COD is an amazing example of bad narration, i played the first 2 modern warfare; very nice games , but the missions where jumping all over the place, one time you where playing as an american, the other as a canadian, then as a british.. i didn't care, all i knew was that one guy had that weird beard/mustache and one guy was named "soap"; no idea if i ever played as soap.Call of duty be like:
"viktor salavandor mircheckovich, weapons dealer and drug lord, has threatened code 842 against our countries closest ally, whom we believe to be plotting against us to find nukes in france who is a major player in the financial steaks of the usas biggest oil companies run by one Geoff Phelenko, who says he has intel on chinas experimental gas distribution system that could get in to the hands of korean warlord lei jung. But ignore that because now youre playing as a child and have to plant a tracker on the car of a clandestine group of people trafficers who have also taken your mother. Not the childs mother, the mother of the character you played as in the prologue, one you wont play as again until the end of the game, about the kidnapped daughter of an arabian prince who turned out to be your brother."
Mission one.

"Hey rookie, melee with your knife and switch to your other weapon, its faster than reloading! Run the course!"
what was funny is that one of the sequels (that i didn't play) made sure to tell you on the promotional material that you'll be playing again as this guy that you were supposed to know.. i had no idea who he was XD
