COD: Ghosts of The Past

[J Tyran]

And the free healthcare is a bit naff tbh. They said I didn't need a flu jab and tried to charge me £8 if I really wanted it. So I went and got it from my supermarket pharmacy which cost me £3.50. Yeah, NHS can be a bit of a joke sometimes.

So not getting any unnecessary treatment you feel you must have = bad? There are plenty of real problems with the NHS but not giving everyone any treatment they wrongly feel they are entitled to isn't one of them, if you where in one of the at risk categories (elderly, Asthma, Diabetes and a bunch of other chronic health issues and in some circumstances living with those that do) you would have got the vaccine.

The joke would have been better if it was Canadians invading

We're outside your door... :0

You wanna throw me into the shoes of a colonist fighting for Independence against the Redcoats? I could do that. But the moment you start deifying Washington, I'm out.

So, first five minutes.

 

[Muspelheim]

And we would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling Americans!

*Shakes fist in the air*

And that mangy dog!

"Scooby-dooby-doo!"

Touché, my friend.

I am here all night, comrade!

After Homefront I also thought about this. It would make sense that you would be able to kill hundreds of them because they would be using muskets and you could have cinematic scenes of american fighter jets bombing and being shot out of the sky by British frigates. Your helicopter gets shot out the sky by a bronze cannon and you have to destroy them with C4.
You also gotta look out for cavalry charges. It would all be hilarious and the enemy combat taunts would be very... memorable.
"Piss on you yankee twat!" and "Ill fock you up wanker!" and "Liberty my arse!" and "Call me a chav again you fatarse cowboy!"

Edit: And the final boss is the queen and her loyal war corgis.

Where do I sign up.....to be Benedict Arnold?

 

[Fox12]

Oh shit, we can't let South America invade the States! They might set up a puppet dictator and exploit our country for natural resources! Oh, wait...

 

[themilo504]

A even better idea would be if the fourth Reich led by zombie Hitler teamed up with vampire Stalin leader of the new soviet union who are aided by evil wizzard osama bin laden leading al Qaida who obtains his power from his ally the devil.

And after the devil is defeated the uk allied with china Mexico Spain Canada north Korea Vietnam Tripoli italy and the Austrian Hungarian empire attacks the United States.

Is it odd that I kind of hope they make that game?

 

[Barbas]

Just biding our time....biding our time...

 

[JenSeven]

Yeah, we'll let the British invade the US, but while the Americans are busy battling the British, the Dutch will sneak in and reclaim New Amsterdam!

For those of you that don't know, even old New York was once New Amsterdam,
why they changed it I can't say

Well, people just liked it better that way.

I'm not entirely sure how the dutch would sneak in though, what with all those wooden shoes

It would be pretty easy, since all Americans are obese rednecks.
Don't you just love cultural stereotypes?
No, me neither.

 

[XMark]

Homefront lost the stupid crown a while ago: Modern Warfare 3 has been the proud owner of the stupid crown for Russia invading all of Europe simultaneously after their failed invasion of the US.

 

[Lieju]

When we Finns get to invade anything?

The best we ever got in history was losing a war so well it was practically winning.
I want to invade US, come on, who is with me?

 

[Objectable]

Next time: The Americans must fight their greatest threat: Switzerland!

[SandroTheMaster]

I guess "South America" is subtler than "Venezuela".

Yeah. Let's just mash together all those countries and call them "the enemy". Doesn't make sense. Most South American countries prize diplomacy over conflict. Especially Brazil.

Now, in terms of military, South America isn't so slouch. In fact they could mobilize a scary force for a ground invasion. But come on! The main country in that block is a) extremely close to the USA in foreign relations and b) extremely close to Europe in foreign relations. Something pretty major would have to happen for Brazil to turn on both... heck, the US mostly expects it to police its neighbors.

"In 2014, the British are coming... back."

On a serious note. I'm actually waiting for the day one of the major shooter makers actually has the UK as the "baddie" that the oh-so-righteous US have to fend off and defeat again. On occasion a British entity has been the "behind the scenes" orchestrator, James Moriarty style, but never a full on enemy.

They've villainised nearly every other part of the world, but they're yet to make a concerted effort into demonising Western Europe (particularly us Brits, since we were apparently so bad) in the public consciousness.

 

[Anti-Robot Man]

I like how everyone is joking that the British and/or Canadians would be a laughable (and highly improbable) threat to the USA, when in the 1930s (i.e. when the NAZIs were on the rise and USSR had been formed) American military strategists were drawing up plans to fend off a joint invasion of the British Empire (well what was left of it) and Canada. It was known as War Plan Red, the US counter strategy was basically to blitzkrieg into Canada (referred to as "Crimson" in the plans and I assume to make the "enemy" sound more threatening/badass) in order to prevent the British from having friendly territory to land in/support close to hand.

[Aesir23]

You will feel the true power of passive-aggressive sarcasm!

...Unless you ask us to leave politely. Then we have no choice but to return to the UK, and drink tea and eat scones.

Im sorry, but Im pretty sure Canada isn't in the UK.



.... wait, does Canada even have a military?

For, like, fighting wars and stuff.


They do?.... Does Canada know?

I believe he's remarking on the fact that Canada got its independence by asking nicely (in a political sense) as opposed to fighting like the Americans.

We are also aware we have a military, we just assume they're armed with pointy sticks and gift baskets instead of guns.

The joke would have been better if it was Canadians invading

That's no joke. Canada burned the White House down twice.

Your wrong twice in one sentence.

First, the White House has only been burned once.

Second, Canadians did not burn down the White House. When Major General Robert Ross took Washington, the regiments in all three brigades under his command were from Wellington's Peninsular Army. They had all been raised in England and seen service in Spain. The only exception was a single company of the Corps of Colonial Marines, a unit recruited from among escaped slaves in the Caribbean. Nowhere in his forces, were Canadian Militia or any of the Regular Army regiments that were serving in Canada. Canadians did not burn down the White House.

Hmm, I would think the next logical step would be preventing an invasion from Atlantis. Or would we be saving that for the survival mode? xD

"In 2014, the British are coming... back."

Shouldn't be this awesome, but I read this in Dannys voice.
