Cold Winter is a 2005 First-Person Shooter developed by Swordfish Studios and published by Vivendi Universal Games.Ex-M16 Operative, Andrew Sterling, had his identity revoked by his superiors after his arrest in a Chinese prison, with all his files destroyed by M16 to prevent an international incident. Rescued from his captors by his former partner and Old Flame, a rogue Chinese agent named Kim who now works for an independent Secret Intelligence Unit, Andrew - against his will - is one of their many mercenaries-for-hire, recruited for missions far too covert for government agencies.After being assigned to wipe out an arms cartel in Egypt, Andrew comes across a stolen biological weapon, a secret terrorist organization and a conspiracy to wipe out all life on earth.The game features a variety of weapons and gadgets, including pistols, rifles, grenades, and remote-controlled drones. It also has a cover system that allows players to take cover behind objects and walls to avoid enemy fire.

Shrine to Self: Mahmoud has a gigantic statue of himself in his compound, roughly the same size and striking an identical pose as Saddam Hussein's statue (albeit with two hands raised instead of one). The game was released two years after the real thing collapsed by the way.

Astronomic Zoom: The game begins with a satellite orbiting around earth, with Andrew's narration in the background before it zooms through the clouds, stratosphere, before finally settling in on a rural Chinese village. And next to it, the political prison Andrew is held captive.

Gratuitous Foreign Language
 Cold Winter (Video Game) / int_2fcf9bbc
comment
Gratuitous Foreign Language: Because of the game being espisionage-themed with Andrew partaking in missions across various countries, expect mooks to let out random foreign words in thick westernized accents. The Chinese guards in Changsha prison, for instance, often spout haphazard phrases slapped together from random Mandarin words and sounds suspiciously British. Kim's flashback when she escapes from the PRC recruiters have everyone present speaking Chinese. Her VA, Kristy Wu (Chinese-American born in California), gets an A for Effort trying to sound like a mainland Chinese citizen. The mooks in Egypt randomly utters "Allahuakbar!" when killed. There are also restaurants in the same stage with the words "Halal" (permissible food and doesn't serve pork, which Muslims can't eat) painted on their sides, despite being set in a district where 90% of it's population are Muslim anyways and the "Halal" reminder seems redundant.

Vengeance Feels Empty: Andrew, having killed Mahmoud and avenged Kim's death, ends the stage walking to where Kim's body is and caresses her face. The revenge is not satisfying to sat the least.

Villain in a White Suit: The Egyptian lead arms dealer, Mahmoud, wears a slick white tux to make him stand out compared to his lesser mooks. Inverted in Kim's flashback when Red Chinese agents tries forcefully recruiting her to their cause in exchange for her brother's life. Kim is the only one wearing a white version of a Red Guard's uniform, and shortly after she kills everyone and ditches her white clothing.

Torture Technician: The game opens with Andrew being "interrogated" by a Chinese torture expert, who gleefully burns him with cigarettes, had Andrew forcefuly beaten up and twists his fingers for good measure. After Kim helps Andrew escape, one of his objectives is hunting down and killing said torturer.

Well-Intentioned Extremist: Ultimately, the game's true main villain, John Grey, turns out to be this; a former RAF soldier who witnessed the horrors of nuclear war, and having his son and daughter-in-law dying before him, John's secret organization, Greywings, aims to eliminate all nuclear threat by creating a nuclear winter. Or as the title puts it, the "Cold Winter" project.
