>There are people on /v/ who honestly think the protagonist did anything wrong
Explain yourselves.
I tried playing this game, but it was just a very boring and generic 3rd person shooter. I slogged through two hours of popping generic sandpeople with AKs that go down in a few hits. Maybe the story is good if you give it some time, but the gameplay sucks.

He clearly did seeing as he's stuck in a purgatory loop of violence and regret.

Its a parody of the shooters you had back then so the shit tier gameplay is part of the experience.

>in the end its revealed that my character was talking to himself, seeing ghosts, yet 2 other operator as fuck dudes didnt just slap hist shit and go home, but instead ran with it wihtout even mentionig it.
What the fuck.
I MIGHT understand the devs forcing the WP thing, but doing so makes the whole thing moot, but i have zero idea how anyone can think the latter issue is accepteable.

Because by the time Walker went fully off the deep end they were already too deep in to really turn around and just leave and they were also losing it; guilt over being complicit in the WP incident, Lugo shooting the radio man (he was obviously snapping as well).
I think people run a bit too hard with the "THE GAME WAS TRYING TO GUILT TRIP ME?!" stuff. I don't think the devs were so naive as to believe most people would give a shit, but it was meant to make you think about the difference between using those drones like in any other FPS and showing you the 'consequences'.
Of course the irony is that CoD4 already did this in a somewhat subtle way by having the TV controllers being so disconnected and chill about the whole thing, and the section was ironically so much fun that many people didn't pick up on it (including me) until it was pointed out.

To elaborate further, Lugo and Adams probably worked ops with Walker for years and he's been a sound, rational, efficient CO up until this point. It's pretty obvious they're uncomfortable with it but.. hey, the Captain's been sound before, right? Let's just roll with it.
Of course by the time they finally figure out that Walker has truly lost it, he's crashed their helicopter into a sandstorm, Lugo's been strung up and Adam's has snapped as well.
