User Banned (2 Weeks): Xenophobic Commentary and Trolling Over Multiple Posts; Accumulated Infractions
The modern entries in the Call of Duty franchise has always incorporated complex issues into the narrative of the game.
COD4 had the explored these concepts:
-status quo corrupt institutions vs a populous, radical, anti-globalist factions in both the Middle East and Russia.
Modern Warfare 2 had:
-Fake news (Americans shooting up Russian airport) escalating a nation to violent response.
-Hardline patriots doing treason and doing unethical things for the good of the country.
Modern Warfare 3 had:
-Moderates in factions, if given chance to regain power, can bring about world peace.
Based on the newest Modern Warfare trailer, critics can rest easy knowingly that IW will knock it out of ballpark with its representation of the state of affairs in NOT Syria.
The Modern Warfare franchise was deserving of its reputation as provider of deep and nuanced portrayal of international relations and geopolitics. There is no better candidate of a studio to explore the divisive issues, inconsistencies, and conflicts in current American society than Infinity Ward.
The list of themes that a police themed Call of Duty can explore:
The war on drugs, and the presence of Cartel activity in the US
Mass shootings
Armed alt-right militia groups + domestic terrorists.
A corrupt president that intentionally acts above the law for personal gain.
Interference by foreign actors.
Social media's capability in encouraging acts of violence.
Imagine a game in which you play as a sheriff defending a border town against Southern invaders, a SWAT team clearing an apartment of gangsters, a security guard trying to prevent domestic terrorists from shooting up a college, a FBI agent getting trapped in hostile alt-right self-determined country, and a national guard soldier defending US infrastructure from an attack by Russian sponsored PMCs or some group of mooks that have convenient excuse to be well armed and trained.
People say that the best movies can be understood in better light if taken in context the state of the world during in the era in which it was made. Infinity Ward if they can properly treat the themes I listed with respect and subtleness can make a game that'll stand the test of time. It'll be in the upper echelons of media like Citizen Kane, Wizard of Oz, Dr. Strangelove.
