The nukes
Nuclear weapons are almost as important to Call of Duty as guns and missiles and form a radioactive puddle on top of the U.S.’ already bloodstained history. But it’s nice when they’re safely embedded in a video game’s plot, unable to give generations of your family three arms.
MW2’s tactical nuke scene is not even in the same league as the scene in MWII. I would let MWII’s scene give me three arms. OK, maybe not three arms, but I could deal with an extra toe or two.
It devastates, blasting your character somewhere offscreen in a presumably melted heap and fans out a lingering plume of dust. A melancholy image for the game’s VICTORY screen to flash onto. The MW2 scene makes it seem like your character got kicked in the butt instead of gave your grandkids and your grandkids’ grandkids an eyeball on their forehead.
My verdict: MWII…is…the bomb…
The comments section: “Dear lord MW2 (2022) nuke is amazing.” Agreed.
