Propaganda shit aside. What the fuck is this, man? The original betrayal was simple but the new one is convoluted, takes forever, becomes a John Wick movie, and le roooosia was behind everything!!!

    The original also made rounds back in the day for being covert imperialist propaganda lol, it's amazing how much worse it's gotten that the original looks tame in comparison now

      Yeah the original made the idea of a "false Flag operation", which the CIA agent and Russian terrorists shooting up the airport was, enter popular consciousness. Which considering the events of 2009 with Sandy Hook, was uhh maybe not the best timing. Led to a bunch of idiots calling Sandy Hook a "false flag" because they heard about it in a video game and Alex Jones was saying it.

      The original was obviously propaganda, but at least it was subtle compared to the modern stuff and the "bad Americans" were also at fault on their own terms and get killed. Crazy that the propaganda slop has gotten so bad that we can say this now. Because the original modern warfare 2 story was not subtle at all for the time, it was the most obvious Amerika fuck yeah stuff.
