Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – developers deny falsifying history.
According to them, the story set in fictional places does not try to reconstruct real events, so it cannot be called a distortion.
Modern Warfare has become one of the best CoD episodes of recent years and certainly its success is due not only to the multi, but also to the well-written single-player campaign. Of course, the game is under attack, mainly from the Russians, and most recently a mission has been discovered in it that is quite similar to a high-casual American operation, but here the Russians do the same.
In the Gulf War operation known as The Highway of Death, the U.S. side carried out bombings that killed hundreds of people – including women and children. There is also a mission of the same name in Modern Warfare, but in this story, according to the story, the Russians are behind the bombing in which fleeing civilians lose their lives. It’s hard not to notice the similarity, so developers have been accused of violent attacks on value and history falsification.
The game’s narrative director, Taylor Kurosaki, said they drew from the conflicts of the last 50 years to authentically show their horrors, but the plot of the game is entirely fictitious, so there can be no talk of falsifying history. As Urxia is a fictional country, conflicts in it cannot be interpreted as simulations of real-life events:
“There are American characters in our game who betray the trust of other characters. There are Middle Easterners who resort to tactics that you don’t think are fair, but there are characters from the same region who are morally straightforward. The same goes for Russians. both our antagonists and our Russian heroes in the game, and I would stress, that was our goal.This is not some kind of propaganda.It is a demonstration of what is happening in such a conflict-affected zone … And the biggest victims of wars are the local people … That’s what we want to draw attention.”
However, some players do not seem to think that the game would present the horrors of war completely impartially, as negative criticisms have recently begun to emerge (Metacritic’s user rating is ridiculously low), mostly in Russian.

Rethinking the Modern Warfare sub-series of the Call of Duty series with realistic elements, a campaign full of dramatic moments, a rock-hard, tactical multi, and a zombie-free cooperative mode.
