In this part 2 of an analysis of the Modern Warfare trilogy, I take a look at the countless plot holes that litter the series. If only the writers had given more thought to making the plot more logical, things might have risen from mediocrity.
Captain Price's fate at the end of 2011's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 could've been very different, as this new post-credits scene reveals.
Microsoft's Activision subsidiary announced today that it is opening a new game development studio to take advantage of the huge talent pool growing in Poland. It'll be the second Activision studio based in the region, joining Infinity Ward Krakow, although this studio is, in fact, not working on Call of Duty.
The details for multiple future Call Of Duty games appear to have leaked, including a follow-up to Advanced Warfare.
I do agree with the part the writer says that MW1 had set up a decent story and wasn't over the top. But they just seemed to have dropped that more realistic type of story and just turned it into some massive over the top action film.
Modern warfare full of plotholes!?
Who would have guessed. Every damn game post CoD4 dropped any pretense of a 'story' at all. The entire game is nothing more than a series of set pieces which were strung together by a piss poor story. The CoD1/2/4 all focussed on the plight of the soldier. The 'call of duty' and what that means in different contexts. CoD4 touched rather beautifully on the idea of what it means to be a soldier in a world where nukes and city razing bombs exist. It was a great idea and was very emotional.
But after that it literally became a bunch of explosions. Not only did mw2 ignore the idea of what it means to be a soldier it just starts pulling shit out of its ass. Oh look captain price is alive. Oh look detonating a nuke in space has NO disadvantages whatsoever. Oh look Russia has instigated a land based invasion of the U.S. Oh look there's an oil rig, and a castle, and an airport... and a street in Brazil. And now I'm fighting in the white house.
And it's something to do with a guy called Makarov right? Oh no wait it's a U.S General instigating all of this. Because that's how soldiers work right? When the government trains some of the greatest soldiers to ever live a General would find himself in the situation where he'd have to kill those soldiers to avoid them turning on him. Let alone the fact it wouldn't be up to the damn soldiers to even know why and who they were killing but whatever we'll just pretend that the army is actually comparable to a lovely dovely family where you just pick and choose what you orders you do and don't follow.
My favorite is the former SAS fellow crawling into a Russian nuclear submarine and finding the big red button labeled, "Fire Nuke At America."
Which was also conveniently next to a smaller red button labeled, "Detonate the Nuke We Just Fired in Orbit."
Change the picture, I havent played the game yet but this is a spoiler
