Now, I understand that not everyone would know that these are in fact not what real Marines and soldiers are issued. However, I do expect that the creators of Modern Warfare would do even just a tiny bit of research to unveil to themselves that this is just fucking absurd. Those huge things are mimicking something that hasn't been used in many years, and were replaced by the PVS-14's around the same time I got to the fleet. This game is supposed to be in the near future, and these are what they're passing off as "high-tech modern night-vision".
I took a picture of myself with my issued PVS-14 night-vision. It's about a quarter the size, doesn't strap to my head, and doesn't cover up both of my eyes.
I was really impressed with Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's extremely realistic portrayal of Iraq and modern war. This is disappointing, that they will pass these things off in a $150 DELUXE EDITION and people will think it's really sweet. I hate you Activision.
okay, i am a big fan of your art. i love what you do and how you do it. but you are being a douche. you need to understand shit before you speak. modern warfare doesnt take place in iraq. it takes elements of the war in irag, but its not about the iraq war. they never once say the word iraq. and your knitpicking isnt helping the stereotype of military men getting angry at things that dont perfectly represent them. and i dont know where your getting the idea that they put 0 research into the game. its pretty much known for being the most researched war game in america. anyways, heres another thing that you should take into consideration, ITS JUST A FUCKING VIDEO GAME. NOT REAL. A VIDEO GAME. HAVE YOU SEEN THE CLIPS WHERE THEY RIDE THE SNOWMOBILES? THEY SAY OPENLY THAT THATS NOT REAL. ITS JUST FOR THE SAKE OF THE GAME. this is just what people imagine when people say night vision. and the game is designed for normal people. civilians. people that dont know any better. in lamens terms, dont be dissen activision.
ReplyDeleteWhat I'm gathering from your post, Zaengo, is that you already bought the deluxe pack, and now you feel like a complete loser when you expected to feel like a real Marine?
ReplyDeleteReally though, Zaengo, your response is very under-educated. I find that it is -you- who should "understand shit before you speak." Perhaps I am being a bit over zealous here, but I cannot stand when people such as yourself feel as if they need to rant in order to defend a shitty game (and with poor spelling and grammer) by a crap company. "Its pretty much known for being the most researched war game in America," Oh really? Well it looks like they missed a few key-notes, my friend. Yes, it -is- just a video game, but you only prove how terrible of a game it is by your poorly laid defense.
In response to your comment, "your knitpicking isn't helping the stereotype of military men getting angry at things that dont perfectly represent them," I say, "Fuck you." You, sir, are not being shot at, in a shit-hole country, trying to stay alive and defend the respect and honor of you, your family and your country, and if you are... You're clearly in the Army, so your opinion is automaticly void in this discussion. Do us all a favor and run into LA traffic during rush-hour with you're new super awesome deluxe Modern Warfare nightvision goggles.
Next time you plan to rant, spell-check, or if you plan on defending a shit video game in the near future get an education first, or don't share your half-assed opinion. If you want a good "war game" go play Metal Gear Solid 4.
