Hi
As the title suggests, this is an egghead discussion~
There are two biggest confusion for me during the game play:
1) If ultranationalist party has already seized the power in Russia, then what the hell they start to kill civilians in Moscow? This doesn't quite make sense.
2) During the invasion carried out by Russian forces against the States, the loading CG suggests that NORAD missed a regional scan of DC, how can that be?!
The story line of MW and MW2 seem to be good, however, I think there are too many crazy things in the storyline, and within about 6 hours of gaming, those things happen quite radical.
David, Gaming companies don't need to get things accurate, especially 1 as crazy as IW. They juz need it to SOUND possible and links well in their storyline.
1. Makarov is a terrorist. That's wad he does. terrorize. So he scapegoats the US. He doesn't care abt his own ctrymen. See Taliban in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Similiar MO.
2. If u realise near the end of the CG scene, u realise NORAD lost major sensor networks, like SATCOM, SOSUS. This indicates countermeasures by the russians as part of the invasion. Information is gold in war, and denying that to ur enemy is a huge part of 1s success. Hence by the time NORAD got to the scan of DC, they alrdy got jammed. Also notice the fact that juz be4 that, they show a few sat track paths, but no sats. Got shot down perhaps?
And yes, MW2 has a crazy and at times unbelievable storyline. Part of IW's lust for controversy and oneupmanship.
Well i understand the story somehow but i don't cared about it in this game since the gameplay was perfectly awesome!
When the gameplay is not good you have to follow the story if the story is not good too then the game should be thrown in the trashes!
That is how i play the game!
example: I don't play Final fantasy games for the gameplay! because i don't like it, i just love it because of the story!
And for MW i think the story was ok and a little confusing!
well...that's one way of playing it. but i think the story is very important..just as much as the gameplay and grahpics. today game makers talk about immersive games and realism...well..if that's the case then...the story..music..game play...and graphics have equal importance.

Well, that is how it works for me. and i know story is really important, but if it is confusing and you can't understand anything about it then you should have a reason in playing the game so you look at the gameplay, graphics, etc..
It works the opposite too.
