    I'm upset about this, but not because it's 50 Cent....
    The guy can't talk!
    He mumbles (I guess I would after being shot in the face too) so I don't see how this could be good for the game.

    Hm... Firefly cameos, or "gangsta rap" cameos....
    ...
    BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
    I didn't have much faith in the COD franchise to begin with, shame they decided to take it this far.

    Another in a long list of things that give me a bad feeling about this game. First, they take away the "Call of Duty" trying to create a separate franchise so they can sell two games a year. Then, they add back the Call of Duty, because it looks like they need another "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" before the masses will accept it on its own. Then they show an E3 preview with ice-climbing and snowmobiles and other things that made me go, "meh." Now 50 Cent. Because he's a key plot element? No. Because he's an excellent voice actor? His own games show that's a no. Because he'll help sell the new Modern Warfare to casual fans, establishing it as its own franchise (which I still think is a suck idea)? Yes. Think I'll be sticking with the excellent CoD4 and underrated World at War.


    Wonder if the unheralded $60 PC price was created to pay for his salary? This just makes me feel like IW is adding tons of extra crap to the game that will, ironically, take away from the brutality and reality of the first Modern Warfare. Sorta like the bloody FPS equivalent of the Star Wars Special Editions.

    I don't listen to his music much or anything (I don't not like it either), but I always look forward to seeing Fitty in other stuff. Dude just has a certain aura of badassery to him that makes everything around him just a little bit cooler (for proof see video). He's probably the only mainstream rapper I'd actually believe was still an honest-to-god street thug at heart because of his personality. That's why I especially love to see him lend his talents to video games, cause that's exactly how I wanna feel like when I'm shootin' shit up; a hard as nails gangsta'. He makes me feel all bulletproof inside.

    I think everyone is just wondering why? just an unnecessary move by IW. Just goes to show that they still possess that "corporate" mentality, mo money mo money mo money

    @JackTretton:
    Well given that "mo money, mo problems," Infinity Ward will be having to fix their cameo choices.
    Next step? Modern Warfare 3, now featuring Soulja Boy.

    Seriously, Kotaku...the main thread comment count on this article from the main page reads 259, but when I enter this topic and scroll to the bottom, it says, "Show all 73 comments"...but there are supposed to be 259 comments!

    @a-xxv: I never thought that Kotaku was pro-censorship. If this is true, then it is very disturbing indeed. ANd what's wrong with parody? Racist or otherwise off-color comments I understand, but parody? Weird Al's whole career was based on parody.

    For a second there I thought he was going to actually appear in the game. In which case, I wouldn't have been buying it.

    Some of the posts in this thread, especially those along the lines of "50 Cent doing voice work in a mainstream, extremely hyped title?!? I'll never buy it!", are just completely absurd. I mean really, will the fact that you like/dislike this particular rapper's music have any bearing WHATSOEVER on your enjoyment of the game as a whole?
    Suppose that someone considered Keifer Sutherland a crap actor (I'm sure there's at least a few here), the fact he did some of the voice work for World at War just completely, utterly ruined that game for you, didn't it?
    Grow up.

    Everyone saying they've lost respect because of this needs to get outside, or something. It's really not that bad, if he's not an actual character. Hell, even if he IS a character, why should that matter? G's can be in the military, too, you know. Just sayin'.
