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.

    …i know this.

    hence why i said “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”

    because i know that after cod waw, it starts to dive deep into us propaganda territory.

    i only made this post to know if the games with soviet campaigns (classic cod games like cod 2003 and cod 2) are good or not, since i haven’t picked them up yet but would still like to know beforehand, since there’s no leftist reviewer out there.

    jesus.

      To answer your question, Call of Duty 2 is alright. You’ll run into some tropes here or there, but nothing egregious. Mainly stuff along the lines of your officer giving you potatoes to use for throwing practice instead of training grenades. The game is a simple, fun, arcade shooter.

      Call of Duty 1 is much much worse and I would stay away from it, mainly because its very unpolished and not fun.
