I'd want to play the nazi's in from the 'iron sky' universe [link]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KEueJnsu80[/link] I mean, nazi's come to take revenge in UFO's. Gotta love that.
I think attacking America in a game is all fine and dandy as long as the only reason It's even happening isn't to start controversy. A "play as the bad guys!" game isn't really all that appealing to me and I'd like at least some plausible reason for shooting Marines. And no, "because they blow up real good" isn't a plausible reason.
i already have an idea. American economy is fucked so they decide to invade siberia to nick all the ruskies oil. the cold conditions make them lose every battle against the russians,but somehow, take over most of siberia. now america is a power hungry empire wanting war. they threaten japan with nuclear war so the japs surrendur. now its up to the american rebel force, ( good american civilians ) the SAS the spetznaz and the japenese rebels to destroy the empire.
its all fictional. slightly futuristic warfare its in the year 2020
but the fox propaganda machine will crush my idea no matter what. hell, i even know the development stages, which engine to use but im not gonna go with the advanced stuff. now yes, lets kill some evil american army dudes! as american rebels perhaps?

I'd personally like to see America go power crazy, world war 3 starts and the nukes are flying, so the game takes place in that 24 hr time period before the nukes land.. Your actions make the games ending..
I kinda went OT there, but yeah, I would like a vs. America game. Even a game that has you as either the Americans, or whatever other major power you like and as the enemy.

I think an interesting take on the America vs. Russia military shooter would be to switch between perspectives of each army. While playing as an American, you would learn about your army's faults and strengths, and also when playing as a Russian. Eventually, the armies would clash head on, and you would have to choose which side to take during the climactic end battle. If the game was done right, this would be a difficult decision.
Yes, I realize that this idea was sort of done in CoD 5

We can't have it because it would sell brilliantly, except in America, where the population would be divided. You'd have the fearmongering, 'terrorists hate us because of our freedoms'-spewing, 'that's unamerican and anything unamerican is wrong'-shouting, Fox News-watching, fundamentalist christian right-wing fucktards screaming and throwing a tantrum like never before, spitting bile and frothing at the mouth, screaming 'TRAITOR!' at any other American who decided that they might wanna play it/talk about it online/look it up one one of the non-church-approved websites, and so that would deter people, and you'd also have these same fucktards screaming that 'durr hurr everyone hates America'... and at this point, they'd be right.
You just answered your own question. The losing side is against the odds, so successfully completing anything becomes a reward in itself. Just look at Battlestations Midway and it's Japanese missions.smythn said:
Here's a few of the games I can think of you can play as the "Bad Guys" outside of multiplayer which in my opinion doesn't really count.
1. Operation Flaspoint, FPS, One of the 3 campaigns features you playing as the Russians Vs the Americans fighting over some tiny island.
2. Hearts of Iron 1,2,3. Grand Strategy. You can play as the leader of any nation in the world from 1936 and lead your country through world war 2 and a few years following. Germany are one of, if not the most fun nations to play as in this, and it literally puts you in the position of
Hitler conquering the world.
3. Men of War, RTS, one of the campaigns puts you as a officer under Rommels campaigns fighting their greatest victories in North Africa.
4. Panzer Aces etc etc. Any World War II tank sim worth it's salt will feature German tanks driven by German soldiers shooting Allied vehicles.

That wouldn't work.
You barely even see movies where the "good/bad guys" VS America, let alone a game.
Remember, film is a much more socially accepted form of entertainment than gaming.
A "VS America" shooter would therefore not work.

I'd play a North Korea vs America game. Even though I'm personally very left wing, I'd like to have the game so that America is scared to attack Korea due to the potential liberal media backlash, and taking advantage of this situation, NK nuke various cities in the US, and you fight as communist landing parties in these famous cities, gunning down civilians.
Now that game WONT get released
(ps I'm not a sicko or anything, I just think it's healthy to get away from this idea of "safe gaming" that the big corporations are existing in currently, out of fear. Instead of tip toe-ing around the game haters, and those that want video games banned, we should go all out, and proudly boast that art shouldn't be censored. Then let the courts argue whether or not games are art, as opposed to every other thread on the escapist)

I'd love to play as a Nazi in a WW2 shooter, but that's mainly because I would want to hear them speak German.
In other words: I've no problem with playing the "enemy" in a 1st/3rd person shooter.

why does it even need to be America? we could set the game in a parallel universe with a global super power flexing its muscles and invading everyone else when they feel like it. (like the stereotypical American bad guys)
you could play a as a guerilla fighter trying to defeat the occupiers. the gameplay would be a mix of assassins creed (without parkour), splinter cell and a sniper game. missions would be the usual sneak in plant bomb/kill leader/steal plans kind of thing. think about the kinds of thing that are usually in a film about the French resistance.
while some straight out shooting sprees could be started they would always be a tactical retreat - it would be impossible to kill all the enemy and stroll home without anyone caring.
