The country of Urzikstan is make-believe, and while the regional politics certainly resemble the conflicts we find ourselves embroiled in in that part of the world, the game is using fictional heroes, villains and events and that’s perfectly fine. In any case, I know there’s been some controversy over the game’s historical accuracy, but I’m going to review it based on my experience playing rather than nit-picking the historical accuracy of a game that makes no pretense at being anything other than a total fiction. “Your skills will be strained” about sums it up. I’m going to play it again on “Veteran” to really amp up the challenge, but “Hardened” is a pretty good balance between challenge and fun. I played Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare’s campaign on “Hardened” which means I died regularly but never got stuck.
