Call of Duty: Black Ops upsets Cuban government

[The Saltman]

Activision's game denounced as "doubly perverse" and "sociopathic" thanks to Castro-assassination mission.

As expressed in the state-run Web site Cubadebate, the Cuban government has taken major umbrage with the game, particularly its first level.

(SPOILER ALERT)

"U.S. launches video game whose objective is to assassinate Fidel" ran a headline on the Web site, referring to a mission that sees players attempt to assassinate a young Fidel Castro shortly after his forces overran Havana and deposed dictator Fulgencio Batista. Instead, players kill a body double and are captured.

I thought we tried that IRL with some bad results....

When I was in the teams, that was considered the most desireable Op to get among some of the guys. It would be a "retirement Op" if you lived, you would retire with all of your benefits....

Not even remotely as bad as mowing down hundreds of people in the airport in the last game.

Castro being a puss. Go jail someone.
