In the old days, the kids ate up all the tacticool stuff from CoD because it was the closest thing we could get to a real modern warfare experience without joining. The designers tried to capture the exhilaration of the experience and they mostly succeeded.
Today's CoD looked like it was going back to those roots with the house clearing missions, but the MW2 campaign dove straight into the soy and farce. 55 year old women sniping in the field and female cartel bosses taking over their own interrogations. Meanwhile the rest of it is esports, lootboxes, streamers, Warzone, and Nicki Minaj skins. Anyone who likes that stuff is going to be useless to the military even if they joined.
