      also one of the cod games made a mission that was obviously a reference to a well-known American War Crime from the Desert Storm era (highway of death) and then said Russians did it.

          there's a great book about this kind of shit called "National Security Cinema" though it mostly focuses on movies, as the title impies.

      The first mission of CoD: Finest Hour you are a Red Army soldier killing Nazis on the Eastern Front

        Isn’t that the one that helped spread the myth that every other person got a gun and the rest got ammo for when the other guy died?

        Not complaining, just makes them look even braver :rat-salute:

      *fuck all CoD games past World at War

      Feels like both Infinity Ward and Treyarch are trying to "repent" for criticizing Western interventionism and portraying the Red Army sympathetically respectively since those games. No other explanation.
