DUTY CALLED OPT FOR BLACK

Song: Black Ops Theme-COD Black Ops

0-1:05: US soldiers come in on helicopters and take up position behind the charred remains of vehicles. It's New York City, it's WW3, US and Russian forces are fighting each other (you can guess this can't you?). It's very Bayesian (Michael Bay, not the scientist/mathematician, or as it's known more widely, BAYHEM). A US soldier in front of us gets shot in the face as he respawns.

1:06-2:50: We zero in on the soldier who's looking at his hands, as if he's going through depersonalization. "What just happened?" He thinks.

Everywhere around him, bullets are whizzing past, cars are exploding, grenades are flying (XM-25 is that you?), airstrikes, helicopter gunships.

He thinks to himself, "Am I in purgatory? Why am I dying and respawning again and again?"

Thinking this, the screen goes black (blank?), and a pithy comment from some general about some war comes up on the screen. Some red blood twinge on the sides. Oh I know!

"War, War Never Changes" – Fallout 4.

The camera then zooms out faraway, like a killcam from sniper elite (The camera follows the bullet back to the sniper), to a sniper 2 kms away (2km headshot, 4,000 points! Press F to cry). The sniper has a Dragunov.

He gets up and makes fist with his right hand and pulls it down, And says, "Yaas! I'm invincible!" As a helicopter gunship (AH-64 Apache) comes into view and looms in on him. "Oh, Fuck". He says, as his face drops immediately.

Our American Man, respawns again, and angrily shouts across, "Dmitri, you bastard!"
"I don't want to shoot anybody!" He thinks to himself (speaks to himself).

"Lots of Russian friends of mine are out there".

Then he hears a call in on his radio. "It's Over!"

And then a warning sound (MW2 tac nuke sound) starts playing, "tun-ra, tun-ra".

And then he hears the sound from the Battlefield 2 map, "Strike at Karkand", And then the sound effect from the spawn page of the map plays (also the nuke scene from MW1), "Khwaja Re Re, Khwaja Re Re Kwhaja".

He looks at himself as he starts shaking, crouched behind a burned out car. Palpitations rock his body.

2:50-3:01: And then we cut to the sight of the nuke coming in (for the kill).

And then as the woman's voice sings at 3:03-3:10:

BOOM!

A roaring sound and a bright flash as the world around him goes deaf, dumb and dark.

In his thoughts (the screen is black), we hear, "Am I dead?" "No, I'm still trying to move". "Why can't I feel anything?" "Am I in a womb?" He tries to speak but can't. "I have no mouth and I must scream!"

And then as his last breadth leaves his body, the camera pulls out and we see his charred remains, barely any flesh on him, like the dead from Hiroshima, like Barefoot Gen.

As the camera pulls out, the devastation is evident, and then the camera stops, the screen distorts, as the film stops dead due to (data) corruption and it stays like that [the video ends there after staying like that for a few minutes. During this, the tone from the '50s "Standby" sign (which stands for standing by for a signal) plays in the background, or Fallout, whatever is more recognizable to you. This effect registers as the corruption being not only visual, but also audio, and it's also a fun nod to the audience, *wink* *wink*).
