But few games consider non-combatants as a core part of their systems. Notably, games like the newest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare make tense segments out of demanding the player to correctly identify civilians, doling out punishments if they fail. Civilians appear here don’t shoot them. If you do, you get a game over.

When they do, it’s usually in scripted terms defined by the rules of the game world. Military video games, despite attempting to simulate armed conflict in at least semi-realist terms, rarely deal with the question of non-combatants. Though the core, overriding stipulation is that they’re not to be harmed. International humanitarian laws like the Geneva Conventions exist in a meaningful part to codify the basic moral treatment of these non-combatants during armed conflicts. Civilians and various non-combatants - medics, chaplains, technicians - are inevitably caught in the crossfire of any armed conflict.

In real life, war is full of people who aren’t supposed to be there. ‘Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days’ is a Brutal, Visionary Masterpiece.‘She Dreams Elsewhere’ is a Surreal Hip Hop-Infused RPG.The Real Cop Influencers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.This is the first Halo game in which they appear, and, notably for their role as an enemy alien race in a first-person shooter, they are completely docile. The Covenant has brought them to New Mombasa to look for something, and once you see that first one, you’ll soon encounter many others - drifting over the ruined city, leaving mysterious glyphs next to points of interest, flitting constantly toward the next curiosity. They fix things, they find things, they tinker and map and modify. Part organism and part technology, these docile aliens are defined by their facility with alien machines. You learn, later, that these beings are called Engineers (or huragok, if you’re an expanded universe obsessive). If you get too close to the creature, it will explode. As the Brute finishes his work, he narrates it, and it becomes clear that the harness is a proximity bomb. A blue-pink egg-shaped mass of chitinous plates and wiggling tentacles, it seems strange next to the militant aliens of the Covenant. It affixes some sort of harness to a creature you’ve never seen in the Hal o games before. You come upon a Brute: the ape/hippo/asshole hybrid aliens serving as the Covenant army’s shock troopers. Your player character, “the Rookie,” tries to get their bearings after being marooned, separated from their squad and fully alone.
