I think he's supposed to be the bad guy. I think you're supposed to stop him but I could be wrong.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 9430242 Yeah, that's the impression I get, too. Still, they decided to include this quote in the launch trailer for the game, knowing that millions of people would see it due to Call of Duty's immense popularity. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58572028 It's possible that they put this in to create the very reaction you're having to it. They want you to be angry at this character and convince you to buy the game so you can defeat him. What if these games aren't meant to trick people in to believing that a police state is good and instead make these characters out to be the bad guys to reinforce the idea that this is wrong? Quoting: Undonegun Maybe, but it's not convincing me personally to buy the games. I haven't touched Call of Duty since probably 2010. It seems like carefully placed dialogue as a force of suggestion to me, but again, that's just my opinion. I'd like to believe that, I really would. But I'm relatively convinced that TPTB have their hands in all forms of media, video games not excluded. Why wouldn't they integrate their ideas for mental conditioning in these medium when they do every other medium? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58572028 They easily could have their hands in everything. But it could just as easily be paranoia that leads you to think this way. Think about it like this. In a lot of games, we use Russia, China, or North Korea as the enemy. They add a realistic enemy to the game but also condition the player to see them as the real life enemy. So why then would making a power hungry elitist an enemy condition people that they are the good guys?
