I hate COD but this has absolutely no chance of displacing the absolute strangle hold COD has on gaming. COD is backed by the US gov as one of their most powerful propaganda machines lol their resources will ensure Battlefield never overtakes it. I will admit it looks great though. Far better than any COD does.

Yeah seeing Beavis and Butthead in the game made me want to re-enlist immediately.

You do know you don't have to play the parts of COD that are ass? I've enjoyed every COD experience I've bought because I only play zombies (obviously skipped vangaurd and mw3)

I play MW3 (the newer one that is the MW2 remake with all the old maps). I basically just play search and destroy and it's a lot of fun. I switch between it and CoD4 remastered from 2016. Even though they are very different they surprisingly play pretty similar.

But if this BF game is good I probably wouldn't play those as much, if at all.

Maybe back in the day it was a good propaganda tool, but these days Call of Duty looks and feels more like a paintball simulator than an actual war game lol

Yeah cause why would they want to spend that much money wowing the fan base every game when they can do the same thing with less work? It doesn’t need to look great anymore once you already have them eating out of your hand. It only has to look great whenever the fan base begins to lower.

My point is that yeah, I could see some kid wanting to join the military after booting up MW2, Black Ops 2, etc because of how hard they went and how cool they were.....

Black Ops 6 though? Game is a total clown show joke lol. Moronic skins aside, the guns don't even sound cool; it sounds like you're shooting paintballs. Anyone that wants to join the military because of Black Ops 6 probably wont even be able to pass the ASVAB. No one is going to get dabbed on by Butthead and go join the Marine Corps lol

Modern COD is more likely to allure people to join Airsoft and Paintball than the military nowadays

It's been completely fortniteified

It doesn't matter, shooting people with US equipment is enough, remember the Michael bay transformers movies (and most Hollywood movies) are done in "partnership" so the military is portrayed in a positive way in exchange for access to cheap military props, and those movies were about space robots

Backed by the US gov? What? Source?

u/sneakysteve420 Jul 31 '25

Look up the concept of the “US military-entertainment complex”. It’s similar to the US military industrial complex. The US government funds, works in conjunction with or donates to tons of entertainment companies for the purpose of propaganda/furthering US interests. Basically the entire “military shooter” genre is a single result of this. When you also begin diving down that rabbit hole you will quickly see that the government also isn’t in the habit of letting that type of money be seen to just us normal folks and how giving a “source” isn’t as simple as it seems. This isn’t an issue you can just “source”, it’s a gigantic 60+ year campaign that requires months, if not years of studying and paying attention to to even half way properly grasp. If I were to give a source to you here, I’d have to post sources non-stop for like 3 days to give you even 25% of it.

Lmao, a series that has mainly focused on British military characters is a crazy way to increase US troop enlistment

u/Lebronamo Aug 01 '25

Why would the USG back cod and not battlefield?

u/Magus44 Aug 01 '25

I mean with the current government, if you show them that people love this stuff and they could use it to try and enlist people I have absolutely no doubt they would try and get their fingers into that pie.
