I Counted EVERY War Crime in Call of Duty (2003)

Call of Duty is a powerhouse first-person shooter franchise. From Warzone to Black Ops, the last 20 years has carried us from WWII well into sci-fi near futures all while becoming the largest and highest selling video game series of all time. It's not without controversy though. Many have done breakdowns about the series' cultural impact and how Call of Duty highlights (and/or glorifies) the horrors of combat, but for a series so specifically about war it's strange that I've never seen anyone try to analyze how Call of Duty handles depictions and scenarios involving war crimes. I will be playing through the entire Call of Duty series in release order, using my research and judgement to Count EVERY War Crime depicted in the campaigns. This series will serve as a retrospective on COD as a franchise but also as a deep dive examination to see if, as the series grew in popularity and Activision Blizzard deepened its relationship with global militaries and defense contractors if the number or severity of war crimes shown changed or were glossed over and justified. ⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, these videos are made for entertainment purposes with a hope to increase curiosity and deepen learning.
