Hello there

The "bad" guys in movies and games change depending on thecurrent zeitgeist.

For a while it was Russia then SA now Iran. Remember Rambo2 (3?) and the glorious mujahadeen? Things change.

But just because Iran is the "bad" guy in two games doesnt make it true in real life.

I wouldnt read anything into it.

Rgds

LoK
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.The 3 is just to tell which game it is in line easier.And battlefield 3 is about iran?I played multiplayer BF3 and it was Russia vs USA?And arma 3 is about iran?Its whole campaign is about a device that can trigger earthquakes not about a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ country in the middle east.

Every country does it, first thing a government needs to do to justify going to war with that country. Their not people they are evil monsters that want to kill you, Iran does the same thing to the U.S.
Yeah every country showes propaganda down peoples throats.

Having an antagonist or "Bad Guy" does not make them evil. Like said before, the enemies of them make them out to be evil so the public will support the war effort rather than think the war is completely wrong and go against it.

Even in cases where nations have made another nation out to be a hostile nation(Cold War), there are still people who believe they aren't.

In this case people view them as evil due to the current political climate surrounding Russia and Iran(I would lump in China, but they are viewed in a less hostile way these days). As for ARMA 3, I don't think BI really made them look evil at all, they just look like an enemy faction.

The only thing that may look evil about them(In ARMA 3) is in my eyes is their dehumanization due to their uniforms(Which is often what many countries aim for, make their soldiers look like terrifying warriors rather than a human fighting a war).



The countries in the modern day aren't really considered evil either, just opposing sides that want different things. Such as I don't care much for Iran's goal of gaining nuclear weapons(They are a danger to us all, but it is a necessity given others have them too), but I understand that their intentions are not evil and to maintain parity with other nations that may have nuclear capabilities(Israel). Anyway I don't want to start a political argument(Feel free to correct me, but don't jump on my case).

Yea its nice when not only US and Russia have the nukes but its also nice if they dont fall into the hands of madmen who start a nuclear war.

I doubt Iran would ever do that. Despite both being Islamic(ISIS takes Islam into a whole new level at that), Iran would never consider such an option of selling a nuclear weapon to them. That and religious governments of the same religion doesn't mean they would ever trust them or ally with them.

Losing a nuclear weapon sounds to be pretty unlikely as well. If a nuclear weapon were to ever be stolen, you can bet there would be a ground invasion(Just about everyone would pitch in fully at that point).

@Stonecrusher wtf ? sell nukes to isis ? dude your commnet was legendary

@Sunset Shimmer (Daz) isis is terrorist just with islamic theme

the problem is the govenment of iran want be Radical Islam, like suadi arabia but our people ((Especially young people's like me )) dont want it becuase you know it why (( maybe ))

for exmple trump ban iranian people becuase he want deal with terrorist , if he want deal with terrost he should ban arabian people not persian poeple , read history you cant find any iranian terrorist in the world all the terrorist in this wolrd just is arab or from afaghanistan or from pakistan ..

Quite aware. Terrorist or a legitimate government, it is beside the point when comparing that they are both religious powers. They want to set up an Islamic government where they rule over just like the terrorists known as the Taliban(Which they did).

The reason I mentioned government as that would be the only similarity(And only in name as their version is not compatible with Iran).

I don't think anyone here has called Iran terrorist in this thread. Honestly most people don't even think of Iran as terrorist, they are a legitimized government which has not commited acts that would be labeled as terrorism.

Are you stupid? Why would Iran (a Shi'ite Muslim country) sell a weapon of mass destruction to a Salafist Sunni terrorist group like ISIS (and if you aren't aware, ISIS labels Shi'ite Muslims as traitors and exterminates them)? The first thing ISIS will do is chuck it at Tehran and kill the ayatollah (leader of Iran and very well respected Shi'ite Islamic figure).

Thats not accurate. The nationality of the actual attacker is far less significant than the sponsor/support. Iran is engaged in terrorism support globally. Hezbollah for example. Iran's absurd rhetoric is also a problem. Do you think western powers will be ok with Iran gaining nuclear weapons when the Ayatollah is leading "death to america/isreal" chants?

Arma 3 is fictional. CSAT is not Iran, but rather an Eastern coalition with Iran/China/Russia.

Saudi Arabia didn't make the list.
The US wouldn't happen to be in bed with them by any chance?

I do not suggest that US or any other country is innocent. Just that the statement that Iran does not contribute to terrorism is completely false. There is plenty of blame to go around.
