Similar to how Medal of Honor: Rising Sun was a big hit in Japan?
Then again, they did make the 194X series...

Meh, I don't think the "outrage" is any more pronounced than any other nation's outrage at being portrayed as "the bad guys".Zixinus wrote:I actually find it pathetic that some Americans are so high on their sick horse that they cannot imagine a situation where their nation is the bad guy.
Yes, it was made by communist-nazis-facist-redscum-blahblahblah... So I would argue the same for the developers of the last few Modern Warfare games that was essentially a wankfest of an ultra-nationalist-on-lsd-while-watching-Red-Dawn-for-the-hundredth-time.
Then again, I wonder whether the "outrage" has any element of insecurity in it. After all, the USA invaded more countries in the last couple of decades than China, unless my history is way too off.
That's about it. It was pretty funny though, I always liked the OPFOR's weapons a lot more, the AK was vastly easier to use than the M16 and didn't have a random chance of jamming in a fight.Hawkwings wrote:Come to think of it, who are the OPFOR in America's Army?

Depends on the game. Earlier ones were generic Middle Easterners, Eastern Europeans, whatever depending on the map (I think; it's been a long time since I played). With America's Army III, they were from the fictional Eastern European country of......fuck it, I dunno. Generuskiestan? I think they switched over so there was less inconsistency with the guns and how the enemy always mysteriously fired their AKs on 3-round burst mode.Hawkwings wrote:So when you're playing multiplayer missions, does one team play as the Americans? Or do they do it America's Army style where each team sees themselves as the protagonists and the other team as opposing forces?
Come to think of it, who are the OPFOR in America's Army? Random paramilitary dudes with Russian equipment?
