Modern Warfare 3 - The New "Shock & Awe"?

[gbemery]

I think they will put you in the shoes of a first time home buyer.

Planting bombs on trains and buses. Then, when they go off, mow down all the civilians in the area... WITH A LAWNMOWER!!!!

in MW3, everything is solved politically, there is no shooting.

Ha, I wish. That would make the game interesting, in my opinion.

You'll beat Neo-Nazis with Guitar Hero controllers.

Someone's been watching too much Zero Punctuation...
Of course, I kid.

Or it'll just be warhammer 40k.

*Modern Warfare gave us - The aftermath of a nuclear explosion leaving you with your last minutes of life. Being executed on live television. A last stand effort as the finale.

*Modern Warfare 2 gave us - Mowing down innocent civilians at an airport. Betrayal(s) from your own superior. An EMP missile causing the death of an astronaut. A last stand knife scenario.

My question is - What will be the new Shock & Awe for MW3? My guess is being brutally tortured. Assassinating a leader from an allied faction. Being in a stand alone situation with you protecting the lives of innocent civilians as a swarm of enemies come to annihilate you all.

I have a feeling the torture one is most likely to happen in the next game, but who knows.

Let me know what you guys think.

Just the fact that people are already discussing things like this despite the fact that MW 2 was released just 2 months ago makes it obvious just how much ACTIVISION is milking the franchise. I don't think there will be anything "new" in the third one. We will just get another short (though probably enjoyable) single player campaign and perhaps some new multiplayer modes.

Fixed that for ya'.

Anyways, I imagine the only way to increase the shock value even more would be to have helpless civilians turn into nuclear weapons, and you have a crowd of them around you at all times, and each time they explode that character dies and they start another story arch.

I'd play that!

wouldn't be much of a game would it?

 

[crepesack]

slaughtering an elementary school flled with kittins, puppies and koala bears. and then rapeing(sp?) the dead bodies.

And of course your Avatar is a kitten.

O.T. Probably re-enacting more Michel Bay movies. I mean come on, the Gulag, more like The Rock.

Totally agree with you, especially with the Spec Op mission set in the Gulag shower room. I just looked at my brother and was like "This is exactly like the scene in The Rock, except the people above us don't kill us all."

Modern Warfare 3 will probably make us do something like betray the U.S Army, assassinate the President, gain access to nuclear launch codes, mow down civilians in three consecutive airport terminals whilst trying to make it to your escape plane on the tarmac then blow up like five different countries with these nuclear bombs. And for each country that gets bombed, you get to watch it in first person mode through the eyes of a single mother trying to raise three kids by herself.

I still don't believe that this would be enough controversy for Infinity Ward though.

The president was already killed in mw2. He was the VIP in the safehouse (i think).

My best guess? Probably become some post apocalyptic scenario with rampant raping and pillaging basically ww2 with modern weapons.

agreed. you get to play as crack diplomat Ted Kennedy I mean (fake name) (Scottish name)

the rangers would have recognized the president and they never made any comments about the president being dead they just said the random VIP was dead more likly he was something like CIA director or a senator. The rangers on the level whiskey hotel say "man i hope the president made it our okay".

 

[I Stomp on Kittens]

I only see 1 or 2 serious posts...

 

[Magnalian]

in MW3, everything is solved politically, there is no shooting.

Then why is it still called warfare?

 

[PirateKing]

Well, it's not really shocking, but I've been thinking that when it starts you'll be part of a special team sent to hunt down Soap and Price.

 

[internetzealot1]

Soap an Price must murder and eat a farmer and his family to avoid starving.

Then, they'll ally themselves with Makarov for protection, and end up killing Ramirez's squad.

As Ramirez, you go into last stand and blow them up with a grenade.

Hey, its more plausible than MW2's story.

 

[Daniel Cygnus]

The president was already killed in mw2. He was the VIP in the safehouse (i think).

Why would the president be on the second story of a house in suburban DC rather than in a fortified bunker in the White House?

As for the shocking moment, I'd say that getting tortured in first person would be highly probable.

 

[DRTJR]

Probible Fighting Germans in Modern day France, Why? they when from Iraq/Afghanistan the the cold war(in modern times) so the next group is Germany. then MW4 will be against the British

 

[Lyri]

It will come out on a Mac, first.

 

[Neurowaste]

Soap and Price brutally blow up the moon, and then feast on dead babies in the aftermath of the remains on them moon crashing down and destroying most of civilization.......

OT:Eh,probably torture as you said,or having to assault the USS Nimitz or something to that effect. Basically the US getting fucked...

 

[Gir1yG4m3r]

slaughtering an elementary school flled with kittins, puppies and koala bears. and then rapeing(sp?) the dead bodies.

Probably.....then good luck with MW4 @_@

I can see Dick Cheney being a Lictor, or a genestealer....Did I just make a Dick Cheney joke? *Sprays self with water bottle. Bad fluffypuff!

OT:Curb stomping a pregnant woman, and then frying the fetus?
