Which is why I said I'm hoping the producers grow a set of balls. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of gamers out there who wouldn't mind being on the dark side for a change, but with all the 'look at how heroic we are' productions that keep getting churned out every single time (can we have a shooter in which we can't play the Americans for a change?) there's a mindset that seems to be screaming "America can't be evil!" even though any other country apparently can. RA3 took a nice step, but then they screwed it up in the Empire campaign.
