Since everyone is talking about or playing or buying extra copies of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 right now, Adam couldn't let this week's Soapbox go by without talking about the controversial "Airport Scene" gamers have all been hearing so much about.
While this video is fairly light on spoilers, if you haven't finished the single-player campaign in the game, you might want to wait before you hear what the Sess has to say on the subject. That being said, how did playing through that scene make you feel? Or did you skip the level, expecting it to be gratuitous and offensive?
Here is a look at the first two maps of Season 6 for Multiplayer.
La Casa involves intense action in a Vill and Koro Village is a battle in the streets where enemies lurk at all angles and shadows.
Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.
Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.
The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!
Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.
No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !
I totally agree with him. If other forms of media can do this why can't video games? I agree with him on Infinity Ward also. I know they have been horrible towards the PC community, and removing with stuff, but they have balls to do this, and I respect them for that, but at the same time I can't really support them right now for what they did, but I will eventually get the game.
So, when did you gain this power to read people's minds and know why did something? It seems as if you're 100% sure this scene was created for that purpose, but really it's just speculation. I agree with Lt. This shows that they have balls and you have to respect that, but at the same time I'm still pissed with what they did with the PC version of this game.
Well said Mr.Sessler
I agree 100%.
I'm glad to see someone so well regarded in the world of gaming seeing the game as an artform and as a medium of expression, and he's right, video games need to be able to do what movies and books can do. They need to be able to go into those grey areas without the double standards that comes from the media about such things.
He is correct in that video games are NOT a simulation, they are NOT a method of behavioral encouragement. Books had to go through the same steps as this, then radio, then movies. As long as there are those like Mr Sessler that defend it for what it is and not for what others call it or construe it as, then we will be able to see video games develop fully and truly grow into something more than it is today.
Nothing but respect for Sessler. Fight the good fight.
the airport scene was just boring! might as well have skipped it!
