Glasco claims: "A lot of us devs were appalled because it felt like political propaganda being pushed by Activision."
Unlike all the apolitical storylines in Call of Duty, like blaming a US war crime (Highway of Death) on Russia.

MODERATORS
Would it have let you play as the good guys at least?
I don't think Call of Duty has let you play as the good guys since 2004, when you got to be a Soviet spotter and killed a boatload of fascists.
There was a dry spell after WaW (2009) but in Cold War you play a soviet sleeper agent that the CIA tries to turn and you can choose to betray them, shooting all the dipshit main characters from the black ops games and then detonate a bunch of american stay-behind nukes to turn the world against them.
Seeing as how they've gone and blamed USAan wartime atrocities on their victims, probably not!
