Rooting for the Empire is also off the table, as the villains are all genocidal racists who want to murder all Americans for reasons never elaborated on, and of the four important ones, two show up for only one level before dying, and another is the leader of the villains, who never appears in person or is even given a name. Logan is a blank slate who follows his father and brother with Blind Obedience, Elias sends his children out into warzones without the slightest hint of concern for their safety and put them through Training from Hell at a very early age, Hesh is a Flat Character with terrible voice acting, Merrick is a murderous Blood Knight who executes unarmed workers, Keegan's sole burst of characterisation is his execution of an unarmed soldier begging for his life, Ajax is the Token Minority who dies moments after we first meet him and is completely forgotten ten seconds afterwards, and Kick is a Mauve Shirt with no personality whatsoever who doesn't even need to die to be forgotten. Call of Duty: Ghosts has virtually no likeable characters.The Reveal that Spencer's wife was killed and used to make his bionic arm seals the deal. Nathan Spencer is difficult to root for due to taking several levels in jerkass, and the plot revolves around a conflict between an awful Police State and an equally awful terrorist group. This is one reason why the 2009 installment of Bionic Commando is so divisive.The end of the game is one big Kill 'Em All event, with the protagonist triggering a landslide that kills the various factions that he angered into hunting him down, but he himself is killed by the same landslide, with the implication that the people he was working with are killed as well, and it's hard to really care about any of this. Even the main character - a Mexican outlaw - is violent and abrasive, with the majority of the bad things happening to him being his own fault, and while his racism against "gringos" could conceivably be understood by being surrounded by people who are just as racist towards him, he also makes racist remarks against Native Americans, and ultimately shows no remorse for any of his actions.
