Every Covenant level involves combat against Covenant rebels, the Flood, and ultimately the Covenant itself after your character undergoes a Heel≯ace Turn.

Halo 2 has you playing as a Covenant Elite for 1/2 the levels, but you notably never fight against the humans at all.

The series strives for historical accuracy it's essentially a Foregone Conclusion that the Allies win, and your chief aim is living long enough to see it happen. The Call of Duty games set in WWII allow you to play as a soldier on the U.S., British and Soviet sides - playing on the German or (in World at War) Japanese sides is only allowed in multiplayer.paratroopers, while including single scenarios that can be played as the Germans. The first two Brothers in Arms games, also set during the Normandy campaign, feature campaign play solely from the perspective of U.S.However, the special operations soldiers on the player's side are still depicted as American Green Berets, while those on the opposing side are portrayed as Spetsnaz. The Special Forces maps allow players who haven't completed Special Forces training to play as indigenous forces.Which (probably unintentionally) underlines the fact that no-one is evil or unjust in their own eyes, and is also alarmingly reminiscent of the The Outer Limits (1995) episode 'Hearts And Minds'.This creates some interesting fractures where, for instance, the 'American' player armed with his M16 appears to opposing players as an 'OpFor' with an AK-47. Taken to an extreme in America's Army: although the multiplayer element features Americans versus an enemy force, every player is portrayed as American in first-person, with the role of the enemy taken up superficially by whichever side is 'not yours'.

This may have something to do with the player being more removed from the action in those types of games as well as just how awesome German machinery were. Whether this is because developers believe that given that they're, well, Nazis players will not or should not be allowed to play as the bad guys, or because historically they lost and they feel that leading them to victory feels a bit weird is difficult to say, but it is worth noting that Real-Time Strategy games, flight sims, tactical wargames and grand strategy games usually allow you to play the Axis in single-player mode. This is especially obvious in WWII-themed First-Person Shooter games it is usually the case that even though you can play both the Allied and the Axis sides in multiplayer, the single-player campaign allows you to play only as the Allied side.

Everybody likes to be the hero, so most games won't allow you to play the other side's point of view after all, if you command the White Hats to victory in the Regular Mode, then you're likely to cause a time paradox if you play the Black Hats' mode and help them win, right?
