Inaccuracies in Video Games - Where's Canada
Posted 11-04-2008 at 01:30 AM by Snakepit
Other than a brief mention in Call of Duty 3, and 1 character in older Rainbow Six games, Canada's totally absent in the gaming world. Despite being made in Vancouver, SOCOM: Confrontation has no mention of JTF-2 or CSOR. In Battlefield: Bad Company, the Legionnaire's motto is "Act non Verba" Awfully close to Joint Task Force 2's motto, "Facta non Verba."
Then in Tom Clancy's EndWar, the campaign's basis is Saudi Arabia has a major Nuclear Explosion, making Russia the world leader in oil and Natural Gas prodution. Which is fine, other than the fact that Canada has twice the amount of Oil and Natural Gas as Russia.
I understand these are all fictional video games, but it really does get annoying as hell if it's repeated time and time again. Lets get some mention here.

| |  Agreed. However, believe it or not, it is against international law to portray any CANSOFCOM units in any movie or game. So that's why you never see JTF-2 or CSOR. |

| |  @Cameron. America's where it's at. (As far as I know) Americans buy more games than Canada so it'd make sense (to me at least) to use Americans cities. |
