    Was this before they turn cod into army propaganda? In retrospective. it seems crazy that they depicted the soviets as the heroes.

    I think this was the first time i learned anything about the red army. And it goes so fucking hard.

      Immediately before, World at War was the last good COD game before the series was bought out by the US army. I have no clue how Treyarch managed to push the game out as a last hurrah, especially since the game immediately before it and after were the genuinely evil Modern Warfare games.

      The entirety of Soviet and American campaigns were based. The didn’t even play around with the both sides garbage, as the message was unapologetically, “These Nazi scum deserve to die, as the rot of their decrepit Reich crumbles around them”.

      The very next game was Modern Warfare 2, where you get to reenact the US invasion of Iraq as the “good guys”, and then kill Russian civilians in a terrorist attack funded by the CIA.
