    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.
