looks like it could make for a fun speedrun
Feels very similar to High Hell and several other games, I guess theyâre having a Moment.
holy shit is this the half life engine

The weird way they can kick despite not having feet/legs is strange as heck.

Modern Warfare finally operatives operating operatively but is it the right thing to do. Is America (The West) the real bad guy? (No.)
The developers talking about trying to top No Russian. Just make a game about going back in time to kill baby hitler. Or trump. Make a game about killing one baby. Make a game about having 50 million dollars and not solving a social problem with it.
Almost 20 years into the Afgan-Iraq war where we have fucked up a generation of Americans and a whole landmass of the world and it isnât over what can possibly be the message of âModern Warfareâ. It should be about the US Army being run as a police force in Baghdad and colossally fucking up and ruining lives while trying to hand out chocolate bars then joining the private military for 10 times to pay so you can just kill without consequence.
I guess Modern Warfare is being security for rich shitheads and you not putting a fucking bullet in their skulls.

Modern Warfare is that you canât afford if your car breaks down but there is no public transit to your work.
Or that stock investors with a million dollars portfolio can make a guranteed 10% Annual ROI.

iâm here for this rage
I think itâs a lack of direction. The most recent comparison is Watchdogs 3, which is using a bunch of pieces theyâve always had lying around but have never been allowed to congeal into a point, and of course Ubisoft at the very tippy-top level prefers it that way.
But Watchdogs 3 comes screaming out with an identity and a thrust and a creative director worth a damn (Clint Hocking) â yeah, Iâm honestly ascribing this to a single person but I think this is a good illustration of what creative leadership can do. He can pick up these pieces and make sure theyâre all working together and then push on a single theme and get the buyoff so the packagin, marketing, and everything is working towards that point.
And I donât necessarily have the highest hopes for Watchdogs 3 but it actually feels alive and like itâs going for something and itâs all the difference from Call of Duty and Modern Warfareâs mess of individual Statement Levels (made by very good designers who really do care and are rather perceptive), but wrapped in a self-defeating package.

new modern warfare looks like dogshit but infinity ward has to cash in on the one game that they made which people still like i guess. maybe this is cynical but i own every cod except mw2 so iâm thoroughly poisoned by this series
Man MW2 is the best one
i watched my sister play the campaign and some spec ops on the 360 when it released and that the player character dies like four times and the plot makes basically no sense warded me away forever
then i bought ghosts because i have a sickness
Clearly we are looking for different things in these games I guess
Also Spec Ops (in all the games where it makes an appearance) is SO GOOD and far and away the best part of the entire history of the series
all the journalists impressed and shocked by the fact that modern warfare looks like âLiveLeak footageâ or whatever need to get their heads out of their fucking asses
if infinity ward wanted to actually say something youd get rewarded for gunning down civilians over the course of the campaign with an honorable discharge and then join some bullshit private military contractor named something like âxenius internationalâ making ten times the money you did in the army. the rest of the game is you sexually harassing civilian contractors at the PX in bagram until you go home and hang yourself because your spine disintegrated driving around in humvees and the VA denied your disability claim because your incompetent CO never put your injuries on record

Iâd think if you killed baby hitler youâd just come back to a world where fascism is even more popular and more obvious about it without a hitler boogeyman. killing baby j. edgar hoover seems like the safer choice
