My thoughts on cod and its protagonists: There soldiers and in recent call of duty's they've been elite forces; they do not need to be complex characters they simply do what they are trained to do and that it react to a situation. They see no problem in killing anyone who is a threat. Sure it would be interesting to fight a non (islam/comniform vs USA) war fighting as eg Burmese soldier or Bosnian muslim or even the "enemy". Treyarch's idea of having a voiced npc is a good one as silent soldiers on the battlefield is a silly notion. Cod is not a realistic game and playing an entire game killing only a few people would not be in the franchises heart and the games are usually take place in big conflicts. Cod will not change and mod into what fans want due to the director and publisher. The fault is EA's other companies for not using their brains and not producing different games eg realistic shooters instead copying cod fighting the same boring wars.
Making CoD protagonists interesting.

Maybe not, but it's not like we're likely to get anything more. I'm trying to focus on things they might actually do. I could picture them making a mission with a modern female soldier as the protagonist or a whole campaign about the 100 infantry. I can't really picture them making a game with good writing and character development.Calcium said:
Female soldiers exit. Female combat soldiers generally don't. And when we're talking about a voiceless pair of hands, the gender isn't particularly important.
Then again, I don't see why they need to be interesting. It's an FPS, the whole point being that you're a faceless soldier in the middle of a war much bigger than you.

No, not really.RobCoxxy said:
I can distinctly remember him speaking in the first mission, when he jumped the plane.
Or when you shot... ahem... you know who.

Nah, that's Mason speaking at the end of that clip.
I think.
Mason does have frequent lines throughout the game. Not of shakespearean length / scope but he does speak. However, it may be difficult to hear him over the pew pews and 'splosions.
