Why all the hate on Last stand and martydom? I myself only occasionally use these. But come on guys, it's call modern WARFARE and you know what they say. "all is fair in love and war"
Your comment is shallower than the kiddies pool.
Better yet it's called
MODERN warfare. If you knew anything about
MODERN warfare you knew that it involves a lot of thinking and tactics. MODERN warfare is a lot more conspicuous and subtle than WW2 was, so grenade spammage, martyrdoms and as such doesn't really fit in.
Are nukes 'fair'? Why didn't USA just nuked Iraq? If there was another world war countries wouldn't use nukes (hopefully) because it would destroy the planet and no one wants that.
The game devs could have easily made a martyrdom class. The player would be stripped from all weapons and given a suicide dynamite pack. He would then try to close up on enemies and blow himself up. But that would get a lot of hate from the media wouldn't it?
But no no! This is the game industry! We don't need thinking in here! Lets just make games with more gore, tits and explosions so we can appease the dumb unwashed masses!
