Hah! So, second game related post in a row here. But still – I felt like saying something. Call of Duty 6th installment – Modern Warfare. Awaited so long, and finally here, though not without bumps and bruises (gimped pc version with no dedi servers, etc), but its not what I was going to write, as I havent yet got the chance to try multiplayer. What I wanted to express now is my awe of cinematic masterpiece that single player campaign is. Though short (some 6 or so hour on average) its just an amazing thrillride from start to end. And I’d say that it means something that even me, who usually finds single player campaigns boring as hell, found this amazing. Ranging from Siberian snows to Afghanistan desert to Washington, DC all in flames and including even snow mobile cache sequences. That paired with Zimmers original score it’s just epic.

Whats especially interesting that in lots of places you can see what inspired IW in making of this game. Take Gulag level with Price extraction for example – doesn’t that just strike you as a homage to Michael Bays “The Rock”? Especially the shower room. Or green smoke on top of White House to signal that your still combat capable to cancel bombardment?

Yup.

Oh, and also few wallpapers after the jump! Read more »
