Whats the deal with games like MW2,BFBC2, and Black ops having Russians as the antagonists? Have game writers really run out of ideas?
Why Russia?

Why not? We lost the Cold War. Americans won. They get to make us look like the bad guys.
I have no issue with it, really. At least it shows that Russia is considered a power to be reckoned with.

I perfer prefer playing as russia on BC2. So much cooler than those pansy americans, that's for sure.
Anyway, yeah, but what other nation would you take instead? That would make sense? I'd rather see a third party fighting russian and/or the US. That'd be cool.

I would try to fix that, but I'm sort of lazy. But, really, that last word is incorrect.
Because it's the cool thing to imagine that the nukes had gone off in The Cold War or that Russia decided to attack later on. It's just the done thing right now. It used to be WW2 games, now it's WW3.
Pretty much this but also because they are enemies that America lost/tied to. Just like vietnam where they pulled out and signed a peace treaty. So they make these games where they kick some enemy ass but in real life they lost.AjimboB said:
I guess people want a little bit of realism. When i say little i mean tiny, the only other enemy would have to be the Chinese in "realistic" fps world.
I'd like to see an original fps that would take huge liberties with modern cultural borders. It would make for much better sequels because you could tie it in anywhere in the world, just give the countries a new name... I say we make Australia the main antagonist, they are surrounded 360 by water. Throw a huge military force on there and lets call it a sturdy dictatorship, kind of like the helghast.

Because Russia's the big baddy the Western world needs for its ego.
I'd like to see a shooter where you simply play as someone else than the Americans, it would open up so many options for enemies because you wouldn't be playing as the most powerful army in the world, which pretty much limits the enemies you can use to Russia and China because everyone else would be a laughable enemy.

And yet no-one is doing that well in these wars. Honestly, the Soviet Union had a fantastic time in Afghanistan, and it shows by how they are now! Oh wait...AjimboB said:
OT: Because essentially they're a super power and one that threatened America once. If China did, then we would be shooting them. If Cuba did, we'd have the Bay of Pigs invasion as the new World War 2. It's just what was popular in history. No biggy and we mean nothing by it, besides mocking Russia and probably pissing them off. Must be how Germany and Japan felt after MANY World War Two games.
Calumon: Why does no-one wanna be friends? : (
Maybe because the Russians are bad asses. I'm not their biggest fan, but those guys don't take shit from nobody and aren't shy about showing it off. And honestly, what's more intimidating and charismatic than a deep Russian accent.
How could you want any other enemy.

You make a good point, but what I mean is that there's no variety in antagonist countries lately. I'd like to see someone like, North Korea fight the U.S.(Not the Korean War) Even though the tension at the DMZ hasn't been too exciting, I'd still like to play that game, if it ever gets made.AjimboB said:
Here's an idea when otehr countries start making games they can have whoever they want be the villains
In the mean time the people whoa actually make games are busy basing htem off people we tussled with or trying to make people forget who they sided with (you know who you are)
