Related: About this forumZero Punctuation reviews "Call of Duty: Ghosts"
Yahtzee certainly brought his A-Game for this review. It's one of the funniest I've seen from him.
Now, to be fair I haven't played a COD game since the very first one, but is this really the best they could do for a plot?

The only COD with a decent plot was the first Modern Warfare. The others ranged from meh to just plain awful.

It was pretty standard-WWII-FPS-cliche - well, maybe less so that early in the genre - but it knew what it wanted to be.

(776 posts)6. If Yahtzee's description is anything to go by...
they sailed their plot right past plain awful and went straight for downright offensive. I guess having to come up with an enemy to blow up every year is not that easy.
I remember enjoying COD1, it was the only WWII themed FPS that I played, so it was an interesting change of pace.
