Anon here to ruin/(redeem?) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare for the rest of you.
>Irons is a euphemism to describe the deep state elite.
<Atlas Corporation is a euphemism to describe Globalism and The UN's agenda.
>The USA is literally surrounded and depicted as the world's last man standing.
<Sentinels are a classified top clearance task force established at the start of a catastrophe Irons let happen to prevent future catastrophes. They are an intelligence focused group who has pieced the group together, are woefully outnumbered and are Humanity's only hope to prevent enslavement and depopulation(sound familiar?).
>Manticore is a genome targeting virus that kills anyone not loyal to Irons and Atlas Corporation.
<Irons effectively assumes total control of all world governments through slow and methodical power grabs via vital infrastructure.
>"Captured" depicts what happens if Atlas Corporation & Irons wins (a timeline narrowly avoided?).
This game was released in 2014, just prior to the world absolutely losing its collective shit (relatively speaking). Recall that DARPA experimented with manipulation through video games targeting an impressionable audience.
Sleep well frens. God wins.
