After describing one scene in which the player fights back a horde of military veterans turned to monsters by the United States, all of them under a banner reading, "Veterans Memorial," Smith asked, "how can you look at all these elements and not think this is super fucking subversive?"</a>[/quote] Smith went on to explain how the banner represents H.R. Haldeman - with its flutter-flight to the ground at firefight's end parallelling Haldeman's resignation in the wake of Watergate - while chuckling quietly to himself at the satire of it all. Unfortunately, this left the attending Wired Journalists in an awkward position, as no one quite knew whether Haldeman was a real person or just part of some gleefully subversive meta-joke.[/quote]
