So Call to Duty: Contemporary Warfare came out a few days ago, and I have been playing it non-stop. All I have to say is that I LOVE the single player!! Like really, it puts you in all of today's hotspots with perspective from the British Empire, American Marines, Sovs, and a few other nationalities.
**********SPOILERS***************************************
Ok, so in the first level, you start at out as a soldier in the British military from the D. of Australia, trying to help defend Portuguese Timur, and it's invaded by some unamed "Third bloc nation"(obviously Indonesia). You totally get overran, and then defeated. But that's just the prologue; there are alot of other cool viewpoints, from Angola and South Africa to Guyana and a ton more( i haven't finished it yet!). There are some other really cool scenes, but I won't spoil those for fear of ruining too much(FYI-->nerve gas=fail). The plot is pretty cool, it's basically the Third Bloc funds some crazy dictators and terrorists in trying to overthrow some colonies. It's political though, I mean I know in the states at least there is alot of anti-colonial movement, and I heard the Chinese have banned it. The game kinda depicts them as the bad guy anyway, though, because it's OBVIOUS that they're the unammed Asian baddies of the third bloc. BTW I thought it was hilarious how the game depicted Americans as all with deep southern accents. I wasn't so much offended as I was amused. Anybody else loving this game!
