When a war game comes out that involves New Zealand at all....then I'll play it. If you can choose to have NZ as the bad guys, even better!

the game wasn't really anti Russia they just responded to an attack i think if a bunch of civilians got shot up on our turf we would probably do the same thing and makarov already knew that Allen was undercover he just played along to turn America into his scapegoat they were never allies. To answer your question yes because it really does not matter to me because i kill the Americans in multilayer all the time

I've thought for ages that what the world really needs is a game where Australia tries to blow up New Zealand or something stupid evil like that. I mean seriously, why do devs insist on rehashing the same heros and villains every time when there's pure gold to be made on games set down under?

Well, as an American I hafta say, I think perhaps the Indian wars were the only time we were ever really the 'bad guy'. Sure, there have been a few instances here and there where we veered toward the darker end of gray, especially in Vietnam and Iraq, but even in those wars for the most part the people we've fought were at least as bad as us, if not worse.

It would be really hard at this point to make a game in which the Americans were the bad guys that didn't come across as preachy and ignorant of America's motivations. It's possible, and if somebody did it I'd totally play it, but I don't see it happening. Other than that, the only real options are the Indian wars or one of the grayer wars from the other point of view. I'd actually totally play that. Sadly that seems rather likely to be unpopular in America, which would certainly hurt sales, so again I'm going to have to say while I would enjoy it, it isn't likely to happen.

So yeah, I'd play the right game where my country is the bad guy, except that I don't see that game happening in the foreseeable future.

Murka? Evil? Impossibru!

If I was forced to play as some Godless terrorist Nazi Jew communist against the American machines of God's will, I would find the highest ranking officer and blow myself up with my grenade so as to take him and as many other heathens down with me.

I would love to play a game in which the United States is not only the biggest dicks in the room but they've been called out on it and are also the enemies you have to fight/kill. In the end you're still just going to be killing piles of 1's and 0's

America could never be the bad guys because no developer would have the balls to make them the bad guys - imagine the sales they'd lose.

OT: I'd play as someone fighting against the British.

If you're so "patriotic" that you can't even play a game in which you fight your own country then you're a pathetic moron.

Considering Ireland's neutral it looks like we won't be going to war any time soon.

Besides, if we were playing a historicaly accurate game about our War of Independence, it would be impossible for us to be the bad guys, everyone knows the British were. Ooh, controversy.
Besides, if I did play a game like that the Mrs would lynch me for being a "traitor" :p

Note: I have nothing against British people, just their 700 years of oppression.
