Especially the campaigns, and especially how certain characters and moments are presented in the campaigns.

It's like right on the borderline of being a chuddy glorification of the military and being an absolute pisstake of things that chuddily glorify the military, and I genuinely can't work out which way it's trying to go with it.

    Black ops 2 is kinda hilarious because they do a terrible job painting Menendez as anything other than a flawed anti-imperialist. You're supposed to hate him because he fought literal CIA in angola/panama and disabled America's drone system via cyberattacks. After the entire game it turns out his evil nefarious overarching plan was to inspire an internet revolution to form an uprising against the 1% and destroy NATO
