I don't really think "great empire that we destroyed" is an accurate phrase to use but I know what you're saying. However, it's also the fact that most casual gamers from the US would rather play as an American, so making it about the American's involvement in WWII sells better.x434343 said:It's not the fact it's Russia, so much the fact that it's Soviet Union that developers will not make realistic Russian battles in WWII. Kinda like "Look at this great empire that we destroyed" deal.
I think CoD should stick with modern fictional wars, that way I can play it without thinking 'ugh, that's not historically accurate' or 'that's unrealistic' and enjoy it a bit more.
