Call of Duty (COD) is a Statesian first-person shooter video game franchise currently published by Activision Blizzard (formerly Activision) that has sold almost 500 million games since its launch in 2003. It contains large amounts of imperialist and pro-US propaganda. The US Air Force, Marines, and Department of Defense have been involved in the franchise since at least 2010.[1]
Imperialist propaganda[edit | edit source]
A mission from Call of Duty Black Ops (2010) involves assassinating Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro.
Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013) is set in Venezuela and includes an assassination of a socialist leader based on Hugo Chávez.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) recreates the Highway of Death from the First Iraq War where U.S. forces bombed hundreds of fleeing Iraqis trapped on a highway. In the game, Russia commits the war crimes instead of the United States.
The most recent game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, has a recreation of Qasem Soleimani's murder as its first mission. The character, renamed General Ghorbrani, is accused of supporting terrorism and being a puppet of Russia. It also includes a mission where players must shoot people trying to cross the border between the United States and Mexico.[1]
