A new video game featuring a black alien female superhero delivered to Earth to fight global warming is about to hit the market thanks to a $100,000 grant from the Obama administration.

IIRC, in MOH you don’t actually play as the enemy, you play as a deep cover operative in a terrorist cell.
You must...and I do mean must...see this:

The whole thing is amusing, but if you’re short on time start at 0:55 and go to 1:20 or so.
