For serious though some real bangers out there like Power Of Chaos, Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper, Battlefield 1942 (!) and BF Vietnam (!).

began to add since Bad Company just to compete with Call of Duty.

While it's certainly not Wag the Dog, the Bad Company campaigns were at least kind of humorous in their approach to making fun of modern military shooter tropes (talking about "Spec Ops douchebags with heartbeat monitors on their guns"), and also portrayed the US military utilising expendable cannon fodder while largely losing a war with Russia that started for reasons most of the troops don't understand. Also I connect with the character of Private Terrence Sweetwater on a personal level due to him spending both games constantly correcting people that the Russian Federation is no longer Communist.
