  • Command & Conquer: Tiberian Series gives you a choice between playing several factions. One is the Brotherhood of Nod, a fanatical army of terrorists who have no problem with killing civilians, torturing prisoners, and conducting horrific experiments with Green Rocks on the same. The second, "grayer" faction is the Global Defense Initiative, which is selfish, corrupt, and bound by countless rivers of red tape, and is focused entirely on improving the wealth and life of its own population at the expense of the majority of the world, which is rapidly falling apart into worldwide civil strife and poverty. Later games introduce a third faction named the Scrin, who are homicidal Scary Dogmatic Aliens.
Quoting the game's entry on Black-and-White Morality: "Despite what the fandom would want you to believe, it's the same for the Tiberium-series games as well - the only morally grey thing GDI ever does in the series involve General Solomon apparently being The Man Behind the Man to a rogue Nod general early in their campaign in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun; every other bad thing they've supposedly done has always either been Nod blaming their own massacres on GDI or reporters in their pocket just making shit up."

You can't have the same confict being both Black vs White and Black vs Grey. Make up your mind.
