Hell yeah!
I think Zero is still probably the best game lore wise. There's also a lot of references to WW2 in there, look up the dates of the missions in Zero and contrast that with the dates of key events in WW2, you'll see what I mean.

Belka, the in game stand in for Nazi Germany, nukes itself on D-day, for example, 6 June. To prevent the heartland of Belka from being invaded.The war-crime-o-meter was an interesting game mechanic as well
I played a ton of 4, 5, and Zero. The plot and storytelling of 4 were very cool, and 5 is a fun and believable political melodrama of presidents under the control of an ultra hawkish illuminati.
Zero had great mechanics tho, I think the best gameplay in the series was on the PS2 and Zero was the pinnacle of that.
Didn't realize how much I miss having a PS2
