Real, intelligent and loved people died... But that doesn't seem to matter, in respect to the bloody FM, DM, tracer squiggle, tree color/colour... So on, and so on...
Come on guys... I think it's more than just a game... It's a respectful simulated account of how those poor young souls lived and died!
Don't drag it through the mud, point out the faults, but give it, it's dues...

CoD endeavors to do one thing-make money.
War memorials are made of stone and bronze, not binary code.
Now maybe I come off as cynical, maybe its because I am a veteran, but this stuff about making what is in essence a big boy game and trying to pretty it up as a memorial to the men that fought the battles so as to make others avoid critical review of it is disingenuous at best.
I for one know that if there was a "Battle for fallujah 2004" simulator made, and it turned into a game of debatable quality, I would be incensed if people tried to invoke my efforts in the battles portrayed to defend a shoddy product.
Remember that you do more of a disservice to veterans when you invoke their efforts at every point of contention. Remember what they did, and how they did it, but don't ever use their Herculean sacrifice as an excuse for anything!
