We may agree on some things (guns mainly) but for the most extent, 90% of the so-called "Constitutionalists" I've encountered so far have been closeted or not so closeted WN's. Only reason I don't sport a Gadsen flag myself: I don't want to get lumped in with those fuckers.

Sorry, but they ARE my enemies.

Hence why I just addressed it in the context of a mission, not necessarily the overarching campaign story.

Like I said before, this likely was to drum up controversy media attention, as the game didn't have anything special about it otherwise.

Constitutionalists ARE terrorists though.

What the fuck?

>>22698082
If you can't see how this is blatant propaganda placement/agitprop, you're either deluded, or an outright shill.

How much more obvious can the agenda be at this point? This is weaponized media, pointed at the heads of whomever the govt deems to be a dissident.

Whatever, it's a fucking game. Not the first time militias and US Citizens have been portrayed in a negative fashion (Counter Strike for example). Lots of kids that play video games are now becoming gun owners, including me. Not 3 years ago I was playing Battlefield BC2 and Halo and now I'm an avid gun owner though I am morally liberal when it comes to most things. Yea, there are groups in America that are tarnishing the Gasden Flag, just pretend that these guys you're shooting at are murderers or criminals... our better yet don't buy it at all.

tl;dr i care and im mad because im being made the target

>>22697746
They're fully within their rights to make this but it is just a part of a bigger picture of media brainwashing to make gun owners/constitutionalists/pro-freedom white americans/etc. Look crazy while we should be focusing on how the US is looking like a military occupied police state and how SWAT is used for small tax infractions, small amounts of drugs or at the wrong house completely.

The fucked up part is the current wave of dangerous use of law enforcement in this country is only getting worse and worse and it is all payed with our tax money against our will along with shit like the surveillance program that watches and listens to all of us.

But the media is turning it around - if you're against this government police state takeover, you're a terrorist! You believe in enforcing the constitution like the founders intended? Racist right wing terrorist nutjob! Gun control! Free speech control! Dangerous!

Meanwhile cops shoot innocent people quite often, MRAPs are patrolling the streets and cops haven't been reaching so far for power in my lifetime.

It is truly scary when they manipulate what's going on to make us look like the bad guys. Gun owners are becoming the evil in this nation as hitler blamed the jews for germany's misfortunes.

Don't believe me? Look how the media portrays gun owners or anyone identifying as a militia. Obama and every liberal claimed that 90% of americans wanted gun registration. They blatantly lied to everyone's face.

So yes, it fuckin sucks that they're using tools to make gun owners look like terrorists.

The you know whos got wind of that, and shitcanned it on the spot. Now we have that Rainbow Six Siege abomination, which is basically a no knock warrant simulator.

Black man and Mexican cop fight the evil white anarchists. How surprising.

Say what you want but this is actually the most effective way the antis can attack us. I've always considered shooter games a great ally of ours, because it made young kids interested in guns. Now any young impressionable kid who plays this game will automatically associate the Gadsden flag with the evil white racist gun owners.

Seriously, the subliminal effect is very real here. Just look at how many times the Gadsden flag is portrayed. This is so obviously agenda-driven that it's ridiculous. If stuff like this continues, a whole generation of young people could grow up with a strong association between pro-gun symbols and evil.

Because OP said so. But OP does not back up this claim. I watched the video, and they do not mention the constitution or anything of the sort. OP just took offense because of the Gadsen flag, even though constitutionalists aren't the only ones who use that flag.

I didn't say they DIDN'T speak for guns rights. I said they didn't make it easier for gun owners. The gun-rights debate doesn't exist in a vacuum, and anyone who believes that does a disservice to the rest of us.

"We believe it's every American's God given right to keep and bear arms and want to support legislation that ensures this right is not infringed." Pretty good statement, right? Now, to the general public, would that be better coming from a suit-and-tie corporate type addressing a crowd of similarly attired folks, or would it be better if it were a Klansman in full robes addressing a crowd of other Klansmen?

Dice is swedish and somehow I doubt that Colt and other international companies really give a shit.

All I remember is that Dice made a big deal about it because of people blaming vidya games for "gun violence" or something like that. All I know is that Dice brought it up, not Colt, or Remington, or Beretta, or Izhmash

>>22697662
Well, no. The HAZE plot turned out that the militia was just as corrupted. At the end they started killing the mil guys for no reason. Something like

>They're just animals, MC!

which echoed the earlier claims of the advanced mil guys against the militia. I liked that game.

The difference between this and games like grand theft auto that portray the "gangsta" life is that in grand theft auto there are lawyer/doctors who are black. And many of the protagonists are white.

This isn't even on the same level as "muh misogyny in games, women are just sex objects" argument because there are plenty of games that have strong women protagonists. The tomb raider series, metroid, portal (were the female protagonist not only has a high level of endurance but is very intelligent as well) and any rpg that allows you to play as a female.

The game is targeting a specific political movement. It's characterizing those who are former veterans, people with no formal training who want to learn to protect their family and neighbors, and those who want to prepare to defend their country from an enemy as ignorant, racist terrorists who have no regard for the sanctity of human life when that couldn't be farther from the truth.

>>22698824
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Another reason EA sucks dick.

As for this game, I'm just not going to play it. Not going to request it be taken off shelves, just going to vote with my wallet, and I'm sure a lot of other players are going to feel alienated and do the same thing.

Point of order: /pol/ was the single best place to be during the Zimmerman trial. All the racist horseshit went out the window and they transmogrified into a bunch of hungry little data-munching truth seekers. It was mindblowing.

Then the trial ended and they went back to a tribe of online neo-nazis with anti-Semitic Tourette's.

I can't explain it either. If you lurked there during Fergusen you saw flashes of it.

Funnily enough, in Medal of Honor: Warfighter, it was pretty much a playable gun ad.
They even commissioned a special 1911 from Vickers Combat for the damn game.

I haven't seen the new movie, but in the old Red Dawn they did start blowing up civilian targets that soldiers frequented. And killed at least one prisoner (technically 2 if you count the guy that had the bug inside him).

>I want to genocide people that disagree with me ideologically


yet another stunning moral revelation.

You don't know that these people 'want to commit genocide'. you just know they post things on an internet imageboard that you don't like.

I'm with you, comrade.

Ave, verum est liberum.

Sure you can. They needed to die years ago, but you've been helping keep 'em afloat.

/thread

this nigga sums it up were all doomed

>>22698947
not anymore, if I "need" an EA game, I'll just get it used and buy zero DLC.

>>22698729
Except for the "6 minutes of multiplayer" video posted and the fact that all BF titles are multiplayer. I'm curious how they'll do the militia's weaponry.

This is why we need to get the social justice people out of video games.

>>22698921
It was pretty shocking. Took weeks for my eyebrows to come down off the ceiling.

I'm starting to think /pol/ plays at crazy to keep the edge honed, so when it's go time, they don't need to go full retard to be effective.

Goddamnit, why does DICE and EA have to be such shit. They've always been antigun, but this is unbelievable. I bet they wont even make militia an enemy in multiplayer, it'll be some conveniently inserted russians or something.

>>22698977
Fucking right? I just wanna play a game. For fun. And not be up the anus of some jerks political asshole.

>>22698978
I think it's more that most of the time, it's just letting off steam, if you will, and that when 'big shit' happens, it's all business.

You'll see that during HAPPENINGS, where twitter feeds, streams, shit like that are all pulled in.

Now, I'm not one of those idiots that will say
>HURR /pol/ IS ALL SATIRE

but there is a decent amount of..exaggerated posting there.

>>22698824
Do you mean using them in the game? Or they launched some kind of anti-gun violence campaign?

I don't see why a company would be against including their guns in a popular game it's like free advertising.

>>22698977
...to be replaced by the opposite end's interpretation of social justice if this thread is any indication.

>>22698231
Did you even watch the video

>>22697968
Im with you. /k/omrade.

>>22699018
Oh indeed. Once and a while the smoke clears enough that you can see the machinations. It's almost like they're attacking each other to build up a resistance to bullshit online political fighting; When they get bit by the real-deal, they won't even feel the sting. Fuck, I think /pol/ might be impressing me.

>>22697968
You're not alone, the way I see it, if push goes to shove and we win, we'll be in a great world.

If I fall, then I'll be in Valhalla.

>Many of us will buy it but not for the shitty singleplayer

Exactly. Who the fuck is retarded enough to buy it for single player? BF is always about online play and vehicles. Delicious vehicles.

>>22699061
Well, it's not some concerted effort, but i'd say that's one advantage of an openly antagonistic forum (which goes for all of 4chan) - you get desensitized to the little things, so rather than blow up over some personal slight, it's just brushed aside for the most part, which lets everyone focus more on the big shit.

>>22698939
>You don't know that these people 'want to commit genocide'.

They outright say it all the time. Next you'll tell me the stormfags of the world just want to be left alone, which of course involves ethnic cleansing.

>>22698939
Yes, I'm sure they're all just kidding...
Nope.

That's exactly what they hope to accomplish, and they're not shy at all about making their point.

I look forward to getting my chance to waste a few.

>Next you'll tell me the stormfags of the world just want to be left alone

Actually, that was/is a big part of ethnic superiority, for all races; forced racial segregation.

Hell, a decent amount of Black and White supremacist groups actually worked on civil terms back in the day, simply because their end goals were fairly similar.

So yes, a decent amount of race superiority promoters do just want to be left alone.
