* BrokenAesop: The game's narrative is designed to push the idea that WarIsHell, as explicitly pointed out in one conversation where Price says that his and Garrick's role is to get themselves dirty to keep the world clean - it's the mean ol' ugly and inevitable reality of war that, sometimes, good soldiers have to be the bad guys to get the job done and protect their people. The problem arises in that the game never adequately demonstrates this, especially any of the tough, morally-ambiguous decisions the developers hyped up pre-release. Farah's playable sections entirely consist of her fighting for survival, never putting her in any sort of situation where her actions could be called into question, and the closest Garrick gets to a tough choice to make is [[spoiler:leaving a child held hostage by the Butcher to be killed, rather than opening the door to try to save him (which results in the Butcher and his assorted militants storming the building and killing everyone)]] - every other time any sort of morally-ambiguous decision is placed at his or Alex's feet, picking any option other than the most morally-clean one [[NonStandardGameOver immediately sends you back to a checkpoint]].

Developers Foresight is not just about animations having attention to detail. It's about video games including content that acknowledges situations which are reasonably unlikely to occur. There's nothing at all unlikely about reloading a rifle with a scope or other customizations on it. Likewise, Shown Their Work is about stories which acknowledge details the audience and creators are reasonably unlikely to know about if they haven't done research. Selector switches aren't obscure knowledge, most players who enjoy "realistic" FPS games probably know they exist, and developers certainly do. It's just a bit of extra attention to detail paid to gun models.

** The animations show a good amount of attention to detail that take into account the gun's current configuration. For instance, the Kar[=98k=] normally loads from stripper clips but if you attach a sniper scope to the weapon, the shooter changes to loading the weapon round-by-round as the scope mount prevents access to the loading breech. That being said, it is not perfect.

** Some weapons allow you to switch between semi-auto and full-auto. If you do so, the selector switch on the side of the weapon will be changed to the appropriate setting, in contrast to earlier games where the selector would, most commonly, be permanently modeled [[NotWithTheSafetyOnYouWont on the safe position]]. It's not perfect, though, such as the AUG being animated to switch modes by flicking the ''safety'' on and off,[[labelnote:Explanation]]The Steyr AUG uses a progressive trigger, where pulling the trigger partway produces semi-automatic fire, and all the way for full-auto. Only a small handful of variants, like those used by the Irish Defense Force or Australian Army, have something approaching a fire selector by way of an automatic lockout tab, which prevents the trigger from pulling far back enough for full-auto fire, but the in-game weapon doesn't have that.[[/labelnote]] while some of the select-fire weapons are modeled without auto sear pins, which would prevent them from actually firing on full-auto.

While ATT did say the trope of demonization itself was valid, it doesn’t protect the entry itself from modification or addition. To be clear: this is not me saying you can’t edit. Since I REALLY don’t want another months-long back-and-forth on ATT, I’ve laid out my points for the changes: Barkov’s goons are claimed to be working independently from Moscow. This is, again, a generic action movie excuse, but it’s still a justification, especially when the Russian government shows up to help the US and UK. The reason I brought up the fact the other Modern Warfares in ATT is per your charge of “the other modern warfare final bosses being able to put up a fight”, it’s no different from an American ultranationalist mass-murdering his own men while frantically running away from two SAS grunts or Zakaev only showing up to execute a bunch of random special forces after his Army does the bulk of the fighting. The fight with Farah isn’t much different from the fight with Shepard. As I’ve stated on ATT as well, your use of Nikolai kidnapping a kid isn’t proof MW is calling all Russians evil, especially when good or neutral Russians come into play after the bulk of the campaign. “Russians being defeated by a bunch of starving women” doesn’t seem to play into the whole “Russians are evil” demonization angle. As in the ATT, “starving children repelling a much stronger military force” isn’t necessarily unrealistic, and I could easily make a case for the same with the American defeat in Afghanistan. You’re still re-adding word-for-word what was deemed as complaining by a previous mod, and the person who added those in the first place got banned. “Russian Government is stupid for ignoring or not being aware of Barkov” isn’t exactly that. There’s plenty of incidents where governments turn blind eyes to abuse because the abusers happen to cover up, push an agenda the government’s looking for, or simply because the government isn’t closely monitoring them. See: charges of UN Peacekeepers molesting civilians in Africa, the US in Afghanistan letting anti-Taliban allies practice pederasty or covering up murder sprees, everything going on in Syria, Russia not reeling in the Wagner Group in Africa and resulting in accusations of abuse towards civilians, etc. That ‘’may’’ qualify for demonization under “the Russian government isn’t paying attention”.
