MODERATORS
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.
I think Fidel was playable in one of the COD games
He was only in the BO1 Zombies with Nixon, JFK and Robert McNamara. Nixon and JFK I understand, but they should have replaced McNamara with Ho Chi Mihn.

No, they know what it is, and they support it. They always have.
You are seriously overestimating jelly-brained gamers' abilities to know anything
That simply isn't true.
Dog we have been torturing and murdering people for nearly a century now. Ask an American on the street if they would prefer to instantly close down Guantanamo Bay or instantly drop gas prices down by 5 cents and see what their response is.
Yeah exactly, the opening of Black Ops 2 is you helping the UNITA death squad slaughter people in Angola. The black ops games are very open with this kind of stuff.
And Black Ops Cold War opens with you shooting down Vietnamese people lol
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.
