To answer your question (If someone can name me a Call of Duty game in the last 5 years where the player is not part of a Spec Ops team, that would be appreciated), the original COD had the player part of 101st Airborne duing the US campign (This is WW2, so they were not  specical forces) and just as a normal Russian soldier duing the Russian campaign.

I don't think it would be in the last 5 years, but then again, I don't know any other COD that is the same.
