Ikr? Like how many games start off with an epic narration before dropping you onto Normandy Beach or into a ship that’s on fire in the middle of sinking? Those of us who love this franchise remember the phrase “You are about to embark on a great crusade towards which we have striven these many months.” because it captures the turmoil and essence of the franchise—of being at war and struggling to survive. The older Call of Duty games did that right like Big Red One for example. It made you feel like you were just a soldier in the middle of this epic war. Nowadays, Call of Duty is just a god-mode simulator with an AK-47 or a Thompson. The closest any of the modern games got to a compelling story was Call of Duty Cold War.
