is call of duty propaganda

[Wenda]

like on its own? I know recruiters use it to try and get kids into the army or whatever branch, but without that does it still promote the us military

What was that Cod game that passed the "road of the death" for a Russian army warcrime, when factually, historicaly, that was an american sin ?

Didn’t “Call of Duty: World at War” let you play as the Russians?

And Black Ops 2 in the mission “Achilles Veil“ you play as the “Opposing Forces”.

i mean modern, or i guess becoming more influenced by the military over time

I only play CoD for zombie mode, I couldn't care less about the regular mode. I have no desire to join the army and no recruiter has attempted to try and get me to join the military by playing Call of Duty Zombies.

You're just ignorant to it.

The fact that you know how to reload guns you've never held- CHILDREN, have never held- that's just scratching the surface of the problem. You're still slaughtering humanoid figures for "fun"

It's been ingrained in us that this what entertainment looks like- incessant violence. It's indoctrination whether you choose to see it or not

i dont know what youre arguing about what

Ha, my thanks for that.

So, "modern" CoD games could be intrepreted as propaganda, arguably - but that one sequence of MW2019 is.

I don't consider these games as propaganda.

The consumers of these games demand more and more realism in these games, which also means having somewhat realistic scenarios or historically accurate ones. Just look at the drama and controversy surrounding Battlefield V, if you remember.

For it to appear more realistic, the story or setting has be drawn from current or historial conflicts.

Having realistic scenarious can thus be seen as propaganda, but I find that a wrongful intepretation.

The fact is they need a realistic conflict, which means you're either on side A or on side B in the game (your side vs the enemy). Regardless of which side you get to play in the game, you can see the game as propaganda for your side's ideology. It's an unavoidable, natural or logical outcome though, of being on one side of a conflict. It doesn't mean that the games were made as propaganda pieces.

I think people interested in joining the military would already be drawn to these kinds of games, I don't think these games makes more people want to become soldiers.

My impression is that the vast majority of people who play games like CoD and Battlefield, see them more as an e-sport than a combat simulator.

Yes, it is propaganda. It is also trash.

Last good COD was COD2, unfortunately.

[Metalnot]

Pro-‘Murica usually, but then you also have Modern Warfare 3 unintentionally being Russian propaganda by portraying them as being way stronger than they turned out to be IRL.

MW3 Russia: Occupies US Eastern Seaboard (right after having a civil war no less), then rapidly overruns most of Europe right after that.

Russia IRL: Can’t overrun a neighboring country it had already been de-facto at war with for like eight years.

You were born a blank slate- the only reason you think it's awesome is because you were told it's awesome. Same reason you speak English, or like the music you grew up around, or know the people that you do. It's all a product of your environment. If you had grown up with everyone learning agriculture and non-warfare engineering, you'd have different passions and views of what "awesome" are

nuh uh making zombies heads go pop will always be awesome
