My multiplayer days are firmly behind me, but the campaign is one of the best in the series. Too bad I won't pirate Modern Warfare II and III or buy them at these ridiculous prices just for a 5-6 hours campaign. Maybe in half a decade pigs will learn to fly and they will discount them to something more manageable. This one's worth a replay, though.

A classified Israeli military database ... indicated that of more than 53,000 deaths recorded in Gaza, named Hamas and Islamic Jihad fighters accounted for roughly 17%. That suggests the rest, 83%, were civilians. These are not the statistics of a war fought with precision, this is a war where imprecision is the aim.
When reported verification times for AI-assisted targets are measured in seconds, ... the consequences are written in rows of small coffins.

John McDonnell: “We have got to stop the escalation in terms of more and more being demanded to be spent on the military, which is largely misspent and wasted. There is no way any socialist can stand by and see warfare prioritised over welfare.”
But The Scottish National Party (SNP) backed 'Lord Robertson of Port Ellen''s warmongering call and called for more arms spending.
