We have either become Nazis or Zombies.

There are two truths in the world of video gaming:

1) You will always have to save the princess again

2) The only two acceptable enemies to slaughter in games of war are zombies and Nazis.

Not even during the height of the Cold War were Russians placed in a gamescape to be gunned mercilessly by 14 year old boys. This was always reserved for the most foul and unholiest of creatures, Nazis and zombies.

Zombies were a no brainer, and yes I meant that pun. But Nazis were always rendered as human beings fighting for the horror show that was Nazi Germany. The very first popular first person shooter would lead to decades of war against digital Nazis, with no other human foes ever inserted, not even people we fought like the Koreans or Vietnamese:

Sure, there was an oddball terrorist to kill here and there, but they would always answer to some higher power, which would always turn out to be a freaking Nazi.

Always.

This is why this new game is a bit of a teller, and how the world might add Americans to the list of evils:

Congrats America! Let’s hope the world thinks we zombies, at least then we can claim to just be mindless torturers.
