10 Best "Everything You Know Is A Lie" Moments In Video Games

10. Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (2020) - A Secret Soviet Spy

Though the Call Of Duty franchise is best known for its high-octane action and big budget spectacle, the series isn't all mindless action. Alongside a selection of jaw-dropping twists in Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, Cold War stands out as being one of the biggest and most unexpected gotcha moments in recent years.

Set in the early 1980s, Cold War sees player-character Bell recruited by the CIA as part of a team tasked with eliminating dangerous Soviet spy Perseus.

Teaming up with fan-favourite characters Woods and Mason, we're told that Bell has known the team for years, serving with leaders Adler and Sims in Vietnam. With the second mission Fracture Jaw framed as a flashback of Bell's time in Vietnam searching for a Russian presence, there's no reason to believe anything is awry.

Towards the finale, however, a bombshell revelation reveals that Bell was previously one of Perseus's associates. After being left for dead, the CIA recovered him and subsequently brainwashed him into believing they were allies.

Understanding the truth about the shady practices of the US government, players now have a choice to tell Adler where Perseus is or lie and, in one ending, even ambush him.
