Would you play CoD if the roles were reversed?

I'd play it!

An invasion of America would be interesting. The patriotic bullshit with which the CoD series presents itself with is one of the reasons I never got on the whole CoD bandwagon. Let those American warmongers feel what it's like to be invaded!

In COD WaW , I loved playing the Japanese in Multiplayer, it was so funny to hear them shout SHIT GRENADE! or GET IT OFF ME GET IT OFF ME ! or HE'S NOT GOING DOWN ! Right after they've been calling themselves "Fucking badass" or "A One Man Army"

But that was more because its' fun to shoot obnoxious frat boys than because it's fun to play "the bad guy"

I don't think COD campaigns would be made any more interesting by going down the "Russia, fuck yeah" route, or the "China, fuck yeah" one.

America isn't the problem, it's the fuck yeah attitude that's keeping the genre down.

Well stated. Honestly though I am not sure I know anyone who plays Shooters for the story. In Halo it was fun to see the set pieces and perhaps the story worked for some people.

Modern shooters though seem to be more concerned with the action than the story, which definitely compromises the quality of the game.

How bout we drop america all together . How about a fictional war between australia and Great britain ? We could have naval battles , air battles , and kangeroo boxing . I'm tired of the U.S periode . And where the fuck is Canada in all this?

That sounds awesome. And thank you for noticing Canada. That was my biggest problem with Homefront (4 hour SP campaign not withstanding...), that Canada and Mexico would just let North Korea waltz in and take over the States. Please.

Why go all the way to Great Britain when the Aussies are right next door to New Zealand? Just have the war start over a rugby disagreement and the utter diplomatic failure of our leaders, and from there it's a fun romp all over the two nations and a struggle for control over all the beer breweries. All the troops on both sides know what a crock the whole thing is, but fight on if only for the promise of a new national holiday.


Best of all- both nations have the same second-hand US equipment, so the odds are perfectly balanced!
