@GreyFoxV1: ): This kind of uninformed comment makes me sad inside. #modernwarfare2

I'm sorry that you're the sort of of person who mashed the A button down as fast as he could to skip cutscenes and debriefings. I'm sorry you completely glossed over all the back and forth between your team while you were playing. I'm sorry the power of being in first person the entire time, throughout everything you were doing, aka the Freeman effect, didn't work on you.
For a lot of us, however, the characters connected pretty hard. Likely because they had been through the same hell we went through (going along with the whole Freeman effect) every step of the way, and their reactions to our actions were much the same as our own (I for one really did yell loudly when I was doing my balls to the wall run of a rooftop with Sgt Foley with a pair of green flares so we didn't get bombed by our own guys). #modernwarfare2

*SPOILER*
His and the PC's death scene was more shocking to me then the airport scene. Second time my favorite character died in MW. #modernwarfare2
11/15/09
@Rem: No shit! That scene really came as a shock. Although my reaction when I was back in Soap's shoes pretty much amounted to "HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!".
It was still pretty surprising that basically the whole fucking cast of the game died except for the two survivors of the first game.
Althouhg it makes you wonder if they created the playable character of Roach solely for that one scene lol
11/15/09
@Fieldy: Don't forget Hunter 2-1, they all survived. I'm guessing Foley, Dunn and Ramirez will be back for MW3. Foley is superb, he was badass. Like when he tells Dunn to shut it after he starts flipping out after the EMP!
I just hope we are back in Soap's shoes for MW3 and he and Price take down Makarov. I'm begging IW not to kill off Soap, Price, Foley, Dunn or Ramirez (or even Nikolai for that matter) but knowing them and how much they seemed to like killing off Jackson and Gaz from MW1 and Ghost and Roach from MW2 they will probably kill them all. :( #modernwarfare2
11/15/09
EVEN MORE SPOILERS
I knew the twist about Shepherd, but didn't know it was going to play out that way. In terms of giving you a reason to hate someone, I think IW has explored about as many different ways to pull it off as possible. #modernwarfare2
11/15/09
But frankly, I can't say I care much about them.
Just like in the original MW, for me it's all about the S.A.S. badasses! I really consider them to be the main characters of the MW story.
I enjoyed the US invasion missions ( especially the one after the EMP) but I always eagerly awaited going back to Roach and TaskForce 141.

Another way to look at it:
- the US missions focused on the regular warfare kind of deal, like older COD titles
- the TF 141 missions had more of a Hollywood-like action movie feel to them.
I swear the shower scene during the Gulag mission was ripped straight off of the movie The Rock.

@AceofCase: lol Red Dawn. I heard so much praise about how that movie was hilarious that when I finally watched it I thought it was the most boring piece of shit ever. It almost put me to sleep.
That being said, I did get a good laugh when I reached a certain level and saw it was called "Wolverines!" lol #modernwarfare2

Nah, I looked it up on the Call of Duty Wiki. Gaz was shot in the head and died in MW1, Ghost is a new character just voiced by the same guy. #modernwarfare2
11/15/09
I know, Gaz dies and then the guy voices a new character named Ghost who hides his face. lol
It's practically begging for a conspiracy theory-type 'urban legend' of sort.
11/15/09
Don't ruin the illusion!
Hell, I'm willing to go with a freakish cyborg being brought back to life to help his friend deal if it means that there's more Gaz. #modernwarfare2

People need their "fix". I can see the boycotts now. "Almost full price for an expansion! Boycott!" and then they all head to the store or Steam.
If they can wring 10 more bucks out of every copy, they will. I predict $49.99 for a 3 hour campaign. 4 new maps and that's it. #modernwarfare2
