When I've played the Call of Duty single player campaign, I didn't walk away with a feeling of "Mmm-hmmm, I killed dem nazzzys good." It was more of respect for the people involved, seeing the situations they were put into. I think of it as along the lines of a movie like Saving Private Ryan or a series like Band of Brothers. Some war games are done for sheer exploitation of the war, but I think some are done to show people what the greatest generation went through.

I don't think it's right to compare all war games to this...they're in much different context. Now, if there was a game where you played Hitler going to a concentration camp to gas the inmates, it'd be different.

With this, it's as bad as making a game like Battlefield: Columbine or Flight Simulator: Colombia.
