2023 Activision is so scared of backlash that the No Russian moment in their Modern Warfare reboot is a five minute movie where you sit around in a plane and wait for a Gay Russian doing his best Bane impression to blow it up, kek.

I was wondering how they were going to handle this.
He looks so soulles after original mw2 Makarov
He has no presence as a villain in the new games. What the frick went wrong?
They ruined General Shepard too, made him a fat balding Pentagon homosexual in a suit. Nu COD is so fricking gay.

Got a nice splatter already. I'm happy.
Wait, MW3 came out already? I thought it was next week.
I only play for the campaign, and I just got a tooth out and am sitting around miserable and bored. Is there a way to early access the campaign? I thought it was just for multiplayer.
Campaign early access came out a few hours ago, they've been doing this since last year
Awesome. Gonna go buy it now unless you guys tell me it's shite.
>unless you guys tell me it's shite.
It's an Activision-Blizzard game in 2023, and a Call of Duty game on top of that...
Wait a second, do I need to order the 'vault edition' to play the campaign early? Because that's $100 and I don't have that kind of money to waste.
Yes, welcome to the newest israelitery technique. Activision in particular has been selling "early access" to their games in overpriced special editions. IIRC Diablo 4 had a 5 day early access period that came with the $80 version. Starfield did this as well and sold it with a $100 version.
>Literally none of these games were worth buying or even playing for free
Fortunately I didn't want to play any of those games.
But if I don't start playing the campaign today, by the time I beat it, Ganker will be done discussing it.
Also should note Lies of P did the same thing, and that turned out to be a game worth playing.
Hard disagree. Early access is the best solution to the current problem. I paid $100 for early access in Starfield. After 2 hours I was still snorting copium but after 10 I finally gave up and got my full $100 refund since the game wasn't officially out yet. You can literally play the entire game for "free" and decide whether or not it's supporting the dev. If so, you "tip" them an extra 30-40 dollars. Everyone wins honestly.
Can I refund like that on Xbox and Playstation, or is it just a Steam benefit?
No idea since I only use Steam.
steam. the israelites at xbox and goystation have a policy that once you started the game you can't refund it
This webm is always so funny. Who is this made for?
I vaguely remember a post claiming that it was a video made to mock pro-nationalist russians back when democratic russians could talk somewhat freely/be controlled opposition but I'm not sure that's true
It's an excerpt from primetime national TV show. Yes, the Russian TV is that deranged. It's meant for wewuzzing boomer ziggers to stroke their flaccid hoses to.
The video might've been made by some editor hipster as a post-ironic joke, that got out of hand.
Tina Ivlev sisters... our girl is on Makarov's side
Why is NuJill Valentine working with the Russians?
Does Makarov die in this one or is there gonna be a MW4
mw4, they have to milk the modern warfare name again in the future
He dies yeah, so does Soap and Shepard. Ghost actually lives in this one, figured he's basically the face of CoD at this point so they can't.
Spoilers fricker!
Makarov doesn't die, but he kills Soap and takes off. Price kills Shepard.
The original was super controversial but I'm a bit surprised they didn't do it again considering the media is even more anti-russian now
From what I've watched the campaign looks terrible this year. Lazy warzone mission design and a paperthin shit plot.
>mfw
its silly that the woman didn't jump out the plane like she wasn't watched or kept in ropes
Why does Makarov look like someone you'd see on Twitch? What did they do to him?
>Alex is alive
>Grives is alive and a good guy
did I miss something
Yeah, the MP has story now
Wait what? I have to play boring CoD multiplayer to get the rest of the story?
How does that even work, when you're playing with randos and other people aren't gonna want to wait while you watch a 2 minute cutscene.
I think it has something to do with the battlepass. If you really want to know all the details, there are uploads on YouTube.

Thanks Anon.
I can believe Graves isn't dead cause all you did is blow up a tank with his voice coming out of a speaker - he could easily have been anywhere else besides the tank. No body = not dead.
No problem.
Alex returned like nothing during the batlepass, they made his sacrifice totally zero
Unlike Graves, Alex doesn't make any sense, as he's (you). You don't see a body with Alex either, but it wrecks the story to have him come back.
On the other hand, does that mean his romance with Farah is still on? That was one of the things I liked about the reboot; it was understated and subtle (something CoD isn't usually good at) but still there and part of the plot.
Each MP season since BO4 or MW19 started with a cutscene which is part of the storyline whose details were expanded in Warzone/DMZ special events. In MWII, it more or less went like this:
>After Hassan's death, Laswell makes a call for deniable assets to keep the war against Al-Qatala.
>Two PMCs, SPECGRU and Kortac answer her call, going after the terrorists, but also each other (the MP matches)
>AQ recently took over Al Mazrah, and four another PMCs take interest there: Legion (USA), White Lotus (China), Black Maus, and Crown (UK).
>Legion wanted to cover their ass about some pass dealings with AQ, White Lotus wanted to expose the former to the news, Crown takes interest in Building 27, which was taken over by Shadow Company, and Black Maus just want to get shit done.
>Then Shadow Company discover a lead related to Konni PMC in Ashika Island and conquer it, thus everyone gets hired to kick them out.
>Eventually White Lotus expose Legion's dirt, with everyone's last DMZ missions about taking care of that mess. Legion gets destroyed as result while White Lotus expand their operations in the Asian merc "market".
>Then Valeria escapes jail and moves the entire Las Almas cartel to Al Mazrah. A pissed off Alejandro joins SPECGRU to hunt her down. And a new PMC known as [CLASSIFIED] also wants the mercs to look into the matter.
>Meanwhile, Black Maus discover new secret places in Al Mazrah and that Crown were the financers of Building 27, while White Lotus finds clues about the Shadow/Konni feud. Eventually Laswell and her mercs kicks Las Almas from the Middle East.
>Then Nikto, who went AWOL, was involved in a terrorist attck in Vondel. In response, a rich Russian corpo hires some PMCs to put martial law. Suspecting foul play, the PMC Phalanx is hired to look into the matter.
>For their part, Black Maus decides to colaborate directly with Laswell and White Lotus begins to serve as bridge between Shadow Company and the mercs.

Thank you Anon! I've never really played Warzone. Does this mean that Black Ops also has their story expanded? Those this mean the two universes storylines have merged? I think they work better separately, there's no road to go from nu-Modern Warfare to the future of 2025 that we saw in BlOps2.
Also, since Warzone operates in seasons, does this mean I won't be able to see past years stories and cutscenes if I started playing now? I've never played Warzone, I haven't touched multiplayer in a long time.
Yes, they're united. The main link being Imran Zakhaev being a former Perseus agent (who ironically left by Cold War because he thought Perseus went too far.) And yes, there was a Warzone plot for Cold War, where an Perseus operative named Stitch gets revenge aginst Adler for both half blinding him back when he was just a Soviet egghead and braiwashing Bell by torturing him using the Numbers program, with it being part of a bigger plan to cause conflicts in the future.
Well, they did work with AQ to move Hassan and the missiles to Mexico and Chicago, so there's a foothold there.
Well, the mission was originally about finding a MIA squad led by Alex inside the Soviet silo, only to learn that both Harid is inside and he's looting the place to nuke Russia into Oblivion. Harid even goes "I'll allow bygones be bygones if you help me kill Ruskies" but Farah was in a familicide mood. As for why he's not getting banganged by the Bratva or something instead, blame Victor Zakhaev deciding to free him in exchange for help for their own Anti-Russian goverment plans, aka the plot of Warzone 1.
So Harid hates the Russians so much he's willing to side with the ultranationalists who's goal is to make Russia even more Russian so they can invade even more of their neighbors?
It's more of a enemy of my enemy thing in MW19!Warzone (it helped the Zakhaevs really hated Barkov), but by MWII they're are at each other throats, with Makarov playing Hassan for a fool and Konni assraping AQ during the end phase of MWII!Warzone.
>>Then Valeria escapes jail and moves the entire Las Almas cartel to Al Mazrah.
What the frick would they do there? They don't know the language, they have no connections, and the place is being run by Muslim fundamentalists who are presumably anti-drugs. Even if this place is like Afghanistan where poppies grow everywhere, this makes zero sense even by nu-MW standards.
>Then the Atomgrad co-op missions happen, where Price, Gaz, Farah and Alex hunt down Harid in an abandoned Soviet nuclear silo (which used to belong to Perseus from BOCW) and eventually kill him, but not before he gives a warning about the "true" Russians.
>Then it's revealed the mercs from Vondel were Konni all along and their boss being Makarov, they kick Shadow Company out of Building 27 and take over certain places from Al Mazrah.
>Farah and Alex reluctanly ally with Graves and Shepherd to stop Konni's ploy.
>Shadow Company assaults Konni's emplacements in Al Mazrah and steal all their nuclear missiles and material, but Makarov saw it coming and had two insiders who nabbed one of the Shadow's transport to recover some of the stole cargo.
>>Then the Atomgrad co-op missions happen, where Price, Gaz, Farah and Alex hunt down Harid in an abandoned Soviet nuclear silo
Wasn't Harid either in jail or turned over to the Russians? Price and Farah were angry at him but didn't want to kill him, what changed?
> a warning about the "true" Russians.
He hates the Russians, he's not on their side?
Wait so they are remakes? Someone told me they were just reboots, or something. Different stories with the same characters
they're reboots
Similar stories with similar characters, just more 'modern' and stupider.
Well yeah, that's the point. Games used to embrace controversy rather than flee it. Now the most controversial things games do is uglify women.
They're kind of reboots with some parts that are entirely new, some that are inspired by the originals, and with others that are ripped straight from the original games but the order of events is jumbled up. It's weird.
I think the main issue was not the russians but that you, a player, suppose to commit mass shooting which is super sensitive topic
wtf
What went wrong?
>Russian
>looks like a Tatar
That's Makarov? He looks like one of those bussin zoomers.
Was there really a lot of backlash? I really appreciated that part of the game even though I was 12 when I played it and having an option to skip it was a good compromise.
These reboots are so fricking gay
>woman easily overpowers men twice her size
Gonna cry?
Turns out you don't need Judo if you're 300lbs fighting 100lbs.
so what is the story here? Its not on israelitetube yet and I am not watching aids ridden straemers
does nuMW have any moments like the nuke, all ghilied up, no russian and the MW3 gas attack?
so far the only mission I've seen mentioned by my friends who still play CoD is the one inside the arab apartment in London
Literally why, mw2 sold significantly more copies because of it. Or is it too hard to have an actual impactful moment than do historical revisionism.
who is this puffed cheeks looking queer
this is makarov
That's not Makarov either.
Can't believe we started from MW2019 to this garbage, this reboot trilogy is a wasted potential.
mw19 was hot garbage lmao ,all of nuMW has been shit.
I disagree but you do you.
MW2019 was pretty meh from a story standpoint too.
most cod games are
>war if one side does absolutely nothing
I fail to see how this applies to reality
And yet, the Russians were convinced that they could just steamroll Kiev in 3 days with no resistance in spite of the past 8 years of resistance against the Donbas invasion and kiosks selling novelty toilet paper with Putin’s face on it in the Kiev metro.
>past 8 years of resistance against the Donbas invasion
Invasion of Donbas by whom exactly you forgot to mention?
