What’s the difference between the special operators of the games and the protagonists of Treyarch’s series? Much of the time, there isn’t one. Both series are dramatisations of the US military’s ability to parachute wired-up jarheads into ‘unstable’ regions at whim. In as in , you will eviscerate people in doorways and snipe them from cliffsides. You will breach doors in slow motion and rain death from a circling gunship. But where the special operator is portrayed as a rational, surgical response to a world is gun down a group of men from behind as they watch TV. A little later, you’re invited to throw an interrogation subject from a roof after roughing him up – one of a handful of pivotal dialogue choices throughout the game.
