It's also just an incredible deconstruction of the "modern warfare" shooter genre. It screams at the player, "hey, hold up a sec, think about those people you're shooting".

I think it's part of why the only other shooters I like are TF2 and the Borderlands series, both of which frame the violence with a distinctly fantastical, escapist setting, intentionally distancing the game from reality.
