I recall another game being used to draft the player.
I mean, don’t the call of duty developers openly collaborate with the military to increase recruitment? Hollywood sure as hell does.
Great movie, btw.
They might be, but to a small extent. What you are actually thinking of is America's Army - that game was made with recruitment in mind and to show how the army works. Subtle propaganda like no matter in which team you are, you are always a US soldier, and the opposite side is a terrorist. You pick up their guns, they shoot like shit and they are kalashnikovs etc. Someone on their team picks one up, it's the same gun it's always been and shoots perfectly fine. You literally had to go through "training" to be able to use a specific weapon, or be a medic. You took tests at the end of a lecture lol.
CoD is absolutely military propaganda as well, just not as overt as what you're saying
