Could Killing Fidel Castro in Black Ops cause more controversy?

Posted October 22, 2010 by Daniel Pepper in Industry

In America a show known as GTtv  had an exclusive Call of Duty Black Ops episode revealing details about that the storyline will be beginning in Cuba (Havana). In the video details revealed that you will be on a mission to take out a high Value Target. Dave Anthony one of Treyarch’s members was asked if Fidel Castro would be the target, he wouldn’t say anymore.

Having a look into the achievements and trophies, one of the achievements is

Death to Dictators
Use a single round to bring down Castro
15 Gamer points
Bronze

Even though this is all we can stand by at the moment and believe that this achievement and trophy could be revealing a bit of the story Activison didn’t want us to know yet.

How do you feel about this? Do you think it is right to kill someone in a game who is still alive in the real world? Leave your comments below.

    I like Castro and killing him is only understandable if it fits with the story but it doesn't say kill it says "bring down" so it doesn't have to be a fatal shot.

      Yeah but saying that you get points for killing a "dictator" is messed up and plays into the same old stereotypes about Cuba…. i am sure the Miami-Dade fanatics are going to love this one,,

    you don't kill Castro. When u play the game you find out you killed his double

    oh well killing his double makes it alright then – bloody americans. If someone made a game where you kill obama or george bush there'd be hell on. hypocrites…

    Blah

    My question is…did anyone hear the name Fidel anywhere in the game?I'm certain they made sure not to put the two names together and there are thousands of Castros in Cuba.
