MW2 Question

Sean — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 02:21:19 GMT

I have a question, almost all the US rangers, and Task Force soldiers wear these in MW2:

It's like a scarf, or bandanna covering their nose down.

Anyone know where you can get one of these? They look sweet.

Crybaby Reporter Whines about MW2's "Troubling" Scene

As the title says, crybaby can be found here.

Quote:

This year's most sought-after video game is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," a very [1]M-rated -- as in military -- combat simulation released last week in which players control special-ops soldiers, running and gunning their way through realistic 3-D environments.
The game sold 4.7 million copies, generating $310 million, on just the first day after it was released, said publisher Activision.
But parents interested in picking up this game for their kids should remember this caveat: It's also one of the most controversial games of the year, due to one short, five-minute segment where the protagonist is forced to gun down scores of innocent people in a crowded airport. Not exactly the kind of image and interactivity players are ready for after the Fort Hood massacre.
Early in the game, you play an anti-terrorist soldier who has infiltrated a Russian group about to unleash a fury of bullets in an airport.
Not only do you witness the killing, but the game allows you to participate in the shooting spree as well, gunning down screaming bystanders, even wounded ones begging for their lives. If you try to stop the terrorists in any way, the game ends and you have to restart the mission. In fact, you can't progress to the next chapter unless you kill riot police (at one point, the game tells you how to use a grenade launcher on them).
Activision claims it's an important part of the story and helps convey the horror of their acts. I agree -- to a point.
As my review on the front page states today, I like the game for its otherwise outstanding gameplay and graphics. But for the same reason film critics used to complain about mad-slasher films such as "Friday the 13th" always putting audiences in the point-of-view of the killer, I have a problem with conveying an airport massacre through the eyes of a player who must murder innocents.
Why not make the player a horrified observer? [2]Couldn't it have been told just as effectively as a non-interactive cut scene? Or shouldn't the player at least have the option to try and stop the killing at the risk of dying himself? [3]That is one wholly unrealistic aspect to the scene: No undercover agent would even allow that kind of mass killing to occur -- let alone participate in it -- just to keep his cover.
[4]Though the game's developer, Infinity Ward, gives players the option to skip what it acknowledges might be an "offensive" part of the game, that's more of a cop-out.
Game makers have always pushed the idea that interactive entertainment takes storytelling to the next level. Yes, it does. It also makes violence in realistic scenarios feel that much more troubling. [5]Game creators should be more responsible in how they portray it.

1. No, M as in "Mature". As in "intelligent people who can handle it". As in "children have no business playing it in the first place".
2. No.
3. Finally, something this guy says that I actually agree with.
4. Like hell it is. It doesn't just give you the option to skip it, it explicitly warns players several times and offers to skip it before the game even starts.
5. I applaud Infinity Ward for being ballsy enough to put it in the game.

Its a VIDEO GAME. It isn't real. If one can't handle the violence in the first place, one has no business playing violent games. Go play Viva Pinata and Mario Sunshine. Better yet, unplug your console and sell it to the nearest Gamestop. This is exactly the kind of "soccer mom" crap that is hurting the game industry. Parents, take responsibility for your own damn children and what YOU choose to allow them to be exposed to.

MW2: Pit Boss

TJ Griffin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 00:24:33 GMT

Does anyone else have it yet? It can be a bit tricky, the key is practice. I thought I would share a few tips for how I got it.

1. Accuracy it key. Even though you will probably finish in about 34 seconds, a good accuracy score will shave off about 5 seconds and net you the achievement.

2. Use the SMG on the table. SMGs do not slow you down when aiming down the sights.

3. Just tap the trigger so you only fire 1 bullet at a time. By taking down each target with one bullet, combined with good accuracy, you will not have to reload or switch to your pistol. Or, if your good with a pistol, using two might also work. I don't know, I haven't tried it.

4. After running though it a few times, you should get a feel for where the civilians are, and remember there are a few places where a civilian is directly behind and enemy target, therefor shooting the target will also hit the civilian. Take out these targets at an angle so you miss the civilian.

5. A few of the moving targets do not always pop up in the same location, be ready.

6. There are several places where you can take out 2 targets with one bullet, doing so does wonders for your accuracy score. Just be sure to remember what targets have civilians behind them.

Once again, just keep running though it over and over. Take it slow a few times until you really get a feel for where the enemies are. Always aim down sight and don't waste ammo.

I can't stress enough how important it is that you aim carefully and fire only 1 bullet at a time. Don't rush it to much and don't spray. Once I got a feel for the course, I found getting the achievement surprisingly easy.

Hope this helps.

MW2 Amazing Knife throw!

Rage

Hermit — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:23:00 GMT

The new first person shooter from Id software (Wolfenstein 3D, Quake and Doom) with racing and published by EA.

I'm really looking forward to this game, just wondering if anyone else is, it looks sort of madmax/fallout world style its going to be open world, on PS3, 360, PC and Mac.

Its another post-apocalyptic game sure but this one actually got me excited at first glance, where as Fallout 3 I was eased into addiction.
Heres some vids, interview, trailer.

Modern Warfare 2 Special Ops

Sean — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:32:47 GMT

How far have you gotten?

I have all of Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta done on Veteran, only missing one from Delta, Wardriving I think. And then I don't have any on Echo, haven't tried any of the Echo missions with a partner but doing it by yourself is basically, no, it is impossible.

Pelayo & Dye still alive!

Sean — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:58:31 GMT

Yes, Captain Pelayo, the chick you saved from the downed Cobra in Call of Duty 4, and you thought died when the chopper went down with the nuke is alive, as well as Dye, the man who flies out of the helicopter.

Spoilers.

In Modern Warfare 2, on a Oil Rig, both Pelayo and Dye are in a Little Bird helicopter, that you get on and fly to the Gulag in.

I like the idea. As long as they don't choose dumbass ideas for achievements like "10G - Get your first kill." Just so the Gamerscore junkies can get their fix.
