Zero Punctuation: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw

I agree, the american levels were just building to building while the task force got to have the james bond levels that actually left me wanting more.j_meister said:
My favorite part of the spec-ops levels were the stealth because you and your friend could act like you knew what you were saying when you would say "Tango down" and "Four charlies, 12 o'clock"
Brilliant, I loved solid soap joke.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head, there were some brilliant parts in cod 2, but then all of sudden it gets torn to bits by yet another "oh I have been hit by a bullet and everythings gone blurry" moment, or a few other over used cliches like the "suprise ! you`ve been murdered"

I wonder if Yahtzee meant anything significant by 'pre-owned games scam' ?
It seemed to be on a deeper level than the rest of the video.
Ah well, I doubt he'll even see this in between playing whatever game he's reviewing next.

Seemed to me that Yahtzee said exactly what I was expecting him to say - too short and too gimmicky. But I just do enjoy the way he says it (cat in a ceiling fan gave me a chuckle, as did Solid Soap).
Did anyone else feel like he was more pissed off than usual? I expect a degree of vitriol, but it feels like this game really hit a button. Perhaps it is the big-budget nature of it or maybe the fact a game that sounds a bit mediocre and re-hashy is making big bucks which just encourages more mediocrity.

I actually really enjoyed this review, it seemed on the money for the most part. Hopefully he uses that james bond face more.
The favella on veteran was one of the most frustrating things I have ever done inmy entire life... clearing the way ahead to have some arse appear on a roof behind you and go *blam blam blam* was rather annoying. Sure the campaign was short, but I dont regret buying the game.Distorted Stu said:
I feel that the dev team for this could have just made an animated movie, or series of books and everything would have been fine, infact they probably would have won many awards, so many that the box being shipped to them would need to reinforced with kryptonite. Yet sadly the media wants to shoot, oh god thats horrible pun, for having our amazing narrative in intereactive-game format. Although I would have most definitely would have bought a book with the same story, or watched a movie like this.
this amazing to me that this one has such good things said about it while world at waSTOP (i dont want to get into this tonight so i shall say something else)
the puppy thing wasnt funny and it kind of killed the rest of the video after i saw it lucky for you it was at the end........animal abuse, not cool
and i would also like to say that i wish modern warfare 2 would die due to its spectatular vampireing of players from gears halo rainbow 6 and bad company

Apology accepted graciously.TheRealCJ said:
MW2 fans are indeed very intense and vocal, but I guess I can understand because it's such a big release and we gamers get very excited and obsessive about our games.
The amount of bitching and whining about it is a lot, but in the case of PC gamers, justified.
I wouldn't like to see it get the same level of Halo does, because in my opinion it's a superior game (though I did find Halo 1 and 3 a lot of fun)
I found it much easier than COD4 Veteran.KiKiweaky said:
Favela wasn't too bad once you learned to just be a camping little bastard, get a wall behind your back so you can't be flanked, and let them come to you.
My ultra pussy technique was to hide behind the dumpster right at the beginning, before even dropping down to the 2 cars, and pick em off left and right.
Where should I start?
What I do get I agree with, for the most part; but there are parts of the review I didn't get at all......actually, maybe it's the timing, cause I watch it at night, after school, when I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
The developers do seems to be too attached to the concept of killing the player a bit much. To top on that, I kind of get this feeling like the script seems so similar to MW1; some conspirator try to stirs things up a bit a possibly try to start a war, and you some soldiers of all people will need to save the day. The ending scene also seems so familiar; you're heavily wounded but with sheer will you manage to kill the antagonist anyway......which makes me wonder whether Soap is secretly related to Batman, and had been wearing a cutting edge combat suit under those uniforms.
I'd still say the game play works, although the story could use a touch of innovation. But that comment is strictly for the developers; what I do have to complain about Yahtzee is that for me it's getting harder and harder to get what he is actually saying......I get about less than 30% of the entire video and had to fill the rest of the blanks with my imagination; I couldn't laugh at all throughout this video......I wonder whether or not it is because I'm getting over Zero Punctuation; or is it because Yahtzee's demonstration style had change so much over the years that it no longer is the funny yet witty video I adore so many episodes ago......well, I do hope whatever it is its only temporary. I'll see you guys under the discussion thread for the next review.
