Gamescom: Shoot Racist Tea Partiers in ‘Battlefield Hardline’

In the upcoming first-person shooter Battlefield Hardline, players will shoot and kill racist anti-government Tea Party types, Gadsden flag and all.

Gamers got their first look at Battlefield Hardline’s singleplayer campaign, from developer Visceral Games and publisher Electronic Arts, at the Gamescom gaming convention in Cologne, Germany, on Wednesday, but the reveal included an unexpected partisan shot across the bow of conservative gamers. The Battlefield series, created by Swedish development studio DICE, has been largely apolitical since its first installment was released in 2002, but that appears to have changed with Visceral Games taking the lead on the latest release.

The Hardline demonstration opens with the player character, Nick Mendoza, and his partner Marcus Boone meeting with a criminal contact, Tony Alpert. The situation soon turns sour as it’s revealed the meeting is a setup to capture Mendoza and deliver him to a crime boss. Imprisoned in a decommissioned missile silo, Mendoza must escape his captors and sneak through the underground bunker to gain his freedom.

Even video games have become political. In Battlefield Hardline, Tea Party are the target.

How about a game where eco-terrorists and Islamists are the target.  :fuelfire:

Who is more likely to be associated with a crime boss, a TEA Party guy with a Gadsden flag, or some street dude named Mendoza?

Just wondering...

Someone needs to put out a game where the liberals are the bad guys.

Wow. They want the tea party to be a terrorist group so badly they fantasize about it.

They did.  It was called Wolfenstein 3D. :whistling:


I really, honestly and truly hope the DUmbshits think that playing this game makes them "ready" to take on eee-vil TEA Partiers IRL.   :popcorn:

That was going to be the theme of Hale Life 2: Episode 3 but there were some unforeseen consequences that stopped the game from coming out.  :tinfoil:

And you could extend that to any game where you kill fascists, socialists or commies....like the Sniper Elite series for example.
