      Was going to say, setting this in Iraq feels redundant as we already had an Iraq stand-in in the first modern warfare, the whole game was like influenced by the war.

        and in MW2019 like every level was just a retell of a different Iraq war movie, with some Iran and Syria thrown in. what more is there to say guys? unless this game has Captain Price dome George W. Bush with a Desert Eagle in first person I don't fucking care.

            The only redeeming thing about black ops is that it very heavily implies that your character killed JFK. Lol

        Iraq stand-in

        The original Modern Warfare took place in a post-revolutionary Saudi Arabia which unified with Iraq and Kuwait.

        There's a cinematic mission were you are a traitor of the revolution and you get shoot by the secundary villain of the game.

        For some reason (racism and islamophobia i guess) the OpFor is also present in Afghanistan in the sequel.

            I think they don't even care to mention it in game, they just show random middle-eastern and russian locations with some narration.
