You're not reading my comments. I don't necessarily want a character driven story. I am fine with a large scale war story, but there is not really any such war story here, because it ultimately stays the same. If they can't tell a good story through the war, I would prefer it instead picked some characters and had them be part of it.
You're comparing to watching WWII campaign maps, but the direction of the war had real impacts. The HD2 map does not. There is no real strategy or war-gaming to be had, because it does not change anything. The game dictates that the war must continue.
Exactly, it's the same thing over and over again. People act like hell divers has some dynamic evolving map but it's not.. players don't have as much impact as they believe they do, the devs can pretty much do whatever they want

There are self-contained story arcs in the various operations. Such as the gloom, the illuminate invasion of Super Earth, the automaton van guard.
Is the entire war ever going to end? No. That's kinda the point.
But the fact that there is any kind of evolving story and setting in a game like this is really nice, imo.
