10 Video Game Endings With Disturbing Implications You Totally Missed
6. Getting Imprisoned For Desertion - Medal Of Honor: Warfighter
So I’m not sure if you remember, but Warfighter caused quite serious controversy when it was released. Not only did the Naval Special Warfare group that were working with EA at the time find out it was actually releasing classified information (leading to a disciplinary), but it also turned out that their “horrors of war” ending, while attempting to be deep and thought provoking, only provoked people.
All throughout the game, your squad members to said be adrenaline junky-style war hounds who love a scrap as much as they love their country, so when the game offers you an ending where you can turn your back on the squad and return home to your family, it’s a little out of left field.
As are the implications of choosing such an ending. If you go AWOL, you could end up in military prison for desertion, and trust me, desertion isn’t going to look great on your CV, so helping to provide for your family just got a HELL of a lot harder.
