I would totally play a game where my country was the bad guys, because I generally think that the ruling classes who start these bloody wars always are.
I don't have any more "loyalty" to the artificial construct that is my country than I do to the actual human beings every where else in the world, so I don't see the issue. I'd like it to be acknowledged that my ancestors and my country have done shitty things throughout history.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Bravo.badgersprite said:
As long as there is a reason within the story of the game for me to be killing Americans/American soldiers I'd play it, say if the game's story followed a soldier in the Viet Cong or a soldier in the Werchmacht [sp?] if it's just "For the lulz" I would not. To clarify, if there was a game where the player takes control of a member of the Taliban I want there to be a good story behind that, I don't want a poor excuse for a game where the only appeal is getting to kill Americans.
If they ever managed to make a game where my fellow CANADIANS are the villains...
HECK YEAH I'D PLAY THAT! I mean, I'd love to see how they'd manage that!
Assuming it's a competent studio in charge, and they won't go "Yeah, let's just make them become communist and all suddenly big assholes so we can shoot them". If they did that, then no, I wouldn't play it.
Otherwise, YES!

Well, actually, it's because the game would go like this:Jezzascmezza said:

OH FUCK SPIDERS! GIANT FUCKING SPIDERS! FFFFUUUU-"
Australia is a terrifying place.
I'd love an FPS game with America as the enemy for once, though it would be hard to rewrite history and replace the Nazis with yanks. (HIGH BROW JOKE AT THE NUMBER OF WW2 SHOOTERS)
Total War games are the closest to it, though. I've massacred entire civilisations in that game...
The real question is: why are you playing as the HRE?!GodsAndFishes said:

Company of Heroes tells the story of the huge role the Canadians had in Operation Windsor and Operation Charnwood, though the game was made by Relic, who're Canadians.StreetcarProphet said:
Yes although I'm yet to see a bad guy with a northern accent would probably be more of a minion voice I guess :<Generic Gamer said:
I don?t think I would care really, while I?m proud of my country I?m not particularly patriotic tho would be somewhat strange being that I live in NZ and our army is far too small to be the big bads in anything. Actually that would be awesome...bwhahaha fear us and out abundance of jandles and sheep! No one will ever see us coming.
