Call of Duty (COD) is a Statesian first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision Blizzard 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
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]
