I still remember in a call of duty game where in the very first mission you're supposed to be engaging someone who's clearly meant to be Castro; they portrayed him as hiding behind a woman.
It's pathetic the propaganda they spread about this dude; they failed to assassinate him and got owned hard. He died peacefully in his bed and there's nothing they can do about it.
That's the first Black Ops game, which has an excellent Zombies mode and is otherwise filled to the brim with state department propaganda, I'm convinced that COD is at least partially funded by the U.S. military.
That scene was such barefaced propaganda it was wild; you burst into his bedroom, he immediately hides behind the woman he's sleeping with, the classic COD cliche of everything going into slow motion so you can line up a headshot happens, but then the woman goes for his gun so you have to shoot her too and your squadmate is like "He's brainwashed them so much with Communism that they'll literally die for him even after he uses them as human shields" or some bullshit. There were WW1 propaganda posters more subtle lmao. Personally I like to imagine that she's that angry not because of brainwashing but because the D was just so good :fidel-si:
Even more amazing is I remember after the Bin Laden raid they tried to make out that the exact same thing happened (rather than the probable truth that SEALs were literally tripping over each other to be the guy to get him), which makes me think some bazinga brain in the Pentagon had played the game and subconsciously stole it when they wrote up a fake report.

Oliver North assisted in the production of at least one of their games, and had an appearance in Black Ops II.

Isn't that literally revealed to be a body double later?
It is, because Fidel didn't actually die irl :fidel-cool:
I DREAMED I SAW FIDEL LAST NIGHT
ALIVE AS YOU AND ME
