[Bigtime]

The author of the first article quoted is more upset that the Modern Warfare games never really put the player in an underdog position, but rather in one of ultimate power with all of the might of the US armed forces behind them. So in effect, it is actually an accurate representation.

I assume he would prefer to always play as the underdog, but he openly admits that these games do not put the player in that situation. So a lot of complaining over nothing?

Disclosure: I've never played any of these Call of Duty or Modern Warfare games. My last FPS shooter was Half Life. I had no problem shooting down my own ships when I played Freespace II and had to go undercover with the rebel faction.
