I'm not having this idiotic argument with you again. If you think the characters in AW were better than the MW3 characters then you've lost it. People are still pissed about the fact that Soap was killed, why? Because people loved him. You may not have, but he is widely regarded as one of the best characters in the series and that's why people were so mad about him being killed. Nobody's mad about Cormack being killed. No one.

Irons had no motive, this was his thinking... "your leaders create wars that don't solve anything, so I'm going to kill EVERYONE for it". Period. Don't try to over-analyze his character (like you tried to with Gideon) and make up some fake reason for him doing it. Makarov was a straight up terrorist who hated the UN because of the death of Zakhaev who he clearly viewed as a hero. Makarov was far more sinister and far more interesting, not even debatable. People loved Makarov's death, nobody cared about Irons'.
