So I recently got a copy of the magazine Gameinformer which happened to be I'm guessing their Rainbow Sin 6 Patriots addition. After reading the 11 page article I'm left at the conclusion....this is a major psyop. I'll just quote the first page of the article (Issue 224 for anyone who wants to find the full article).

----------Start------------

The Enemy Within by Matt Bertz and Jeff Cork

Americans are Angry

And why wouldn't they be? With an exponentially expanding debt, crippling forclosures, corprate bailouts, degrading infrastructure, dwindling job market, and widening income gap between the have's and have not's, it's getting harder to believe politicians when they speak of American exceptionalism as if it were a fundamental truth.
In response to gradual erosion of our beloved nation, resentful citizens of all kinds of political backgrounds are rising up in the form of new political movements like The Tea Party and Occupy Wall Street. But unlike the 1960s (refering to the Civil Rights Act etc) the contemporary bickering government parties have proven largely ineffective at slowing or reversing the downward trajectory.
The media isn't helping matters. Rather thank promote discussions about viable solutions moving forward, ad-driven 24-hour media outlets and radio programs are content to stoke the fires and sensationalize political differences. History proves that if leaders don't move swiftly to address these grievences, the political rage can sometimes find a more violent channel of expression. Case and point; the meteoric rise of militias over the past few years.
In 2009, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported a massive resurgence in anti-government paramilitary groups, which have jumped from 43 militias in 2007 to nearly 200 in 2010. The sudden surge has captured the attention of the Department of Homeland Security, NSA, CIA, and FBI, who all view these groups as a real threat to the stability of the nation. Moreover, many of these disenfranchised groups frequently put their members through intense military training exercises - for what, no one knows.
America's volatile political climate serves as the jumping-off point for Rainbow Six 6 Patriots. The Latest game in the storied tactical shooter series eschews the exhausted Ruassian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern crises so common in contemporary shooters and challenges gamers' perceptions by placing them in the roles of the elite tactical unit, the homegrown terrorists, and the civilians caught in the crossfire. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO PULL THE TRIGGER ON A FELLOW CITIZEN?!
-------END---------

That's just the first part of the article and gives you a pretty good idea of what this is all about. The rest of it talks about the obvious stuff like the gameplay and how this one takes place in the U.S. Basically you go after a guy named Tredway who has a militia called "The True Patriots" and they say that Tredway "firmly believes that his actions will reverberate throughout future history so that people will look at him as a founding father of a new country in which people have embraced civil liberties that are granted to them in the constitution."
I know there have been psyops or at least propaganda pop up in video games all the time, mostly anti-Iranian or pro "war on terror", but this is just crazy! Does this raise a red flag to anyone else?

Heh, read the comments on that vid. 90% of them are either going "WTF, they're the bad guys?" or calling it out as the blatant propaganda it is.

But yeah, I find it sicking that anyone on the development team could stomach or justify working on this piece of trash. Defending the bansters? Well we know who your bosses are.

You know what the funny and maybe just a little sad thing here is? Before their domestication by the Romans sheep were regarded as one of the more aggressive and free spirited creatures on this planet, sound familiar anyone?
