One scene near the end of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's story - no spoilers here, not that there's anything to spoil - features a CIA agent heavily redacting all the key details of what you just played through. I let go of the idea that Call of Duty might do much of interest, or even consequence, with its story some time ago, but that's as on-the-nose an analogy... Read more ›
