I hate game Americans, and I'm talking about the vast majority of modern military shooters, the formula is usually America takes a minor beating, then they go over to some foreign country and massacre everything that moves with their heavy ordnance which vastly overpowers the enemy and all of them have that horrible attitude of "Fuck yeah, freedom and democracy!"

I love Call of Duty 4 because it still has that but it shows that going in to wipe everything out will cause disaster (the nuke), and I love Spec Ops because you realise that the biggest danger isn't the foreigners you spent the last three missions killing (that's a legitimate reason as well).

I'd like a legitimate reason to kill all these foreigners as well, there's no reason in say Black Ops II to go Yemen with your kill droids and start mowing people down while they scramble to find cover. The point of the mission was to capture Menendez but instead you wipe out half a town full of Yemen's people, and the enemies you face (in the first half) are from Yemen because hurting the US military is a big no no, even though it makes more sense to use American soldiers.

In-game Americans are like what Nazis were in WWII Shooters to me now, I can rid the gaming-world of as many of them as I like and it won't harm my psychosis. The British are closely following in their footsteps too.

In fact yeah, that's basically what I'm saying. In video gaming, Americans are the new Nazis, except we are playing as them. Call it fucked up but in games I'd like to be the people fighting the all-powerful murder machine rather than operating it's handles.
