As the American Marines deploy to Seoul, the bright lights of the city obscure their vision. Fire, smoke and ash mask the skyline. The jarheads push through the streets, a tank crawling over trenches to provide covering fire.

“We’re tracking a drone swarm coming your way,” a voice squawks over the radio. The ’bots appear on the horizon, a hundred of them buzzing in an eerie, synchronized swarm.

It’s the mid-21st century, and America is fighting yet another war on foreign soil.

This is the opening mission of the newest installment in Activision’s multi-billion-dollar video game franchise Call of Duty. It’s more than a game. It’s a political statement about the consequences of endless war.

He's right!!! Every time I play a first person shooter, I can barely concentrate on the action. My mind is on the ramifications of international politics and how gun control would have prevented most of this.

And then I mourn, because my character is not earning a Living Wage.

It’s a game and no one cares. Gamers buy these for the multiplayer disk. They don’t care about the single player version or its storyline.

LOL! Yes, even though a game, quite often in a well done FPS, you are thinking about survival and your team’s survival. Check those corners.

Stupid tactical premise: human troops vs. drones? Did they consult any actual military folks?
