I think the game is now so old and well known that the only person to be aggravated by my spoiler would be someone who's time-traveled from 2002, before the game had come out.Mimsofthedawg said:

That is a valid question how did they build it during the war when damn U-boats were sinking anything out of America...
REGARDING ALL THE POSTS ABOUT RAPTURE:
Rapture is located at 63° 2' N, 29° 55' W, which places it at about two hundred sixty-nine miles west of Iceland's capital, Reykjavik. According to the National Geophysical Data Center, the depth at this point would be around 1500m, that's almost a mile. Rapture's size is rumored to be around the size of Manhattan, New York, New York. Rapture began build in 1946 and finished only in 5 years in 1951. Given all this information, and seen Rapture in-game, I, myself being a civil engineering student for 3 years, can say that it is a fantastic world albeit very unrealistic. Obviously realism isn't something to pick on when talking about a game like this, however to answer the question: "How was rapture built?", we'll have to. First of all, visible sunlight disappears only 200m under, so the light seen outside the windows, can only be light installations. The whole city is built in Art Deco style, however, the forms of the buildings are completely inappropriate for holding off the huge amount of pressure from the ocean mass. Since the buildings are dry, and therefore can be seen as hollow shells, they would just collapse under the pressure. And in 1946, there were no means of building underwater whatsoever, and even today, it's practically impossible. For comparison, Hydropolis in Dubai is only 20m underwater, and the costs for building are 700 million dollars. Which brings us to the next point: money. No man, or country has enough money to build Rapture, the technologies don't exist even today. The expenses for materials, and transport are immense, and the means of transporting material to the building site on the sea bed are even more so. Also you can't build on the surface of the ocean to sink it afterward, as it will sink immediately on it's own, and I doubt a stable country could build Rapture using it's whole budget, even if there were materials that could withstand this kind of pressure. So to sum it up, Rapture is a beautiful and creative work of art, but there is no way it could exist in reality. Rapture... can't be built.

Guys on last floor dies because your friend goes there and starts shooting there from far away, if I got your guestion right.topsyturvy said:
Something from the original Modern Warfare, why is
Also, why does Soap have such a stupid name? What kind of sadistic parents would name their child after a cleaning product?
Price invincible in the entire game, never falling unconscious or doing anything more than flinching from being shot, blown up or twatted upside the head, but when a piffling little Hind tries to kill him he passes out like a wuss?

Well, first of all Soap is a nickname (It's still pretty stupid though. How do you get a nickname like that?).Sombra Negra said:
As for the Russians attacking the US for one terrorist attack, the game said Russia was under Ultranationalist control and surely they would only need a tiny excuse to declare war on anyone.
I never said that the EMP didn't kill the astronaut, however, it was a nuke. Price launched it and the explosion generated an EMP. In space.Tankenstein said:
"Price however, temporarily goes rogue, and leads Task Force 141 to raid a Russian port and gain control of a nuclear submarine. Price uses the submarine to launch a SLBM toward Washington D.C.. However, he sets the warhead to detonate in the upper atmosphere, which destroys the International Space Station, but spares the capital city from utter destruction. The resulting electromagnetic pulse cripples the vehicles and electronic equipment of both the U.S. and Russian forces in the city."

Middle of the fourth paragraph on plot.
I don't deny that a burst of electromagnetic radiation would significantly harm such things as satellites, but you cannot blow up a nuke in space and send out a "shockwave". Space doesn't work that way.
The most hilarious thing about FFVIII is that the game acknowledges that its plot stops making sense near the end. If I recall, it was Laguna who lampshades it, by say something like: "Yeah, yeah, who cares about that? Let's just end this" when Doctor What's-his-name is about to explain everything.Littaly said:I thought it was just meAxeli said:
Also, if I didn't love it so much, I would probably rant on about FFVIII ^^
Ok, you see, Bowser told Baby Bowser Peach was his mother so Baby Bowser would kidnap her. Peach isn't his motherSuper_Nintendo_Chalmers said:
