Some old things:
- Freespace 2 (quite ahead of it's time, still had community years after)
- SpecOps: The Line (story for that time was innovative)
- Enemy Territory (not so many ppl played compared to CS, but also created lasting community)

Yeah, it's a challenge. I try to get where the perspective is coming from (e.g. whether it's gov stance or personal) and then use a bit of personal stories and humor to show other way of thinking. Not very effective though, ppl believe the person but they think govs will do what they want either way

this seems to be so far off the perceived reality in NATO country. The only thing we are capable and willing to invade is a buffet on all-inclusive holidays, not the country on the other side of the world.
