Uhh sure maybe not terrorists but hey blowing up NYC traffic could be rather carthatic.
(This is coming from an America by the way)
Then again even though Russia ends up being the "Big Bad",
We don't really go around blowing up The Motherland is Calling statue now do we?
Aka keep the conflict out of america and it's ok.

This. If MW3 is about Price, Soap and Nikolai on the run from the US, chances are we'll be fighting US SpecOps. Let us shoot Alecx Mason?josemlopes said:
While we're helped by Reznov?
Controversial SAS vs SpecOps game?
ACTUAL STEALTH?
Crazy setpieces?
Amazing crossover?
Please?
Bad guys in their very nature have to lose, no one will pay to play a game where they can't win...
And like many others have said, no company has the balls to try and tackle the guaranteed controversy that'd be associated with a title like it.
And again, like others have said, in the senarios you're talking about, i.e: the Viet Cong or the Taliban They weren't the 'bad guys' Everyone on each side of a war is fighting for an ideal.
Both sides perceive themselves as the 'good guys' so... So in order to make the game you'd have to show these people in the positive light, which I don't think american (or european) audiences are ready to handle at this time.

As long as the game is fun and awesome, I'll play as the effing neo-Nazis.
Of course, I am well aware that said lunatics are terrible people, so...

That, and IW made the reasoning for doing so somewhat legitimate. Sure, we'd never heard of Gen. Shepard during COD4, but his motivations and ruthlessness was believable.josemlopes said:
I definitely agree. I've been playing Bad Company recently, and although it's quite funny, I feel no desire to kill Russians. They're just supposed to be the generic bad guys without even any explanation. I find it quite ridiculous. I always preferred to play as the Soviets in Red Alert anyway. I think another Bad Company type game should be made where the Americans are the generic enemy.
@Brockyman - depends what your beliefs are, I'm pretty sure jihadists think they are the good guys as well.
In my entire life of playing computer games I'm sure I've killed more americans than any other nationality seeing as most non-war games are entirely populated by them. Even most of the aliens I've killed through countless games seem to have american accents.
To those of you saying that shooting at american soldiers in a game would be somehow reprehensible; have you ever played a GTA game?
Justifying the shooting of american soldiers in a wargame has got to be slightly easier than justifying the killing of countless american cops because they got the hump when you mowed down some old american lady when you took a corner too quick.

If done properly, I'd play it.
And they do NOT need to scream: You can kill americans, else it'll be destroyed by Oprah and Ellen and all those I-don't-give-a-fuck-about shows.
I mean, does it really matter in MoH wether you play as "Red team", Taliban of OpFor?

How about a game where America invades Iran and you get to be an Iranian special ops dude who helps to liberate his country.
Well, most of the countries against us don't really have any particularly large gaming companies. Not like I would care if there was a game where you played against my country, but still. Anyway, I highly doubt the US would make such a game against themselves, but life is full of sunrises I guess. Gaming companies would also get a lot of shit from parents if they made games like that. You guys probably remember the airport level in Modern Warfare 2. I wouldn't have a problem playing a game like that though. In most multiplayer games I just play for fun anyway, I pay little attention to who I am playing as. (Battlefield for example)
