The ultimate twist ending at the end could be you kill some UNITA cell lader who you previously fought alongside in one of the beginning missions.
Oy, R-4s, SLRs, Browning Hi-Powers, the jungle mod to the Browning A5, maybe even a BREN gun.

It's UNITA, not ANITA. Also, would it really be all that politically incorrect? Savimbi was an opportunist and a con artist who started out as a disciple of Mao Zedong, and then cozied up to the apartheid South African regime and Washington's neo-conservatives when he realized he could gain greater international legitimacy (and money) by making himself into an anti-communist. When the Angolan government hired Executive Outcomes to help them fight UNITA in the 1990s, I don't think too many liberals felt much sympathy for Savimbi and his forces, regardless of how much they loathed the ex-SADF guys who made up EO's leadership. (note that I am assuming you associated political correctness with liberalism; forgive me if I am mistaken)

Oops. Typo.
No, Savimbi was goon, a somewhat usable goon, but a goon none the less. I was more referring to the glorification of the SADF and the Apartheid (sp) era regime. In essence, I don't see how a video game maker could make the SADF the good guys. Heck, even Larry Bond and Barrett Tillman waffled on making them the good guys and those dudes make Barry Goldwater look moderate.

Also, before the end of the Cold War, the SADF would be fighting the MPLA. UNITA received training and even close air support from the SADF before the end of the Cold War (and also the end of apartheid).

Speaking of which, if anyone has seen the leaked playthrough of Black Ops II, it is quite the historical role reversal to have UNITA equipped and fighting like the SADF (down to having the Buffel MRAPs and Eland armored cars) while the MPLA are reduced to a bunch of machete-wielding maniacs with technicals when they had plenty of armor and aircraft themselves.

That was the "twist" I was getting at, but I could be confused. That whole situation is murky to say the best, and Lt. Col. Brown doesn't exactly provide the best picture of it.

Oh, but it's okay for the Pentagon to force them to reveal similar information for Zero Dark Thirty? Hypocrites...
