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?

    Well, you could play the supposed “Evil Ending” of COD: Black Ops: Cold War. Unlike the supposed “Good Ending” where you support the Americans and get killed for your troubles, your friends from the USSR welcome you back with open arms and let you take revenge on the Americans.

      yeah, i heard about this a while back.

      very funny that the 3 letter agency using you and throwing you away (like they always do) is considered good but joining the soviets and them welcoming you back like you’re family is considered bad somehow. did they switch the ending names by any chance?

      (don’t answer that. it’s a rhetorical question. i already know this is meant to be propaganda, but damn if it isn’t stupid as fuck)
