Gameplay is mediocre and the "war is bad and military shooters are also bad and propaganda" message, while accurate, is exceptionally heavy-handed to put it mildly. That being said, some of the actual moments in the game's story are exceptionally affecting (the white phosphorus in particular sticks out), and I appreciate the gumption of releasing this exact game in 2012, close to the peak of Call of Duty's dominance over the entire medium of "video game."
