Some of my favorites include Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Black Op and Black Ops 2, World at War, WWII and Advanced Warfare. I’ve played every single Call Of Duty campaign since Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (and a couple of the pre- Modern Warfare campaigns as well) and I’ve enjoyed some more than others. Was the story entertaining? Was it well-written and well-acted? Was it believable and coherent within the parameters set by the fiction? Did it make me feel things? Did it speak to about the larger issues of war in the modern age? I’m more interested in other questions, such as: There’s all kinds of historical fiction out there, with made-up countries and conflicts, whether we’re talking about books, movies or video games. The country of Urzikstan is make-believe, and while the regional politics certainly resemble the conflicts we find ourselves embroiled in in that part of the world, the game is using fictional heroes, villains and events and that’s perfectly fine. In any case, I know there’s been some controversy over the game’s historical accuracy, but I’m going to review it based on my experience playing rather than nit-picking the historical accuracy of a game that makes no pretense at being anything other than a total fiction.
