Call of Duty MW 2

If you play video games and you don't want anything spoiled for you in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 the stop reading.... NOW



******************Spoilers Ahoy!**********************












So while I do think the story line in the single player campaign of the game was awesome (in a "over the top fun action movie" kinda way) there was one thing in particular I really liked. What I'm about to say may seem.... kind of.... lacking in patriotism but I very much liked how America became one of the enemy factions towards the end (sort of). Although it was only a piece of the american military that was corrupt, most games don't even dare do this. Most games haven't evolved past polorizing opposites when it come to good and evil, and many wouldn't dare have you fight against american troops, so I find it refreshing when a developer dares to do something that has surprisingly enough not stirred much controversy. I've just grown so weary of overly patriotic american troops in video games, I understand being patriotic, but in most video games it's so overdone it becomes a sickening caricature. I know call of duty isn't realistic, I'm just tired of the same cliches, I would like some different cliches.

Hmmm.... Rereading this I fear I don't make much sense.
