Cod:mw2 Massacre Scene: Confirmed

[Blackfang]

I know they'res a big thread about MW2, but i think this should get its own discussion. What do you guys think? I think its pretty cool. I can just see it now though, people bitching about and other bullshit. You have the ability to skip it, but whats fun about that!

[xscoot]

I always thought that CoD was a cinematic series, and this just helps prove it.

[Jack]

This was shown (or heard, I guess) in the very first trailer, however it is nice to have it confirmed.

Sounds interesting though, the trailer have shown a whole bunch of things and we're none the wiser of what the actual story is about.

Although, no doubt some silly Daily Mail cunts with get their knickers in a twist on the whole airport massacre subject.

[TheMaster]

This game is so far from the original games it may as well be a different series.

Definitely should have stuck with it when they dropped "Call of Duty" from the title. This is NOTHING like Call of Duty.

[squidly]

Wow, if they actually show this killing as particularly cold blooded, and really grip at your emotions of guilt here, this might actually be, if not haunting, beneficial in making the player actually realize that war isn't all fun and games, that's what past CoD games have kind off show you, MW definably.

If they can pull off what GTA IV pulled off...

[GiantDouche]

As disturbing as this may sound quite frankly it still looks pretty awesome. It might help embolden the story and set the tone.

Is that really a bad thing though? The newer games are meant to be taken in as a highly interactive movie type thing. It still manages to be a great play though.

[H-K-S]

I'm sure some assholes will steal kills from the massacre scene for the shits and giggles.

[ParadoxVoid]

It'll probably be banned in Australia because of this.

"In a move sure to ignite controversy, the footage indicates the game will cast players as one of the killers, having them shoot civilians en masse from a first-person view"

GTA? IN MY CoD? AWESOME... I GUESS... Sorta... Not really... Oh boy...

Strange that even with this entire controversy shit storm of a level, it's still almost as amazing to see a game franchise that's actually evolving.

And, on a darkly-lighter note, if Treyarch continues it's policy of copying Infinity Ward's previous game and then trying to take it to the next level, I hereby predict that every level of Call of Duty 6 to be nothing but playing as Charlie, happily burning down villages full of deaf dumb and blind shitzu puppies.

But TheMaster is right; CoD isn't about being in a Russian terrorist group, it's about being a soldier on the front lines of a war. Whether you're the good guys or the bad guys, you're supposed to be fighting battles, not doing some cinematic sequence where you shoot your way out of an airport.

But the torch mechanic will suck so badly no one who will play the game will care.

Surprisingly not. Seems that the ability to skip the scene is it's saving grace.
And that Activision has stated that it's the only point in the game where it's acceptable.

[Robotchk12]

Uh oh.
SPOILERS!!!

[DirtySyko]

Why aren't there any children running around in this airport? All I want is to unload a clip into a little child's body... :(

SHIT'S WEAK

That would have been the boldest move ever.

AND THE SMARTEST.

You should come kill children with me and Jerry on XBL. We just started playing again in anticipation of the new game and to make sure we're not total rust buckets on the multiplayer for it.

Exactly the point I was going to make. We;re fucked.

You better watch out, man.

Grubby could show up at any moment and prove you wrong. Hell, he might even remove Infinity Ward's cock from his ass due to his unsustainable rage.

[sculpted-cold]

spoiler alert, you're playing as a spy during that part.

[knuxrouge]

I think a musical number would have sufficed.....

I agree with this. I want Desert Eagles and a few children in the airport. Oh, and infinite ammo - in case I do get a little trigger happy.

It's a cinematic moment, quite like the bit where you're bundled into the car at the start of Call of Duty 4. It's going to get a lot of negative attention, and Jack Thompson is likely going to have a field day with this scene. I wish there was an achievement for completing this scene.

[Grubby]

This scene is very shocking, yet extremely deep. Every piece of this game's previews shocked me in may ways. Infinity Ward is taking cinematic gaming to the next level.

It's about time a shooter displays the true atrocities and brutalities of warfare. Too much games presents warfare as a playground, such as the realistic portrayal of Mexico City in GRAW, but its lack of ANY civilians at all in such a huge city.

This scene is comparable to art, this game is art, a very violent and crimson portrayal of terrorism and its potential impact on our world.

Most members of society that hasn't seen terrorism in action are pretty apathetic to such acts. Yes, 9-11 shocked us, yes, Mumbai shootings shocked us. But we still shrug off the "200 dead in a deadly series of truck bombings" just as a statistic. I hope we learn something from this.

[Ecke]

Video.

Its pixel people and lines of code, get over it.

lmao! Fucking Australia is so funny.

I love how it's all that French guy's fault, isn't it?

But wait. This means less people playing online.

That didn't take long at all. Australia is really sensitive about its games.

This scene doesn't seem too bad, mainly due to the fact you can skip it.

[MonsterWarfare]

Everyone on the Xbox.com forums are flipping out about it. I think it is a really good addation to the game personally.

[Fezz]

I was gonna get it release day and then whore out multiplayer to get higher then my friends but after seeing some campaign.

Fuck multiplayer yo.
