    nah man Blops is peak for me, best zombies and multiplayer, plus a decent campaign that was a lil artsy without going crazy while keeping the cold war aesthetic

    I’ll give you DoD funded, although I think that started earlier, but boy is that ending in Blops with the American Navy appearing and the sun shining corny af, I’m glad the post-credits scene was about killing the president

      Yeah truth be told, most American-published military FPS games are supported by the DoD in some capacity. Just like most Hollywood movies that feature US military hardware get support from the DoD. So it’s not really a mark against the CoD series specifically, more the subgenre as a whole.

      I think the reason blops doesn’t feature so highly in my memory is because I’d already moved on from the series at that point. I think I was busy playing Reach or Ark or something by then. I do have friends the same age as I who would agree with you on it.
