I saw the trailer on the Xbox showcase today and holy shit is it blatant unfiltered propaganda. They have a whole extraction game mode that takes place on the DMZ and if I understand it correctly it is just Tarkov but you fulfill the Amerikkkan power fantasy of killing DPRK citizens, since doing a genocide on them was not enough.

The empire really doesn’t care anymore and will just pump out the most blatant propaganda possible and no one will bat an eye.

    at least then in multiplayer I could play as the ‘bad guys’ (anti-imperialists)

    The original Modern Warfare, playing as Spetsnaz and being greeted on the victory screen by the anthem of the USSR stalin-feels-good

    Even as a kid without any context at all, hearing that theme definitely planted a seed at the back of my mind that these guys were cool.
