This. Why can't we have a game where we play as the other side and the US are the aggressors? It's not like we haven't completely gone out of our way to go stomp on a country (i.e. Vietnam, Iraq.) I want another game like Spec Ops, one that just makes you feel uncomfortable but you can't seem to take yourself away from it.Oskuro said:
Nazi Nazis are two separate types, one is what we would call Orthodox Nazi, that are ubernazis, but they are constantly battling the Nazi Nazis who Nazi(v.) the Nazis. Ubernazis think they are the most Nazi Nazis, so they don't like to be pushed around, but its in the Nature of Nazi Nazis to Nazi the Nazis. Its a complex political landscape in Nazylvania.omega 616 said:

There was an article on here (Critical Intel I think?), that covered the insane restrictions the US Military/government puts on movies/tv/videogames if they want to have any kind of access to equipment, advisers, or use their various distinct logos/uniforms/etc in it. With most MMS's shooting for realism, to the point of licensing guns and helicopters, they're probably dipping into that pool, which means you won't see the US Military lose definitively, or various negative portrayals.StormTheGate said:
Well, the first Mercenaries game used North Korea. And it was at least a little bit more plausible, because between the South Koreans, the Allied peacekeepers, the Chinese and the Russian Mafia faction(I did say a little bit more plausible), North Korea was really just the trigger for the conflict, and bounty target/punching bag for the other factions for most of the game.DrRockor said:
Amazing indeed, it sounds just like going through a US airport! Every serious government wants control in one fashion or another, however I think that the US' is the most despicable because they're playing the 'patronize me' game while constantly vilifying other countries(which either have oil or refuse to accept the dollar as their reserve currency) as O MA GAD, TERRORISTS! Your government are your frigging terrorists for constantly terrifying you with nukes and chemical weapons!Metalrocks said:
I think it has more to do with contemporary politics. Currently, Germany doesn't really have any political beef with the US. While relations between the US and China are better than say relation Between US and USSR during the Cold War, every year there seems to be some political issue that causes friction between the US and China. The recent spat between China and Japan over those islands is evident of the contention between the US and China. Therefore anything that portrays China in a negative light can be seen by them as a form of political slander and/or propaganda (whether its intentional or not).jackpipsam said:
How far back are we talking? All Modern Warfare games had you play as British or Russian soldiers for half the campaign and the British Solders were always the main characters. Battlefield 3 had you play as Russian soldiers for some of the missions (granted they weren't MCs). And didn't Medal of Honor: Warfighter have you play as soldiers from multiple countries?erttheking said:
