I agree with Comrade Vympel.Vympel wrote:What? No Russians? Fuck off, I'm not buying it.
According to my PC Gamer (US) article on the game, one of the MP perks will be "martyr" which unsurprisingly turns one into a suicide bomber.weemadando wrote:Bah! I wanted a Causcaus campaign as Russians!
Then again - maybe they'll be in MP? I wonder if there will be a "car bomber" class in MP...
Based on details from the IGN version (clarifying what I'd previously heard), though, am I correct in assuming that "Last Stand" means that (I guess unless headshotted) a player will be given a pistol, even if they didn't choose it for equipment, and will die either when hit again or after the last bullet is out?Hawkwings wrote:Looks gorgeous, sounds awesome, but again, no russians? I'm disappointed...
Multiplayer stuff looks really interesting. "Last stand" eh? Cool.
It seems to me silly not to get the game cause it doesn't appear to have Russians but... okay, I've heard stranger I suppose. Get out.SPC Brungardt wrote:What is with the Russian fetish?
I'd rather say that IGN was full of shit. It's a staple of CoD: US, British, Russian. Period. It's just not right having it any other way.Losonti Tokash wrote:That's...odd. Maybe GameInformer is full of shit but their CoD4 cover story made a point of saying there were missions where you play as Russian loyalists.
Grasping for a credible opponent while trying not to look racist or propagandistic, I imagine.Pelranius wrote:Seriously, what's with all the Russophobia in the FPS games? We've got COD4, Frontlines Fuel of War and Endwar.
I'm sorry, unless you own more Call of Duty games than I do, you get out.weemadando wrote:Get out.SPC Brungardt wrote:What is with the Russian fetish?
You were under the impression that the Russians in CoD were "good guys"? Did you miss the Enemy at the Gates first level?SPC Brungardt wrote: Okay, I can understand the particular fascination with Russians after thinking about it some, but then everyone must realize that the CoD's have always been 'good-guy-centric' and that that basically means any modern CoD wouldn't feature Russians prominently. I surmised that and so shrugged at the loss.
Been there, done that. It was called "Red Alert 2"...Kane Starkiller wrote:I wouldn't call it "fascination" but merely the fact that I'm sick and tired of games featuring wars on terror against "Kreplakistan". I want WW3: outright invasion of Russia, China and USA depending on which side you play and fighting on the streets of war ravaged Beijing, Moscow and Washington.
In which case, I have to agree - but hey, at least it's not World War 2, again.I got CoD, CoD:UO, CoD2 myself, all boxed. (haven't fucked with 3 as it's console only so that's a glorious maximum of 16 player online support for X360weemadando wrote:I own CoD, CoD:UO (both on steam), CoD2 (boxed for PC), CoD2 (again - this time on steam rather than boxed) and CoD3 for Wii (horrible).
) Actually though, the 1st one I got was CoD: Finest Hour for PS2 and I actually played this a bit online until I got the PC version and sold it. No I didn't and they are fighting the Nazi's, aren't they? I just get the feel CoD's about good versus evil and necessarily western-centric cause of the core audience.Vympel wrote:You were under the impression that the Russians in CoD were "good guys"?

Quoted for truth.. When I first saw the CoD4 name i had to groan.. ww2 has been done to deaht.. we're getting the video game version of MASH.. the games last longer than the war.AniThyng wrote:Been there, done that. It was called "Red Alert 2"...
Oh, you meant an FPS?
Sure, you go and play the pure shit that was MoH:PA. I'll go and play something that was actually fun and ran like something other than an arthritic two-legged dog.ray245 wrote:Hey! Why do you guys ALWAYS forget the pacific theater FPS? How many good games have come out for those? It's always nazis, nazis...Give me Iwo Jima!
Bah, Russians. Running around with their stupid AKs and stuff.weemadando wrote:Hey! Why do you guys ALWAYS forget the pacific theater FPS? How many good games have come out for those? It's always nazis, nazis...Give me Iwo Jima!
