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?

Bold of you to assume CoD itself isn't state propaganda, or the military's most effective recruitment tool

Oh I meant as a franchise. To me, it was kind of like asking if anyone knew a grocery store that didn't sell groceries. Was really just trying to reinforce the point.

But if you're just looking for the least blatant one, I would look at the other comments. I stopped playing them after Black Ops.
