Alright, so far this game is awesome. Got my first kill with a really long-range grenade, brought a smile to my face. Few kills later, my Xbox red rings

Noooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A moment of silence for gekko's 360.

On the bright side, Microsoft is pretty fast about the process. I got my 360 back in under two weeks.

I have it, but I have about 3.5 hours of school before I play it.

I just got home with it but havnt played it yet.
And I like the instruction manual for it, 5 pages long. :P

is it actually called call of duty 4, 2?

It's called "Modern Warfare 2".

You're the third person I know of now whos system Red Ringed after playing this game.

I don't think I'll get it until I hook up my PS3 to the internet though.

2 weeks? I can't live 2 weeks without being able to play COD4-2. My Xbox actually red-ringed about 2 weeks ago, but we fixed it. Guess the fix didn't hold

Going to try to fix it again, and I'll have a backup. In the meantime, I've had to resort to plan B:

Oh, and this game is awesome.

Stop calling it CoD4-2.

The airport sequence is innerving to say the least. My wife was watching me play when it came up and we were both shocked (I actually had to put the controller down for a second to gather myself because it took me so off-guard). When I started playing again, my wife left the room because she was so disgusted and I "refused to participate" in the level even while playing it. See spoiler for explanation.

At first I didn't fire my gun at all, much less into a sea of innocent people. But then I started to get worried the men I was with would get suspicious, so I started unloading into the ceiling and floor. I've never been struck so viscerally by a video game before.

Man, this game is screwed up, but in a unforgettable and effective way. You don't come away from that game with any illusion that war is glamorous or romantic. It's brutal, deadly and in the end makes you feel utterly impotent. This game is in my Top 5, regardless of how short it is.

Is that the level that the game was warning about when it said some people may take offense?

I played it for a bit yesterday, mostly the offline co-op missions, but the single player is really good aswell. I enjoyed so far.

I'm really interested in this offensive video thing. I sooo want to see what's causing all this talk, but don't want to read anything about it, I just want to see it while playing.. Damn it, what happens!?!

Don't tell me. And no, I haven't read Prof's spoiler post.

It's actually the same approach that Super Columbine Massacre RPG took, only now it's on the greatest game of all time. When I got there I just said, "Holy shit, the ESRB must've taken a vacation."

Fox 6 · 11-12-2009, 02:00 PM

At first I was like "Dude, that is very disturbing", but ive come around.

It does add to the mood and the story of the game. I can play it and it doesnt bother me too bad.

Professor S · 11-12-2009, 02:57 PM

I think any controversy would only come if you took that level out of context. There is no joy in that level. Only horror, and that's the point. Such a great game.
