Reginald Noble vs. The Weird
Here's some context...
That doesn't even go into detail about all of the skinny, half-naked dudes from Merica wearing patriotic underwear who try to poop on you and fire fireworks out of their mouths, while hanging from the legs of bald eagles. Yeah, it's gonna be one heck of a weird game!Lugbzurg said:
Neo IRA! Those tattie eatin' bastids!
We'll show 'em!
On a more serious and less anti-Irish note, possibly have some grey moral shit, where there's just two companies/factions that are as bad as each other and have them duke it out.
As a plot twist, the protagonist's side could lose horribly.

District 9 the game.
Only you play as the prawn aliens in what starts out as a revolt within South Africa and quickly turns into an all out global conquest after reinforcements arrive via returning mother ships.
So the enemy would effectively be all of humanity.
You get to use a combination of awesome alien weapons and mech suits as well as pilfered human weapons. Game story could raise the same moral questions and social commentary as the film.

Why does it have to be a single race/faction? Why can't some of my enemies be white, some black, some Asian and the rest can be handicapped people (hey they don't get enough video game representation).
This is why I can't stand 99% of modern shooters, especially CoD. The entire premise seems to be "shoot anyone who isn't white, unless that white guy is trying to betray you". I deserve a multicoloured rainbow of slaughter dammit.

Can the USA be the bad guys, just for once? Or at least have a few shades of grey? Maybe do what Bulletstorm did, having the bad guy be the swearing, racist, EMERICUH FOK YEH type person that spunkgargleweewee tends to pander to.
The problem here is that Americans (the largest market of the FPS genre) want to kill "the bad guy", but don't like it when they ARE the "bad guy". So Germans, anywhere in middle east, Russians, Asians, Brazil are all "acceptable bad guys" to kill.
If I could create a FPS it would be as follows.
It is a "squad" based single player shooter where you control a squad of men/women (via D pad or context menu)
The year is 2030, The damage done to the planet has caused the temperatures to fluctuate in odd places. Canada is frigid cold 10 months of the year and America has expanded down into Mexico and the northern parts of South America by way of military might so its population from the northern states cannot avoid the cold. Canada, being caught in the frozen north, bunker down to a life of hardships while battling the elements. America, now named "The Unified West" begins to send its military might East to the African nations, looking for continued expansion to "warmer climates". With Sights aimed on all of South America, and the nations of Africa the rest of the world takes action, by mobilizing their own forces to stop these invasions.
You play through 3 campaigns
1) The Canadians - Defending their mountain ranges and dense forested area's from "The Unified West" as they look to steal/strip mine the natural resources. (Game play based around success/failure of each mission with campaign, effects the following two campaigns difficulty)
2) The English - On the ground SAS (or other high end military unit) sent in to assassinate high ranking members of the military, destroy instillation's, weapons cache's etc (More stealth based, focus set on the "alertness level" garnered with each mission - think Hitman's assassin rating - Can run and gun or stealth, stealth gives next mission higher chance of guards/resistance - run and gun has more guards, but enemy hears of your presence which causes unrest (think batman and scaring the crap out of goons, how they get less accurate/good at their job)
3) The Africans - You play as a squad leader in one of the African Military units in direct contact with "The Unified West's" military might. Battles are fought out like traditional shooter (CoD style from WW2 games) moving from objective to objective. Loss isn't necessarily a game over, but gives enemy bonus's, additional resources to throw at you in the next level etc.
Narrative would be told from the point of an High Ranking African general (to give weight to the African people who are being hammered by the Military might of their enemies and reading how each mission from other campaigns has effected the on-going campaign there.
Sorry a bit long winded, but I think this would be fun to play

Yeah, because Nazi Germany was known for electing a black President and legalising gay marriage in so many states.Arfonious said:
It's easy to rag on America... but it doesn't make any sense.
America is a lot of things, but Fascist it isn't. It's far more like the British empire, idealistic intervention that escalates out of control.
And by the way, jsut in case you thought you were being original, a LONG list of games where Americans are the enemy:

I can't possibly think you meant "America" is the enemy, all the people, even the toddlers and infants, even those who disagree with the belligerents?
If you do, are you aware that that is in fact the approach the Nazis took in WWII to the nations it fought against?
I think you are getting a little to wrapped up in your issues with how the economy is run and have let it go to your head.Akratus said:
How is it any better or worse to kill people walking along the street or some businessman?
The only basis for ever killing people is that they are an immediate and severe threat to you.
You don't even know that business he is involved in, he could be head of a company that makes books for schoolchildren, but "yay let's kill him" even though he's no threat to anyone. And even if he embezzled some money, when is being horrifically killed like that in any way a proportional retribution?!?!?!
Look, the "99%" and occupy movement don't want a genocide of the rich, they just want some reforms. They don't want mass public executions, they don't want gulags, they are not like the Bolsheviks who want "Socialism at any cost" and literally meaning that, literally any cost, any extreme, any level of barbarity. Socialism was then not a means to a better life but an end in itself even if it meant killing people by the truckload and deliberately inflicting suffering on millions.
No.
Occupy's problem is with a system that HURTS PEOPLE. The problem is the people being HURT. It DEFEATS THE ENTIRE PURPOSE to hurt people to change the system that is causing HARM.
Part of the whole bloody problem with the Rainbow 6 Patriots trailer is they expected people to be horrified by what the terrorists did... but far too many rooted for them.
To those people: Get your priorities straight. Now.
Because you're going down the same path as Al Qaeda. And I'm telling them know, what is what they'd like, murdering anyone in a business suit, then they are categorically NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE 99%!!
Actually that sounds pretty amazing. Playing as an alien insurgent utilizing scavenged tech both human and alien trying to survive long enough until the eventual backup arrives is one hell of a premise.ron1n said:
A brainwashing cult that normally treats absolutely everyone outside of it with complete disdain and hatred, but now acts to seize Theocratic control of the US by arming its members.
Offensive to the WBC yes, but they'd hate it no matter who the enemy was. Everybody wins!

Wow, calm down, you like America I get it.Treblaine said:
Of course I didn't mean America as the enemy I meant the USA as a consept not every person. When people state Nazi Germany as the enemy they don't mean every toddler and infant.
I know that the land of Freedom is not really Fascist etc. I just meant that a game set in a not so distant future where USA got out of hand thing happened would be cool
And I know that I wasn't the first person to think of USA as the enemy, that would be ridiculus, I saw the list and have played most of them.
A union of Nordic countries, raiding the shores of the Atlantic with their neo-Viking armies and Longship submarines.
The New Confederate States of America
Brazil, either as part of a South American League or otherwise
Some future African Superpower, like maybe Nigeria.

Russian Space Nazis. That'd be fun right? Maybe you play as an Algerian guy or something rather that American Special Forces? But yeah nazis who are Russian in space...
Well one problem with using the handicapped is that we have a very hard time firing assault rifles. It's the kick, knocks us right on our ass.idarkphoenixi said:
On Topic: Soccer Moms vs. The NRA. Each side gets tired of the others anti/pro gun arguments and they decide to settle it the old fashioned way, all out war!
To all who say "Americans", I got 4 words for you:
"Spec Ops: The Line"
It's a MMS in third person, and unlike most MMS games, it actually has a good story that denounces the evils of war instead of celebrating it.
