Exactly as unsubtle as it needed to be (while also having a surprising amount of subtlety in other areas) considering the games that it serves as a criticism of, all of the Yahtzees and TotalBiscuits who say that the white phosphorous scene is "like mooning someone and then shaming them for looking at a butt" while not batting an eye at any other war shooter can fuck off (I mean they can also fuck off for a metric shitton of other reasons but this isn't quite the review for that).

in hindsight this is literally the only valid military shooter (unless you count things like the opening of Wolfenstein TNO)
