MODERATORS
US military shooters have no valid historical targets aside from Nazis. So if they make a new one they either have to cycle through the many undeserving targets of US empire or completely give up on making USBurgermericans the heroes (they do the first one).
Yeah, but recently - perhaps due to global markets, perhaps it's a vague take on capitalism - it seems like a lot of games favour the backdrop of a mass mercenary war with a vague multicultural assimilation of 'good guys' vs bad greedy corrupt mercenaries.
R6, BF6, latest Black Ops - it actually makes me miss the old explicitly partisan games - because at least then in multiplayer I could play as the 'bad guys' (anti-imperialists). Now I just have to play as some NATO-coded PMC.
The original Modern Warfare, playing as Spetsnaz and being greeted on the victory screen by the anthem of the USSR
Even as a kid without any context at all, hearing that theme definitely planted a seed at the back of my mind that these guys were cool.
Early call of duty where you can spend unlimited time sniping Nazis in Leningrad.
