Maybe its just me but even after reading your summary, i didnt understand much. i have troble keeping track of the charecters.
the only fuzzy story outline i comprehend is:...
there is a war in middle east, where americans are fighting, they decide to investigate the suppliers of the main bad guy so a british special forces was put on the job, they traced the connection to some extremist russian named Zakhaev who sold a nuke to the middle eastern bad guy who blew it up killing a bunch of americans under general Shepard. Then the brits track down zakhaev who almost kills them and some good russians fly in with gunships and save everyone.
Russia makes Zakhaev into some hero and this dude, Makarov- Zakhaevs subordinate appers, also an extremist. (btw a real Makarov is a last name of a gun engineer who is famous for creating the "Makatov pistol") Americans think this guy is dangerous so they have one of their agents infiltrate Makarovs group, and go on a massacre in the airport. But Makarov knew about you being an american spy and killed you leaving your body connected to american agencies. This pretty much starts a WWIII, Russia invades the US and they fight and stuff, and in the end of MW2 it is revealed that it was Shepard who pulled Makarovs strings and staged the whole war partially for revenge when his whole army got nuked in middle east and noone cared. and partially just like the ole Zakhaev who wanted to return russia its superpower status, Shepard wanted to use this war to make US a dominating military superpower again and establish a militaristic regime in US with himself as the leader.
in MW3 after the death of Shepard proboly things would get out of control and europe would be dragged into this war.
so the basic outline seemes to be clear, the thing i have troble following is the resembelence of individual missions/ charecters to the storyline. To me it all seemes like, " we are going to track down some guy who is somehow connected to the main bad guy" or "we are infiltrating a base of terrorists to save some dude, who has info on what the main bad guy is up to"
maybe this is because you are playing as multiple charecters in the game and it gets confusing.
Despite of all the hate/mild dislike of blackops on this forum, i think blackops story was a lot better because you played as one charecter all the time (exept for like 2 missions where you played as the other CIA dude and the old russian dissident). Also each mission clearly explains, when, where, who and why so i can understand the story better. MW seem to lack in explaning the who, when where and why. Well maybe most of the missions explain where, and who, but i never got the "why" and "when". and some MW missions i also had troble understanding "who"
dont hate people who rip you off,cheat and get away with it, learn from them
