There's something comforting about the release of a new Call of Duty game; a title with unmatched production values to distract from its utterly mindless gameplay. With their campaign in this year's Modern Warfare, however, Infinity Ward wanted to do something more—putting us more face-to-face with the consequences of this action romp than they perhaps ever have, in order to critique the systems of conflict. Let's talk about how what we got might be the complete opposite, and how if Call of Duty really wants to go down this route in future, this vision arguably lies in its fundamental technical framework rather than any trite story moment.
