i know COD WAW is one of them where it has the best portrayal of the soviets, but the other COD games where you also get to play as the soviets/red army soldier like in the original COD (COD 2003) and in COD 2 - are they just as good? or at least, not as problematic as with the newer cod games?
because i refuse to play any game that's just pure crystallized american state propaganda and talks shit about the USSR. fuck off with that shit.
figured i'd post it here too since hexbear has more activity than the grad but i'm still a grad patriot so crossposting it is instead lmao
but yeah, any thoughts?
i've finished playing COD WAW the other day and idk, i haven't seen any "soviets are as bad as the nazis" bs.
did you mean those scenes that portray them committing "atrocities" on the nazis by shooting nazis that wanted to surrender? or the scenes where red army showed them no mercy? or the red army telling nazis/germans once they entered berlin to "abandon your homes, your posts, all hope"? or the fact that reznov or the commissar was very zealous about wanting to take down nazis, to the point of enjoying it? or the part where the red army were killing nazis "that couldn't harm them or were too injured to fight back"?
if that's the case then i still loved it, never once did i think it was weird or that they tried to portray the soviets as "equally as bad" or anything. on the contrary, it only got me more psyched and look forward to the soviet missions more. so i can play as the red army and teach nazis a lesson. because really, screw them. t(^^
Yes but you have to remember that most westerners secretly love the Nazis
i mean we might think thats all great or whatever
but the libs that wrote it explicitly meant to shade it as a bad thing
