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?

did you mean those scenes that portray them committing "atrocities" on the nazis by shooting nazis that wanted to surrender? or the scenes where red army showed them no mercy? or the red army telling nazis/germans once they entered berlin to "abandon your homes, your posts, all hope"? or the fact that reznov or the commissar was very zealous about wanting to take down nazis, to the point of enjoying it? or the part where the red army were killing nazis "that couldn't harm them or were too injured to fight back"?

i mean we might think thats all great or whatever

but the libs that wrote it explicitly meant to shade it as a bad thing
