    Hey, thanks UK counter-terrorism unit. I hadn’t heard of this game before and it looks fun enough to justify spending $5 on it.

    Surprisingly good reviews for something that doesn’t look like a very good game, and is more of a political statement than a game.

    It’s definitely not like COD in that it uses real-world events and factions, and not in a fictionalized setting.

      There’s not really a distinction due to the CoD airport mission. They both are what they are.

    I’ve been thinking of this game in the context of recent discussion about Steam’s laissez-faire content moderation
