The new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is filled with body horror, to the surprise of only some. The game’s intention is to bring out the frailty of humanity into play, where you watch your own playable character get torn apart limb by limb by a killer robot. You’re eventually turned into a cyborg too ruthless to be considered human, but that precisely is Activision’s intention.
New Call Of Duty Proves Humans Aren’t Good Enough
We’ve been laden with ideas of supersoliders since the beginning of time, and there are certain characteristics that just cannot be beat by the frailty of the human heart and body. The game showcases these weaknesses as players witness waterboarding, beatings and arson all within the first level.
Activision’s point is to show that war can tear humans apart easily, and it takes up to make it so they won’t with the implementation of bionic limbs.
No One Is Playing the New Call of Duty for the Story
We believe that these games have never been played for the sake of story, and the new Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is no exception, but gamers can’t help but follow it, immerse themselves in it in order to play the game in the appropriate sequence. The fiction of Call of Duty takes the very concept of the military and blows it out to the largest proportions imaginable, taking violence and brutality to the biggest extent.
In the new Call of Duty especially, the very concept of the regular soldier is non-existent. It is cyborgs who fight the fights with a chance to win, it’s those with faster legs, harder fists and more stamina that can make it. After being implanted with bionic limbs, your playable character is even able to pair with any computer and becomes a killer with only a fraction of a heart. Though this upgrade isn’t new to the Call of Duty series or to any military fiction, it makes particular note of the feebleness of the human body to an unsettling degree.
This might come as a thrill to gamers. Though video games like this have been widely dismissed as being ‘too violent’ and being an ill representation of pop culture to young people, but the truth is that this fiction, despite being rather heartless, the new Call of Duty showcases the horrors of war and the technology that comes to fight it back.
The New Call of Duty Isn’t Entirely Fictitious
According to many researchers, the Western military R&D is actively looking into cybernetic limbs to upgrade the human body. History and fiction have both told us that when man and machine collide it is machine who usually wins. This is not due to mere force power either, but also due to the fact that machines, due to the advanced nature of programming technology, may be able to learn more, more exactly and efficiently.
If Western military is really looking to invest in bionic limbs, some may say they’ve read one too many Captain America comic books, or watched RoboCop one too many times, but as times progress, it may become a reality.
