In 2009...

The PLA has ZERO (0) personnel at all levels that have any combat experience whatsoever. Any random muzzie terrorist outfit has more combat experience than any chink general. You're genuinely retarded if you think China is ready for war.

It's their turn to invade Afghanistan to get some combat experience.

What the fuck did the Afghans ever do to become the world's invasion hotspot?

it definitely could

Nah, invading any country is extremely difficult, let alone a superpower like the US. War is hard

no idea but it keeps happening for over 2500 years

They should invade Taiwan to get some XP.

The game is based around the scenario of Putin using the real russian army and not trying to minimize civilian damage in a glorified swat operation.

freedom fighters? that's alternative history though

the creators didn't actually believe it

that's what you're wrong, everybody fell for Russia's muh stronk bear propaganda back then

trying to minimize civilian damage

The companies that sold them? They're just supposed to be popcorn premises for shooty video games, schizo

He can though? A couple well prepared fpv teams can destroy most of US army, considering how far behind it is in tactics and EW

So is Russia scary and evil or incompetent this week? I can't keep up with globohomo narratives.

russia would get its ass kicked in a war but itd still be a messy situation

Now that I think about it, Western game company has been using Russia as big bad since Red Alert in 1996.
I wonder what do average Russians think about that.

You now discover the myths and propaganda spread by the military-industrial complex to keep themselves in business and justify massive budgets by creating boogiemen out of other countries.

They're a paper tiger militarily, but they have nukes. Both can be true at the same time.

I should replay the og mw trilogy tbqhwy

hmm I wonder why they would include these stories in best selling wide appeal video games if the creators didn't actually believe it was a logistically feasible premise?

In the case of homefront it was a matter of a last minute change. Originally it was actually be supposed to be China that invades the US in that game, but EA at the time was trying to expand into China or whatever and they didn't want to piss of the CCP so they made the studio change it to something else. China invading the US is still a fairly ridiculous concept but it's something someone could reasonably believe, unlike with North Korea.

The US are the good guys and your commie shithole are the bad guys sorry ivan/ling ling/alberto or wherever you come from

cope

lol

what could have been if putin wasn't a total retard with malignant kleptomania

Being stuck in the globohomo timeline sucks.

obvious glowie or just plain moron

2025

commie

Amerimutt's education.

in 2009, people thought that russia was not only capable of attacking the United States but that their army could actually occupy parts of America

The only people who thought this were actual fucking retards though

This isn't even a question of russia's competence, they factually and literally have never had the hardware that would enable any kind of invasion of the US, at all, ever, through the entire history of the country. Not in 1945, not in 1980, not today. They do not have any force projection over sea. They can invade europe, but they would never be able to invade north america.

If you thought otherwise you are probably a dumbass boomer that doesn't know shit about fuck

But if we assume they are the bad guys but at the same time are absolutely incompetent, as shown in fucking up in Ukraine for 3 years, why do we need to spend trillions on anti russia measures?

You mean the US from 2009 or the US from 2025 that got a carrier group chased off by Houthis?
Given how retarded and shitty america is now I could see Russia having a shot if they didn't pussyfoot around like they did with Ukraine.
Really though your option is China and Russia.

I wonder what do average Russians think about that.

Look up the whole J-12 thing from the Modern Warfare demake.

No one thought that. Russia doesn't mind being a villain in games or movies they think it's flattering. With China you risk a major diplomatic incident and boycotts if you do it.

shouldn't you guys be crying about the latest CIA psyop or something? Taiwan belongs to US btw.

Because we as Americans have an obligation to be frothing worshippers at the altar of death at all times

*trying* being the operative word. Slavs are retarded.

Military leader

Isn't he the prime minister or something? Wouldnt it be on the generals and shit?

Give them slightly more credit.
Chinks and Indeets have been fighting with sticks and stones like cave men at their border for years.

Yeah dude there are fucking feds monitoring threads on Anon Babble specifically to swoop in and shit-talk anyone who suggests Red Dawn homages in vidya aren't done with complete belief in their realism, fuckn hell

nobody cares about offending the russian market cause it's tiny
china's is massive

Retard it is.

goalpost

Yup, a certified amerimutt moment

You know Russia isn't the only country the US is worried about militarily right, like there's another big one right south of them

Well that and Russia doesn't make anything. What are they gonna do stop selling oil?

Year 4 of the 3-day special military operation

If you travel by land from Europe to Asia via the Middle East, you'll pass through Afghanistan and the other -stan derivatives. This made it worthwhile to have military presence there to establish trade routes, hence conflict with the natives and rival empires.

Russians seethe at Brits continuously online

despite being in a war with Ukraine

who is supported by the US

legacy of communism, ruins the brain.

They seethe at everyone. I witnessed them seething at fucking Serbia of all countries.

hmm I wonder why

I wonder why you created this thread Ivan

People thought

Nobody believed that even back then.

Modern Warfare games were written for dipshits, but it's pretty obvious the writers were in on the joke.

Certified Anon Babbleino if you ask me

Is it good? Homefront is shit

lol
lmao even

You mean the one whose buildings start to fall a decade after being built?

My favourite twist was when Russia, who was in a bitter fight with the USA at the time, decided to invade literally all of Europe in the third one

Everyone on the down low knows that Call Of Duty is a 'Micheal Bay' video game, not meant to be taken seriously. They mocked the idea of Russia traversing the oceans mostly unimpeded and invading the states, and then still having enough forces back home to invade Europe.
And that was after a horrific gas attack that killed millions across the continent.

Homefront the Revolution is mediocre. Unless you find the premise entertaining enough, and find Far Cry 3 gameplay in a full urban environment interesting like I did, there is nothing for you.

That's the USA though.

Unless you find the premise entertaining enough

It would be if you were playing as the invaders.

I really want a game about invading the USA. The closest I ever got was that one sequel to Wolfenstein.

It's a good enough story even if you know it's complete bullshit

It's really not, but it's also inherently part of the issue of trying to write a story about a underdog hero fighting a invading army when you are trying to sell it to the most powerful and military dominant country in the world.

Normally you just make up countries, but Call of Duty is pretty much exploitation so it's playing off real world imagery to appear more edgy.

Russia only ever stood a chance in the total annihilation scenario where they'd go all out with nukes, they can't handle any other kind of warfare.

A russian people really believing this shit?

but they have nukes

and who should launch the nukes? 1/3 of the strategic bombers is gone now

No one thought that. It was just presented in media that way because the writers and "creatives" were either in the pocket of those who actually did have some military capability, or they were leftist faggots who didn't want to "offend" the groups they think needed protecting from being offended.

Remember that time SOUTH AMERICA was the enemy superpower?

Just as laughable but you had to give that one props for originality

Yeah, every since Battlefield 4 was banned in China they stopped making China enemies in video games. Even last Captain America movie is about US vs Japan rivalry when it was clearly supposed to be US vs China.

Their state run propaganda network has produced some absolute gold, I can only assume that much like the audience of some of the more trashy news media in the West, people who want to believe horseshit believe it readily

It's more realistic now then it was then. Russia has faced the best weapons of the world and overcome them. America couldn't even win against cavemen. Betrayed the trust of the countries they liberated, left them to die and be enslaved by the enemy, who it now pretends are representatives of the countries.

they were a conglomerate and russia and the us were collapsing resource wise i think

Nobody remembers Ghosts

scary

Nuclear deterrence is scary, yes, especially when the launch codes are in the hands of retards

Evil

Eh, they're slavs. That's all.

Incompetent

How many weeks in are we in the two day special operation?

The 2/3 that's left?

anti-chinese movies stopped in the 70s when China was allowed to take RoCs seat in the UN

anti-russian movies and games just ramped up after the USSR fell

you'd think it would be the other way around

I liked the campaign mostly because I'm a sucker for stealth missions
but honestly all of the spanish speaking countries south of border teaming up and become a super power isn't exactly far fetched
the only thing keeping them divided is literally soccer and drug cartel, you can thank glowies for the second one, you can't risk having a powerful next door neighbor so you make they never become one
