Sounds even more insanely stupid than MW2. Well Bah I say, have your crappy America vs. the world all bang and no substance shooters, I'll just sit here and sulk contentedly.

@RebornKusabi Our economy may be going through a rough time right now but bashing your country doesn't make you look intelligent. I'm certainly not for blind patriotism, but have at least a little pride in your country eh? We have come a long way, and that didn't happen because "we're all lazy ****'s" as you put it.

I just hope it doesn't become something like Turning Point. Interesting concept, horrible gameplay.

Holy shit. This seems like a game that will be the next GTA. (Controversy-wise, anyway) and yet, I still want to play it...

Shouldn't the phrase be "... at all times"? Us silly Asians and our lack of proper English syntax!

Wow. Just looking at this thread shows not only the staggering amount of ignorance about the game itself, but the actual world situation, ignoring the fact that most of you quite clearly didn't pay attention [i]at all[/i] to the trailer.

@Almost everyone This pretty much seems to me like a B-movie turned into a game. It's not supposed to be serious. You're not supposed to say "How can North Korea conquer the US?" or "Is this just the game developers saying that Communists or North Koreans are all evil?" It's just a game about the North Koreans conquering the US. You can already tell that you're not supposed to take the game seriously.

As soon as Korea stepped into North America they'd get bombed. Game... Looks fun, though? ReCAPTCHA: States disarmed Heavy Irony, brah.

Sounds like another typical xenophobic game America-saving-the-world-from-Communism. I guess gameplay matters more than the plot in this one. *sigh* Developers should be more professional when it comes to creating a good storyplot. No wonder Ebert is right when saying plots in video games are just like typical B movies.

@Cwf2008 Why dont you tell me how you really feel. Oh and just some Texas info, because I know deep down you wanna know. The mexican american war had nothing to do with Texas, it was land that now consists of California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. Your confusing it with the Texas Revolution which was 10 years prior.

@SuperStingray: Well only the US Congress can declare war and they haven't done that since WW2. So technically the US has not been to war since the 40s. Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan are technically just our troops sent over seas.

North Korea doesn't need to declare War with the US. Technically, since the Korean War is only at a ceasefire and never officially ended, we've been at war with them since 1950.
