Wars of the future won't be fought on land or at sea. They'll be fought in space, or possibly on top of a large mountain. In any case, much of the actual fighting will be done by robots.

Kind of the platonic ideal Call of Duty has been striving for after all these years: endless, apolitical, pure nationalist warfare. Stripped of real world ideology. It's just endless war as far as the eye can see. It's what the US Navy dreams of when they hear the words Star Wars. Men and women alike, from all over the Earth, fighting robots in order to stop some space Jon Snow guy.

And it works. It's utterly shameless about much it just loves war. And Michael Bay esque explosions, which in this game are happening constantly all around you. The whole game is a 5 hour walking tour of explosion city. It's great. It dazzles.

The most human character in this is a robot (styled personality wise after the one from Interstellar).
