Ahhhh Team America my dad let me watch that film when I was really young and I didn't understand any of it.
Watched it again the other week and I thought 'why did my Dad let me watch this when I was that young'

The song doesn't fit that well in my opinion, but the official version of the trailer has made me consider going out and buying MW2 so I know what happens in the storyline, because MW3 looks pretty sweet!
I can't fucking wait for MW3.
It's a sign of the times when people ***** about a game being too over the top and not being realistic enough.

The main villain in MW2 was American
And I quote, "coming to save, the mother-fucking day yeah!". It does fit quite well when you think about where its gonna go.goldengirl said:
And, y'know, the song would be hilarious no matter what you put it with.
That's really not why a lot of people ***** about it.MiracleOfSound said:
People ***** because it's gonna be predictable. It could be an awesome game of epic world war madness where we see the world descend into chaos as factions and nations destroy eachother in the names of alliances, peacekeeping or opportunity.
Or, it could be AHMURIKHANS SAVE TEH DAY!!!
What do you think is going to happen?
I'm withholding actual judgement until it's release, but given the other COD's I can't help but see this as yet another crappy little pro USA game with nothing new to offer. Who knows, maybe it will take on CoD4's sense of style. I really do doubt it though.

If that were any other country under attack from terrorists then it would work perfectly, it still does work with an American city I suppose, but they're really just "coming again to save our own motherfucking day yeah!"
Still super psyched about this game, I loved the previous two Modern Warfare games and this one should not be any different, I just hope they balance out the multi-player a bit better this time, no doubt they will though.

Did American soldiers actually 'save the day' in either COD 4 or MW2?Hugga_Bear said:
In COD4 it was Price Soap and Gaz who did most of the work saving the world, including fighting their way through an enemy-held nuclear launch facility to abort/destroy already launched nukes. All after the Americans suffered catastrophic loss of life and failure due to the nuclear explosion.
In MW2 it was, again Soap and Price who did most of the work to save the day. And it was Price who was responsible for the EMP that removed the Russian invader's edge. Not to mention that General Shepard, an American, was the one responsible for the Russians invading America, the deaths of countless civilians, the brutal murders of most of TF 141, and ,quite possibly, one of the people responsible to the war sparked in MW3. All in all, I'd say that the Modern Warfare trilogy subverts/averts/whatever the "America saves the day!" Trope that so many Escapists seem to despise.

While I'm quite willing to be proved wrong, MW3 will be another straight line shooter that while fun the first time through will have little to no replay value and will last for most FPS vets a pathetic 3-4 hours of actual play time after removing all the "cinematic experience" parts.
Any longevity for the game will be based wholly off the multiplayer aspect and will most likely not stray far from exactly the same thing we are seeing now with the past 4 CoD games.

Don't waste your money. Seriously, Modern Warfare 1 had a pretty decent premise and that just got diluted in MW2 into a Bay'splosion filled spectacle without any coherent story tying it all together.Vengeful Dusk said:
I'm not hating, however. There's nothing inherently wrong with 'splosion filled action games, as long as they are fun to play. And at the end of the day, Modern Warfare 2 WAS fun to play. BUT if you wait a few months you can just have that fun AND save money at the same time.
If you DO still want to play MW2, do it for the entertainment value. If you do it for the story, I promise you that you will be disappointed. I've met exactly one person who enjoyed MW2 for the story...... and I've met quite a lot of people who played MW2.....
You've now met twoGrizzlerBorno said:
I liked it, though I admit it has its share of problems. It will be interesting to see if the plot holes from the second game turn out to be deliberate for the third game. Either way, totally getting this opening day.
