Commandeering the mexican special forces base was all in the means of setting up shop to proceed with the original operation between Shepherd and Graves. Detaining special forces had to of been done to avoid conflict and to avoid Alejandro gathering up everyone and trying to reconquer the place
your entire post makes no sense whatsoever. there was 0 "woke propaganda" in this game at all. just because you dont understand something, doesnt mean the big bad liberals are coming to steal your guns and turn your children gay. its amazing you people have any political pull seeing as you guys cant make an informed decision, or put the INCREDIBLY easy pieces together.
what makes your brain think that the leader of a special forces team that just had his entire base stolen from him, and his entire team detained as a bargaining chip from Shepard makes you think "woke propaganda"?????
Are you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kidding me? Conservatives are so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fragile and weird.
There is nothing """""fragile""""" with being able to read between the lines and notice things. You can't gaslight me into submission to your demoralization.
Nice private profile. You will never be a real woman.
lol. lmao even.
The characters' motivations make no sense in the context of the story, they just do what they have to do to force the plot along. It's bad writing.
Both mw2019 and mw22 are plagued with horrible writing. I shall now rant about it.
I was gonna do a full rant about mw2019, but I genuinely forgot mostly everything since nothing in it was worth remembering. Except that they blamed the Russians for a US war crime, and the game got banned in Russia for it. TBH I don't think the campaign of mw2019 is even required to play mw22 since nothing that happens effects the plot at all. Which just shows how directionless the writers were, and why they needed to copy the original mw trilogy when moving forward.
But one important thing is the lack of edge. They said they were going for a gritty, dark, and realistic tone, but then ignored that and had all the protagonists be good boys who never do anything wrong.
On to mw22. All the characters are just terrible. Lets start with the antagonists, to elaborate on the original post. Graves(and shadow company) is a PMC (private military company), which is already a massive letdown from the original mw2. He doesn't have any real stakes in the story. He's just paid by Shepard to be there. He steals the Mexicans base because he knew they would be against him going around killing civilians.
Shepard is just as bad as a character. His entire motivation is saving himself after he messes up. He has no real presence in the story despite being the reason the story happened. He straight up just leaves and goes missing at the end of the campaign.
For the protagonists, it's not much better. Sure they have some funny dialogue and quips, but they have no actual CHARACTER. Lets compare to the OG trilogy. In mw2019, one of the main themes of the story is "We get dirty, so the world stays clean". Which is a baller line. too bad its completely hollow.
In mw2019, the worst thing you and price directly do is torture a guy and threaten his family, but never actually hurt them. Meanwhile in og mw2, task force 141 tortures a guy and acts like its a normal Tuesday. The action heroes of the og mw trilogy embrace the themes of mw2019, more than the actual protags of mw2019. And that trend is continued into mw22.
The stupidest thing I've ever seen in a video game, was a bunch of British special forces, and a PMC, go and capture a KNOWN TERRORIST, and then LET HIM GO, because they "didn't have enough proof", despite having plenty of proof, and NOT NEEDING IT, since its a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ OFF THE BOOKS CIA MISSION. They BLEW UP and ENTIRE MEXICAN TOWN, for this guy, and let him go.
It completely contradicts the themes of the game. Why didn't they "get dirty so the world stays clean"? Why didn't Graves, the PMC, not bound by normal military rules, kill the guy for them? He's obviously not against killing people for small reasons. It's completely nonsensical.
TLDR: What has 2 legs and bleeds? Half a dog.
Well Valeria being the drug lord itself was kinda woke, not to mention how she is portrayed as so easily beating up on guys likely much stronger than her. And the whole anti-Russia plot of the game plays into the popular view among the woke these days who are constantly demonizing Russia or accusing people of working with Russia.
Something else that didn't really make sense to me though was that the game seemed to portray Al Qatala (seemingly a reference to the real world Al Qaeda)... as fighting alongside Hassan and the Iranians, doesn't it? That itself doesn't really make any sense at all because Al Qaeda is generally a Sunni group that is or was somewhat friendly with Saudi Arabia (a Sunni nation), while Iran is a Shia nation that is at odds with both Saudi Arabia and Al Qaeda IRL. So the story itself doesn't really seem to make sense in light of actual contemporary middle eastern history, because these Shia and Sunni groups have been fighting each other and in general don't like each other.
Iran being associated with the Russians could make sense however, as this generally matches the real world history of diplomacy in the middle east going on between Russia and Iran.
Honestly? It was so forced that Graves suddenly just turns on everyone and suddenly everyone ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ protects the Cartel? WTF? Alejandro was about the ONLY one with any loyalists not bound to the damn cartel and their big mouth b****. God I wanted to just shoot her. She is pure evil, even Hassan is less twisted because with that guy you can always blame that American interventions in the ME region made him into what he is but Valeria is just a cartel leader and a greedy person.
Why Graves had to be a baddy was a bit off to me. Rather let the guy survive and make him a "greyzone" that you sometimes have to fight, sometimes have to fight with cause...after all he is a PMC owner. Also much more interesting than some cartel hag or cookie cutter Russian baddies or terrorists.
