No survivors! I try to find all the people who lived through the initial hail of bullets and direct impact them. Or knife em.

Short version:
Loaded machinegun in hand, right trigger pressed down, and an airport painted with bodies after about 10 minutes of finger-wearing bullet spraying.

Long version:
Screen fades in. I'm in an elevator with about 5-7 other men. They are also are loading up their machineguns and other equipment. One of the men (presumably the leader) tells us ''No Russian'' for some reason and the doors open up to a crowded airport. I ask myself if this really is necessary, but I had been playing on Veteran untill now, and the relaxing gameplay technique of holding-down-the-right-trigger-and-never-letting-go technique, did not work well to relax my sore right index and my now badly snapped controller. While I was shooting along, I again, asked myself if this really was necessary.
And after the game remade the opening scene from the game The Darkness (and that was the third time I died..) and the next level was loading up, I felt... Un-impacted, if that's even remotely english.

(The story was so fragmented and I didn't give a crap about all the pointless cameo's, for all that wondered.)

To those whom opted not to do anything but walk through, using your imagination, pretend that every one of those civilians is in fact a goomba. Now, pretend that you're Mario, and go to town.

I shot through everything that moved and enjoyed the hell out of it, it was a hell of an experience.

I see topics on whether or not you have played the level but I'm interested in what you did when you played it. Step by step how you reacted to playing the level.

MY EXPERIENCE
I didn't shot at all. I looked around, quite shocked, waiting for someone to ask me why I wasn't shooting. By the time when went down to the ground level I shot at some guy who was crawling away. It was a instinctive reaction from playing too many FPS games but the shot didn't kill him, so I stopped firing.

When the police arrived I tried to shoot the terrorists in the back. I was killed instantly. Upon restarting I noticed the police managed to kill a few of terrorists so I waited until there was only a couple left and tried to shoot them in the back again. I died instantly again. I tried to run back into the building and shot them from inside but I was killed again (I realised I might have some explosives strapped to me). So I just completed the mission as it was laid out.

I have to say, because my way of playing the level wasn't allowed, I felt a little manipulated. But it was very affective. I hadn't felt that disturbed playing a game since the first time I saw Sub-Zero rip off a head with the spine still attached.

So what did you do? Shoot and love it? Hide in a corner? Not shoot at all? Not judging, it is just a game, but it's interesting to see how people react to it. And how they contextualise what they're doing.
Lightweight, I name you.

points for guessing my increasingly obscure references will, as always, be handed out


how on earth were you DISTURBED by the spine pull? It, like all fatalities, is hilarious!

i spent an HOUR trying to effectively kill ALL of my asshole buddies. And i got damn close, and damn creative, or i should say resourceful, throwing my grenades so that they would explode while the assholes ran TOWARDS me. anyways i got damn close only to find out that the leader COULDN"T die. he was immortal. I discovered this when he came into the elevator with me after i had killed all of his buddies, and unloaded half a clip of my very well ammunition gun into his face only to have him kill me while i was reloading.

This pissed me off. why was HE immortal! It wasn't fair. I personally think that if i can react however i want in this level, at least give me the chance to kill the leader! Yes you can make me start the game over after he drops dead, but at least i will have had the satisfaction of killin the douche!

What realism? I glanced at some of this stuff, I might have been concerned if it weren't for the fact that the people dying were 3 people copy and pasted repeatedly and all the screams seemed to be played over repatedly over something that while looked nice and resembled a Russian airport, but was still clearly a game.

I sprayed all the civvies I found, prone'd and tried to roll around in the blood of innocent people >:D Naw, not really, but I did what Makarov asked, like the little loyal bugger I am.

On a side note, I dunno why people are making such a problem out of it, that level didn't move or change me, it was just a slaughterfest for no apparent reason.

Personally I found the knife kill from above in "Just like old times" (I think that is the name of the mission), where you hold over that guards mouth and look his life disappearing from his eyes before entering the cave a lot more moving, as (imho) you could see regret and fear in his eyes just before they become dull and lifeless.

I shot a few people who were going to die anyways so as to put them out of their misery, and then when the SWAT showed up I played it like a normal level.

I shot around the civilans and aimed for the feet of the SWAT guys as if I was undercover. 'Cause I'm cool that's why.

The second time I played it however I just shot the civilians.

First playthrough I didn't kill any civvies. After that I just plain shot as many people as I could.

First time: shot civies, as I was told to play along by my CO.
second time: Shot only the wounded
Third time: Ignored the civies completely.

ever since, I've skipped it, mostly because it's a slow level.

Well the first time around I walked in front of one of the Russian assholes and got he mowed me down (I'm pretty sure the pathing and bullets are all scripted). The second time around I unloaded on everything. I've never felt so evil while playing a game.

the first time I hosed everything that moved.
The second time I realized I could save the ammo and didnt do anything until the FSB showed up.
Last time I played it I just shot my "Teammates" and counted how many I could kill before death

I ran around and killed people.

That's what I do EVERY TIME I play a videogame: run around and kill people.

In Perfect Dark, one of the cheesy lines the dying enemies would spout is "why me?"

My answer was always the same: Why? So I can run around and kill people.

No Russian was NOTHING compared to the merciless brutality I've committed against the NPCs in Fallout.

I guess that makes me sort of a psychopath then, because they didn't even need to ask me to start shooting, instinctive reaction I guess...
It's mine too when they delay plane times.
