They've always had little references making fun of COD in the battlefield campaigns though. Just play the Bad Company games, while they're pretty subtle, (especially in the second one) if you listen carefully you'll notice them everywhere.
A little overboard. I would rather not see an npc get mauled by a dog in a vicious way. I dislike when they trivialize death and killing and just try to to appeal to emotions, but I do think some games are a little smarter than we give credit for (Cod at least, I haven't played MW3 or bo2, I have no idea about Battlefield/Medal of Honor series). It is amazing that some people would rather see someone get mauled to death/tortured screaming then see a gunshot kill something quickly. I'm pretty sure most of the Cod games have a hint of anti-war/ war is futile message. I think the No Russian level was actually really engaging and actually sets a decent reason why russia would be pissed off at us enough to go to war, and it actually makes the US look like a dick in that situation and actually punished the protagonist for doing it. I mean Cod is no Spec Ops the Line, but even Spec Ops doesn't have people bleeding out, people getting crippled by grenades/explosive, losing limps as people are still alive, etc, all the terrible things that are really not engaging to see but a terrible part of war. I'm not sure about battlefield or medal of honors plot. I have heard bad things though.lSHaDoW-FoXl said:
Compare that to the arrogance of Activision. Every time they crank out a new CoD, their commercials don't show what the game looks like, just what you do in it, but with live-action. They're relying on the CoD name alone to sell the games. That creates false expectations.SKBPinkie said:
OK, I know CoD: Ghosts has an ad that shows what I think is in-game footage, but it doesn't look like any of its from any playable moments.
I think you misheard that holographic message from your dad. Don't let Jake play with Rewind and Fast-Forward buttons next time!McMarbles said:
I actually joked about this with my brother.
"So Call of Duty has a dog and female soldiers in MP, what's next" - me.
"Child soldiers. MGS toyed with it. But EA or Acti will give us playable child soldiers" -my bro.

Oh I don't know, I think the protagonist of the original Silent Hill game might disagree with that.canadamus_prime said:
One of the reasons why I was so reluctant to ever play Silent Hill 2 (though I did buy a used copy if it for $5 many, many years later) was that the game was edited to remove the evil baby monsters due to complaints over the demo released for it. I try not to support games or companies that bow to censorship. I still maintain for that reason alone Silent Hill 2 does not deserve the praise or recognition it receives... but this is a total side point. Today very few people seem to ever remember the killer kiddies from Silent Hill, when they were arguably the most freaky thing in the original rogues gallery.
Ok I was trying to make a joke, but thanks for the history lesson. Also I've never played a Silent Hill game.Therumancer said:Oh I don't know, I think the protagonist of the original Silent Hill game might disagree with that.canadamus_prime said:

Battlefield: 2014: Nazi Russians: It's bring your son to work day, and for this soldier, that day is hell.

Long answer: It's EA so it's entirely plausible.Houseman said:
Short answer: Yes.
So we can make a movie featuring a psychotic toddler killing people, but we can't make a game featuring psychotic baby? (smh)Therumancer said:Oh I don't know, I think the protagonist of the original Silent Hill game might disagree with that.canadamus_prime said:

I think I'm going to hell for almost choking on my tea with laughter after reading the bolded part.
Ahh, you special unicorn, never change. :')
