What has happened with Battlefield 3 and 4 is basically a Coldwar without the nukes.

[@hennggueljuancarlos8603]

BingusDoesIt Nah agent kovic or whatever his name is appears in battlefield 4. And so far we haven't heard nothing from Blackburn so he's most likely in jail. Depends on what the government says though but look at what happened to Dima, he tried to stop the nuke and he most likely got captured by Russia and sent to a maximum security prison in china. Edit- or maybe Blackburn got discharged honorably since he killed his CO but stopped the nuke in NY.

[@colonel1003]

When it comes to modern military games, Modern Warfare (not the shitty reboot) and Battlefield 3 have probably the best campaigns when it comes to set pieces, storytelling and atmosphere. One of my favorite things about Battlefield 3 is how the marines react to Russians and the T-90. Sure Russia is a laughing stock now but this is when Russia was one of the most feared countries. Blackburn and the rest of his unit have probably only fought against insurgents and suicide jeeps but they are scared shitless when they have to fight against actual soldiers and heavy armor. Any other game would treat Russians no different from insurgents.

[@ArcturusOTE]

I think he preferred one heavy killing blow instead of repeated stabbing, he's already a mess thanks to Solomon and the train

[@FixedKarma]

Easy to grab hold of, also he kinda needs Soloman alive to testify about the nukes. At the moment it's implied that Blackburn is in cahoots with Dima to cause a world war. There's no way for him to have evidence that Blackburn was going to set off the bomb, so Soloman being alive to examine and interrogate is key to make sure Blackburn is correct in history. The call is that Soloman had touched down in NYC, not that Soloman had a bomb, so it's possible that the nuke was already in NYC. If Soloman dies there'd still be no discernment between if Blackburn was a domestic terrorist or not in collusion with Dima or Russia. That's why the nuke couldn't be in just any place in Europe, it need to be in a major EU NATO, Britain was unavailable due to tough border and surveillance security, to hard to infiltrate, so France, specifically a large city, like Paris, was ideal. Lax border security and surveillance made for a perfect storm. America needed to be a target due to it being the sole superpower globally, there was too much American resistance in Iraq, other countries didn't matter. To distract from one fire, start a bigger one. The entire plot behind this was so that the PLR could get a bigger foothold in the middle east. The only real American ally in the ME is Israel, they'd either be distracted by the ensuing world war as a Non-NATO ally to america, weakening them or america would cut funding for Israel because of the war, either way Israel is less of a threat, depending on how long the war went on Israel could be killed. Once the PLR gained a major amount in the ME they could go onto to fight in Africa then probably South America, possibly Asia, maybe around this time the war would be over or the world could be ashes, whichever one it is PLR could rise and take parts of the world bit by bit, no country able to hold their might against a third party that attacked indiscriminately. At some point PLR would have a massive foothold in the world for a long time, possibly forever. America and Russia would have become weaker. There would still be no way of knowing whether or not the war had ended, the world was crippled, or peace had been made. Those who've known chaos, slept with it, rolled in it's filth, they will come to make a child with what chaos has done with order, what chaos has done to world

@@sodacan8436 bro I type out all of that, like a full on theory and shit that has supporting evidence and logic, you know what fine. He currently doesn't have gloves on, so he'd slice his had, that is if he can get a good grip on it, or if he can even find the right piece, what if it's not sharp enough to do damage? Let's suppose it is, Soloman can still react quite well against a stab, he has all of the options you have with that technique, but you can die either way, doesn't matter, he has the advantage. And even if he doesn't fight back, a stab can still be rather fatal if you hit the wrong spot, the legs are full of arteries, hit one and he could bleed out fast, arms are almost the same deal, and yet after all the stabbing you still have a rather responsive person to deal with, this is a guy that would set the nuke off even if it killed him, he's already accepted death long ago, so he'll constantly be fighting back, he's either dead or alive, not knocked out. The brick will cause him to get hazy and unresponsive, eventually knocked out, way better for Blackburn.

The fact that they discredited the entire Russian effort is so infuriating.
