The thrills of wielding 21st-century technology, sci-fi-like gadgets and increasingly ultra-deadly weaponry in-game surely account for the words “modern warfare” appearing in the titles of so many digital games nowadays. The destruction and terror of World War Two stands as a terrifying warning from history – but even that globe-spanning conflict didn't feature fleets of satellite-controlled drones capable of firing missiles on the opposite side of the planet at the drop of a hat.
Yes, William Tecumseh Sherman was right and “war is hell”, regardless of when in time it happens, but something about laser guided munitions and modern tanks ups the ante for those of us here in the 21st century.
