>Russia and Iran teamed up with the Mexican drug cartels to smuggle terrorists across the unsecured U.S./Mexico Border
lol this is the plot of Ben Shapiro's book
edit: actually it was Seagal's book

13 years ago in my european politics class the professor made a mistake in allowing people eto sound off on what they thought was the most pressing issue facing the US. half the students said some combination of china, venezuela, iran, russia working with mexico to smuggle terrorists or tank divisions to invade the US.
this is what actually US politics knowers believe
haven't played a CoD in years but I unironically look forward to watching the collected cutscenes whenever a new one comes out. they're such fascinating pieces of propaganda, and there's nothing else quite like them.
this one really is bonkers even by the series' standards, and features some [legendary button prompts](https://imgur.com/a/i5rofrF)
Yeah, the only reason I kinda look forward to them is because of how absolutely deranged the stories are. I really didn’t think they’d top “blame American war crimes on Russia for the lols” but they somehow did so in the first 3 minutes of the campaign. It’s truly impressive.
Also very sad considering the US military sees it as good press for them. And they’re right. The vast vast majority of players think it’s just awesome.
yeah it's depressing for sure but in the meantime I'm down to see how deep the hole goes on this absolutely batshit Modern Warfare Rebooted era. at this pace we'll have CoD: Ukraine sometime within the next few years.
Oh yeah. I’ve been hate playing CoD campaigns since Call of Duty 2, and at this point I’m way past “hey this is kinda messed up” and at “holy shit this is psychotic but fucking hilarious.”
One of my favorites is how in CoD 5 if you shoot your comrades while playing as a US marine it fails you and sends you back to the checkpoint. But during the Russian campaign you can just massacre your fellow red army soldiers and nothing happens lol.
I remember the exact plot of MW2 (‘22) being the subject of a World Weekly News article about Al Qaeda in Mexico in 2002. I also remember Fox News running a similar story about ISIS with Ebola in Mexico in 2014.
I look forward to Call of Duty: The Knockout Game in 2023.
>Mexico is a lawless wasteland where they just leave corpses rotting on the sidewalks and everyone has a gun
I listened to this podcast with this guy who did some time in California prisons but got out in the 80s before the hellworld surveillance state really kicked off, and he became an international business consultant millionaire in the 90s traveling all over the world, and he said when he was living in a halfway house in Oakland in the early 80s, one morning he was leaving for work at like 7am and he saw a dead guy with his throat slashed lying on the sidewalk outside the halfway house in this densely-populated neighborhood, and when he came back from work at like 6pm it was still there. The no snitching/talking to cops culture was so pervasive, no one in that section of Oakland would call 911 even for a corpse. And he said he'd lived all over Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia and he'd never seen anything like that anywhere else.
Kinda ironic they'd choose that to be like "oh shit, look at what a failed state Mexico is!" when we have entire zip codes where you can see the same shit.
This is what drives me fucking insane as a Mexican-American. Even my relatives who are also US born buy into the lawless wasteland shit and like I'm bro, HAVE you fucking SEEN what this country looks like? The same rot that is present in the old country is here, and it's arguably far worse because no one notices it. Every single Mexican from Mexico from what I can gather fully acknowledges that their country is mega fucked. No one in the USA acknowledges any of our problems in a real sense beyond pawns in culture war shit. Like they'll go on rants about how awesome the USA is and then screech about how it's lawless....then go back to talking about how awesome it is! WTF
As someone from another Latin American country who has lived in America for a while, I'd say I found my home country way more civilised. We're fucked, but I legit think our shit is way easier to fix than America's shit, as the later is built into the nation's idea and is actively praised while ours is just a roadblock. It has always been funny to me seeing my country portrayed as a wasteland because at least we have good and free public healthcare and a relatively functional political system compared to them.
In my case we did that for a while and got insanely wealthy and influential very recently, until a soft coup with American meddling plunged us into right wing government, but we're hopefully getting back on track.
What if there was a Call of Duty where all the missions take place in the US?
*The year is 2052. The United States has collapsed. The Neo-UN has deployed its army for "peacekeeping" operations... however, the true mission is not so benevolent. You lead an elite multinational squad of commandos to secure America's WMD before it is used by warlords or sold to terrorists.*
So basically, typical Call of Duty SAS/SOCOM stuff but on US soil. We'd see if gamers still enjoy a "totally apolitical" shooter that's not taking place in the global south.
Idk, just a thought. Activision get at me.
OK but you're protecting American soil from a Russian invasion (somehow?) and I don't recall ever seeing US civilians during those missions even though you're in DC suburbs.
man I loved that campaign. Only somewhat realistic portrayal of the USA being invaded and fighting to defend it. A lot of it was absolutely ridiculous but it was so fun fighting through so many familiar settings
I thought you fight to the roof and use glowsticks to call off the strike - and then see good guy colored glowsticks light up all over the city showing how well the troops have fought.
It’s always such a cop out when they make NK the invaders. You know they really wanted to have it be China but realize that would hurt their bottom line.
The idea of the DPRK invading America is so laughably dumb. A country of 25m invading one of the largest and most militarily advanced countries on earth. Also a core tenant of Juche(which lets be honest they’ve never heard that word before in their life) is non interventionism.
That’s what happened with the Red Dawn Remake at least.
oh absolutely, you’re right it mirrored the red dawn remake exactly. even when i was 13 with minimal awareness (stupid) i saw right through that.
the story was absolutely impossible to imagine, even unified, that the korean peninsula could mobilize the sort of manpower and military might required for an occupation of america all the way to the mississippi river. obvious china stand-in to still sell the game there. laughable
No no, my game is apolitical. You're apolitically playing as a Chinese special ops guy working for the UN mowing down American "militia" types. No politics in it whatsoever.
Guess I'm not as original and envelope pushing as I thought... hell, now that I think about it there's a Tom Clancy game where you merc people in covid pandemic new york - the division or something like that.
Maybe all the 80s reactionaries who did all the good action films in the US, or their current equivalent, went into video game production. Because this really just sounds as stupid and reactionary as one of those films.
It’s absolutely as stupid as those. Remember in Predator how the first 20 minutes is just Jesse Ventura and Arnold massacring an entire battalion of South American Guerrilla fighters?
Predator was an inversion of the trope though. All those tough guy commandos are helplessly picked off 1 by 1 like school girls in a horror movie. Arnie is a literal final girl who only wins by outsmarting his opponent, not by brute strength. Also at the beginning the commandos are questioning their mission and calling it all bullshit, which is it's own critique (can be read as criticizing US covert operations in Central and South America, or Vietnam, or both).
Thank you for this. Predator is an absolutely banging movie. The second one is also extremely fucking good. The series fell apart big style after that although I havnt seen 'prey'
Nothing wrong with an end of franchise rise in quality from an 80s/90s action series. The last two universal soldier movies were mesmerisingly good, especially the last one which is totally Kubrick does van damme
The Predator itself is such a complex and interesting design, just based on its visuals. It doesn't look like most aliens - it has tentacles that resemble dreadlocks, the fact that it walks around bare-chested instead of in some advanced suit/armour. All these visuals give the Predator this 'primal' feel, almost like its some kind of spirit out of a Mesoamerican legend. However, the sheer distance between the technology of the Predator and that of the commandos make its hunt almost seem unfair - there's no way any of those guys can put up a fair fight against this thing. Just like many of the Native American peoples were at huge disadvantage when it came to the technological development of their weapons when compared to those of the Europeans.
It embodies at the same time both the colonised taking bloody revenge on the arm of empire, as well as a colonising force, coming to Earth just to hunt intelligent beings for sport.
>Mexico is a lawless wasteland where they just leave corpses rotting on the sidewalks and everyone has a gun.
Why the fuck is Mexico like this in popular imagination WTF
Motherfuckers be acting like it's Syria. Like it does get really bad but it's not Mad Max....
This is stupid, a lot of cod games have set up their villain by first showing them broadcast over radio, TV, internet, etc. to dehumanize them and establish their evil nature - autocrat, terrorist, whatever role they’re supposed to fill. Both the original and reboot mw1 games did this. This is a pretty common trope
I hate the new modern warfare, not defending it. they’ve somehow jumped the shark beyond rewriting history for the gulf war’s highway of death. but hasan or anyone saying that the character is inspired by him (or broadly attributing terrorist web activity with twitch streaming) is a new level of retard
nvm I fell for the bait, to posters jail I go
Hey congrats! That’s really all I remember from when I tried to learn Russian years ago, it’s my go to phrase. I changed to Spanish because I felt it would be more useful as an American. Unfortunately according to the MW2 documentary it seems I should’ve stuck with Russian as they will be invading us any day now.
Cheers mate! Always been fascinated by how Russian sounds and wanted to learn it, been telling myself to just bite the bullet for years, most fun i've had in a while lol. Better get that Русский up!
Yeah I finished the campaign today and it’s hilariously bad. There’s a PMC called shadow company whose CEO is called Phil Graves (im not joking) who appears to be based on Erik Prince and who is of course a badass operator who goes into battle with his mercenaries.
Later on it turns out the shipping container ICBMs you’re looking for were being illegally shipped to some “good guys” by the US general who’s your boss, with help from the PMC, but they got ambushed and fell into the hands of the Russians who gave them to Soleimani’s brother and they betray you after you find out.
At one point after that’s discovered, the US general says “to do good you have to do some bad” or some shit lol
I don’t buy CoD for the campaigns though, just play multiplayer with the voice comms muted.
Yeah I like how they introduce the PMC with “their rules of engagement will let us dodge a lot of red tape” and then the actual mission where you play as the PMCs has the tightest rules of engagement in the entire fucking game. I failed it like 40 times for firing within 20km of a building.
All this time I thought MW2 talk was of a remaster of the original MW2, which I also thought came out a few years ago.
I wish they'd just give games new titles nowadays instead of reboots with the same names as the older ones.
Dude the ac130 mission pissed me off so much. Idk if I was too high or I’m just an awful gamer or both but that took me like an hour to beat on recruit.
The game’s plot is hilariously stupid and incredibly lazy. There are quite a few scenarios/plot points which are directly copied versions from the original modern warfare series. The AC130 mission, Shepherd is bad/Shadow company storyline, and a ghillie suit mission where you have to keep still in a grassy field with Price while enemy troops walk by.
>oh and in one mission they straight up make you pop Hasan Piker live on stream.
Do you play as Sam Hyde and drink wine from Hassan's skull "as did the ancient Irish?"
Obligatory Jacob Geller video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtCV421T52s
It seems like after people called them out for Modern Warfare (2019), Infinity War thought that "What else do we have to lose?" and so chose to go full hog... And the scary thing is that they might have not made a bad choice.
How come other countries don’t have their own modern warfare games? Is there something in the UN Charter which says only America is allowed to make war videogames? I wanna play a game where Stalin invades Alaska, genocides the Canadians, and presses on until he reaches Miami where Castro is waiting for him
Super expensive to develop and the only reason this even makes money is the very solid multiplayer experience, not to mention all the warzone tie-ins, that’s where the money is at.
The campaign has always been a very expensive and overproduced appetizer.
But yes, please China make Battle at Lake Changjin: The Videogame and let me smoke Douglas MacArthur
I’m pretty sure China has its own versions of a lot of FPS shooters. NK has their own Mario kart game called Pyongyang Racer.
I think it would’ve been hilarious had Castro ordered a Cuban version of Black Ops where you executed Kennedy. Considering a mission in the original black ops has you shooting “Castro” in the face.
Edit: holy shit that would be dope I want a black ops mission where you actually get to do the Kennedy assassination.
The closest thing we’ll get is the mission In CoD: Cold War where Mason sucks off Reagan to completion and then spreads the presidential seed all over his face.
I just saw Sicaria 2: Day of the Soldado and it’s the same storyline.
That movie has also been described as a Republican’s wet dream by other redditors lol. Entertaining and hilarious tho
Hated it and wish I had saved my cash. I hate games that pull the chase errand for you to prove you can chase crap. After failing it for 10th time sending me back I deleted the game. Side note the game is very beautiful and realistic.
In 2022, 89 terrorists were found crossing the border and those were the ones who were caught imagine how many weren't caught? This has nothing to do with Tucker Carlson the cartels are literally working with terrorists, plus you can argue the cartels are terrorists. The only thing funny here is that people like you believe that when that's pointed out it's somehow some sort of right-wing conspiracy theory but it's literally what is happening. About 10 years ago the president of Iran went to Mexico to try and start up a friendship. Middle Eastern bad guys have a connection with Mexican bad guys that's not a secret.
This is exactly the kind of post I was looking for rn lol. A terrorist getting smuggled into the U.S. by a Mexican cartel was the moment all immersion was broken for me. Then you have a fucking AC130 raining hellfire into Mexico like that’s not gonna raise fucking alarms lol.
It’s fucking hilarious until you realize a generation of children have played these games and continue to play them and take them at face value and now their biggest dream in life is to kill someone. Then it just becomes fucking sad.
>Russia and Iran teamed up with the Mexican drug cartels to smuggle terrorists across the unsecured U.S./Mexico Border lol this is the plot of Ben Shapiro's book edit: actually it was Seagal's book
Ah yes, who can forget a book with the theme "how tall is every character"
BEAR OF A MAN
Take a bullet for you, babe.
No shot thats a thing bro, like i dont believe it

Also the plot of Act of Valor, the SEAL recruiting commercial that became a movie. (Literally)
Also a Tom Clancy book that I can’t remember the name of.
It’s like if Verhoeven made his films unironically.
[удалено]
The point of that movie is that Dizzy is actually the hot girl the whole time, right?
The bug queen had a vagina for a face and you still think Dizzy was the hot one?
Oh shit. What a fool Ive become.
haven't played a CoD in years but I unironically look forward to watching the collected cutscenes whenever a new one comes out. they're such fascinating pieces of propaganda, and there's nothing else quite like them. this one really is bonkers even by the series' standards, and features some [legendary button prompts](https://imgur.com/a/i5rofrF)
For anyone unfamiliar: the button they’re telling you to hold is the “aim” button, so the de-escalation tactic is basically a no-knock raid
De-escalating by pointing your gun at them harder.
Yeah, the only reason I kinda look forward to them is because of how absolutely deranged the stories are. I really didn’t think they’d top “blame American war crimes on Russia for the lols” but they somehow did so in the first 3 minutes of the campaign. It’s truly impressive.

CoD: Warzone already has a Donetsk map. No way they're not doing a CoD: Ukraine.
They’re going to have Kevin Spacey play Putin I guarantee it
Kevin Spacey doing a Southern accent and playing Putin as a gay man
This is the best reason to buy it right here lol
I remember the exact plot of MW2 (‘22) being the subject of a World Weekly News article about Al Qaeda in Mexico in 2002. I also remember Fox News running a similar story about ISIS with Ebola in Mexico in 2014. I look forward to Call of Duty: The Knockout Game in 2023.

But one of the main characters is black and another is a woman. It’s a very political game.
I'm exactly the same lol! I love watching those compilations. The comments on those videos \*chefs kiss\*
I liked the Cold War story since you could betray NATO and nuke Europe.
Yeah it was a very easy choice.
And the game continues?

If y'all actually got your oil money and could do import tariffs on corn, it'd be paradise.

German user name and from Latin America, verry suspect...
How dare you. My grandfather arrived here with nothing but the boots on his feet, his SS uniform and a dream.
Not all Latin Americans have Rodriguez, Gomez, Silva, or Garcia as their last names bruh
The ultra violence is nowhere near the same tho. These cartels have become warring paramilitaries and some places in Mexico are like that

there's one singular civilian with [a car and unmatched comedic timing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMsKwieS49c)
man I loved that campaign. Only somewhat realistic portrayal of the USA being invaded and fighting to defend it. A lot of it was absolutely ridiculous but it was so fun fighting through so many familiar settings
It wasn't realistic.
The urban and suburban settings were super realistic. Not the gameplay.
The White House got nuked though that was pretty cool
I thought you fight to the roof and use glowsticks to call off the strike - and then see good guy colored glowsticks light up all over the city showing how well the troops have fought.
Ah fuck I don’t remember I just remember seeing the White House all fucked up 1812 style.
[удалено]
Yeah I think an EMP is a side effect of a nuclear detonation.
it’s another outlandish story but Homefront has America being invaded by a unified Korea and that had a pretty fun campaign.
It’s always such a cop out when they make NK the invaders. You know they really wanted to have it be China but realize that would hurt their bottom line. The idea of the DPRK invading America is so laughably dumb. A country of 25m invading one of the largest and most militarily advanced countries on earth. Also a core tenant of Juche(which lets be honest they’ve never heard that word before in their life) is non interventionism. That’s what happened with the Red Dawn Remake at least.

Holy shit, they really make you kill a streamer? They’re really out to please everyone, huh?

Predator was also directed by John Mctierman, an amazing director who got formed on european cinema, not some yes man troglodite
Oh shit, I’ll admit it’s been a good while since I’ve seen it. Good to hear.
I don't think you got the point of the movie Predator, my friend.
Yeah it’s been like 20 years since I’ve seen it
The end of this Call of Duty is teasing a 9/11 No Russian mission since Makarov is leading a crew to hijack a plane lololololol
>Mexico is a lawless wasteland where they just leave corpses rotting on the sidewalks and everyone has a gun. Why the fuck is Mexico like this in popular imagination WTF Motherfuckers be acting like it's Syria. Like it does get really bad but it's not Mad Max....
You forget more than 20 years of yellow filters and cartels as main villains
Its worse than Syria and more dangerous.
>oh and in one mission they straight up make you pop Hasan Piker live on stream. lol which mission was this?
Okay I’ll be honest that’s more of a prediction of where I think the story is headed.

Both the original and reboot mw1 games did this. This is a pretty common trope
Agreed. FYI that sub is mostly facetious and usually split between hate for Hasan and those that love him, the title is clickbait/a joke

Suddenly i’m interested in this game
They made another Modern Warfare 2? I think the original did irreparable damage to my pre-teen brain.
Yeah it’a Modern Warfare 2 2
“Who left the fridge open?”

хорошо мой друг. First Русский conversation! only 60 odd days into learning hahah
Hey congrats! That’s really all I remember from when I tried to learn Russian years ago, it’s my go to phrase. I changed to Spanish because I felt it would be more useful as an American. Unfortunately according to the MW2 documentary it seems I should’ve stuck with Russian as they will be invading us any day now.

It’s a very interesting language and also fairly simple to learn compared to others.
Yeah I finished the campaign today and it’s hilariously bad. There’s a PMC called shadow company whose CEO is called Phil Graves (im not joking) who appears to be based on Erik Prince and who is of course a badass operator who goes into battle with his mercenaries. Later on it turns out the shipping container ICBMs you’re looking for were being illegally shipped to some “good guys” by the US general who’s your boss, with help from the PMC, but they got ambushed and fell into the hands of the Russians who gave them to Soleimani’s brother and they betray you after you find out. At one point after that’s discovered, the US general says “to do good you have to do some bad” or some shit lol I don’t buy CoD for the campaigns though, just play multiplayer with the voice comms muted.
Yeah I like how they introduce the PMC with “their rules of engagement will let us dodge a lot of red tape” and then the actual mission where you play as the PMCs has the tightest rules of engagement in the entire fucking game. I failed it like 40 times for firing within 20km of a building.
Didn’t finish the campaign yet but I could see this coming a mile away, like from the very beginning lol
This sounds like the videogame equivalent of that Kingsman movie where Hitler and Lenin team up.
Which shooter franchise retold the highway of death absolving the US of a clear war crime? I hate this retcon shit so much.
This is the direct sequel to that game
I mean it’s not really a retcon it’s just lying and propaganda, right? Isn’t a retcon for fictional events?
That’s an interesting distinction, you might be right. Retcon is a clumsy portmanteau.
That's the first one. You also play as a young child in that game trying to hide from a Russian soldier who wants to war crime you

Nah it fucked me over too, shit was hard.
Took me about 10 minutes each on realism. If you have eyes and listen to comms it’s one of the easiest missions in the game.
>if you have eyes and listen Yeah there’s the problem. But damn dude that’s crazy you’re an epic gamer.
Generally being able to complete a COD campaign without trouble is considered bang average but you do you I suppose.
HASAN PIKER I'M COMING TO KILL YOU
In the ring, right? NO! IN REAL LIFE!
The game’s plot is hilariously stupid and incredibly lazy. There are quite a few scenarios/plot points which are directly copied versions from the original modern warfare series. The AC130 mission, Shepherd is bad/Shadow company storyline, and a ghillie suit mission where you have to keep still in a grassy field with Price while enemy troops walk by.
Ok but why would you pay for this?
Because laughing at absurd propaganda is one of the few joys I can find in this hell world.
That's fair. I still recommend using a VPN.
Oh yeah I pirate every game I can Edit: except for indie games and stuff. Gotta support the people who work outside the entrenched system.
Has it been cracked yet? I'm not paying those devs 70$ even if I had the money
Saw the trailer and was annoyed that it seems to rip off Sicario 2
Don't forget the Gina haspel character, joking about torture and glorifying her by portraying her going back into the field.
>oh and in one mission they straight up make you pop Hasan Piker live on stream. Do you play as Sam Hyde and drink wine from Hassan's skull "as did the ancient Irish?"
Obligatory Jacob Geller video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtCV421T52s It seems like after people called them out for Modern Warfare (2019), Infinity War thought that "What else do we have to lose?" and so chose to go full hog... And the scary thing is that they might have not made a bad choice.
How come other countries don’t have their own modern warfare games? Is there something in the UN Charter which says only America is allowed to make war videogames? I wanna play a game where Stalin invades Alaska, genocides the Canadians, and presses on until he reaches Miami where Castro is waiting for him
Super expensive to develop and the only reason this even makes money is the very solid multiplayer experience, not to mention all the warzone tie-ins, that’s where the money is at. The campaign has always been a very expensive and overproduced appetizer. But yes, please China make Battle at Lake Changjin: The Videogame and let me smoke Douglas MacArthur
I’m pretty sure China has its own versions of a lot of FPS shooters. NK has their own Mario kart game called Pyongyang Racer. I think it would’ve been hilarious had Castro ordered a Cuban version of Black Ops where you executed Kennedy. Considering a mission in the original black ops has you shooting “Castro” in the face. Edit: holy shit that would be dope I want a black ops mission where you actually get to do the Kennedy assassination.
This just a remaster of the like 2009 game right? With the infamous airport level?
Nope. Brand new game. Sequel to the Modern Warfare(2019) game.
There’s two “Modern Warfare 2”s?! lol how fucking lazy is that. lol
Extremely. But they really outdid themselves. It’s like twice as deranged as the first MW2.
I was going to buy the game for the Hasan part. Almost had me sold.
Activision should hire me I’ve got some really good ideas.
Is the multiplayer good though?
Idk Multiplayer is not out yet but going off the campaign it’ll be like MW2019. So if you liked that you should like it.
Ahhh ok. If they captured the magic of the original 2 MWs I would definitely buy. sadly I dont think theyll ever be able to achieve that again
Yeah. Honestly if twelve year olds aren’t hurling epithets at me I don’t think it’ll live up to the previous one.
I'm waiting for the Black Ops game where Woods finally realizes that every bad thing that happened to him after 1979 was because of Ronald Reagan.
The closest thing we’ll get is the mission In CoD: Cold War where Mason sucks off Reagan to completion and then spreads the presidential seed all over his face.
I just saw Sicaria 2: Day of the Soldado and it’s the same storyline. That movie has also been described as a Republican’s wet dream by other redditors lol. Entertaining and hilarious tho
Selling cheese for mw2 check my discord!
Selling cheese for mw2 check my discord!
Fuck off hacker scum.
shut up retard suck my dick
Lmao
Hated it and wish I had saved my cash. I hate games that pull the chase errand for you to prove you can chase crap. After failing it for 10th time sending me back I deleted the game. Side note the game is very beautiful and realistic.
Yeah the campaign was 5 hours of laughs for me, but deffo not worth the $70 admission. I’ll just read True Allegiance next time.
play Disco Elysium instead
I’ve played Disco Elysium probably 6 times now and I just finished a play through like 6 weeks ago.
The final part of Disco Elysium ruined the game for me, just felt rushed
This sounds so demented I may have to play it at some point
In 2022, 89 terrorists were found crossing the border and those were the ones who were caught imagine how many weren't caught? This has nothing to do with Tucker Carlson the cartels are literally working with terrorists, plus you can argue the cartels are terrorists. The only thing funny here is that people like you believe that when that's pointed out it's somehow some sort of right-wing conspiracy theory but it's literally what is happening. About 10 years ago the president of Iran went to Mexico to try and start up a friendship. Middle Eastern bad guys have a connection with Mexican bad guys that's not a secret.
So many paid Russian shills on this site. Why don't they go back home and join the fight in Ukraine.
Z
Yeah graves is obviously Erik Prince.
This is exactly the kind of post I was looking for rn lol. A terrorist getting smuggled into the U.S. by a Mexican cartel was the moment all immersion was broken for me. Then you have a fucking AC130 raining hellfire into Mexico like that’s not gonna raise fucking alarms lol. It’s fucking hilarious until you realize a generation of children have played these games and continue to play them and take them at face value and now their biggest dream in life is to kill someone. Then it just becomes fucking sad.
