuwaiti guards to Iraqi soldiers" line of propaganda.
lol, lmao, dare I say rofl
cod is army propaganda
