Rainbow Six Patriots CG trailer shows what's at stake
Rainbow 6: Patriots isn't set to debut until 2013. So, it comes as no surprise that tonight's VGA debut trailer was a CG conceptual trailer.

Like before, the new trailer features terrorists, bombs, and guys being strapped to bombs unwillingly. It appears the terrorists have no shortage of explosives and belts.

It would be so awesome if you, as team leader, were given the option to switch sides during the final fight or some such. After a few weeks of release, word would get out about this style of ending and your friends would be ready for it but can you imagine the shock value for the first playthroughs?

I think subtlety is too much to demand of a AAA title from a big major. If we could get someone making tactical shooters for the The Wire/Homeland watching crowd, I bet you'd get exactly that sort of story, and a game with a much more sophisticated tactical system than "a context button" but there's no such developers.

Most terrorists justify their actions in that sense. Their actual motivations may not be nearly so focused, they may merely be inadequate fags trying to assert themselves through crazy behaviour (a lot of the 9/11 hijackers fit that profile) but in general the rationale is that the authorities are terrible and evil, but "the people" have become complacent, so to shock them into revolution you clearly have to blow random shit up, right?
You'll see that sort of thinking from both Ayman Al-Zawahri in the eighties and the various leftist communist urban guerrillas in Europe during the Cold War.
What's unlikely and implausible here is that white middle class Americans, no matter how screwed by the system they become - a group of people who have become less and less violent decade over decade - are supposedly the ringleaders of this terror movement.
Political violence is just an element of general ambient violence in a society, it has similar root causes to violent crime, and those root causes do not exist in the US, and probably won't, amongst its middle class population. So the whole thing is pretty fucking shallow, and also hammy. There's about as much thought put in this shit as in a season of 24, but the behaviour of the terrorists in terms of their tactics is fine. -
