What did you think of what happened to Ghost in MW2

[MiracleOfSound]

It was very sad, but I was too glad to have Price back to dwell on it.

Seriously... seeing him aim his gun in my face for the first time was one of the happiest moments of my gaming life.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

I thought, "oh no, Gaz got killed, again..."

I wonder if he'll come back in MW3 wearing a wig along with his mask just so we know it's not the same person again, and then we'll be all the more shocked when it's him after he takes off the mask...right...riiiight?

And then the mask comes off to reveal Carmine in disguise.

Actually it's stupid because it is an insipid plot. It 's as if the monkeys down at Infinity Ward went "Gee well bow do we make the story more than SHOOT THE GUYS WHOSE NAMES DON'T POP UP WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEM, NOT LIKE YOU EVER COULD ANYWAY " to which someone conspicuously in a green helmet said "Golly lets do more of the same only with you getting shot in the face 3 more times than the 1st game" then laughed madly as he ran away to Bungie studios, and while that's strange if you ever played Call of Duty for the story it's because you couldn't hear anything and thought those men with guns were Pokemon trainers,if there is a plot it flails around with less objective then a man with half his head missing and in the place it would be is a headless chicken wearing a green nametag that read "POOR COLLISION DETECTION" ..weird.

Yes the end sounded like Ben Croshaw , for which I should be put in a toilet and burned for being an uninteresting unoriginal prick, ANNNNDDDDD HOW? Har Har

That rant was...I'm sorry, I can't be gentle about it, it was pretty bloody bad (my reccomendation, don't try to be witty and funny, it just comes across as weak and lame).

Also, critisising MW2 for having a weak story is like complaining that Final Fantasy games are lacking in action (in other words, it comes with the territory, what more did you really expect?).

Yes, towards the end things got a bit...confusing, but there was still a vague reason to keep going, to keep shooting, to keep fighting (and in a shooting game that's all you really need).

WHY GHOST WHY???!!! (weeping in corner)

I was hoping for a situation more like the one out of Aqua Teen - when the keep pulling the mask off and it's someone completely different...on that note if Gaz/Ghost ended up being meatwad showing he's a man's man that'd be epic...and would redeem the CoD franchise in my eyes. It would also explain how he could get shot in the face with a .50 gun, burnt and still be alive and still smell delicious.

I'd have to disagree with you about the story bit in terms of FPS = shitty story.

Half Life/Half Life 2 just for examples, and I actually thought the story in CoD4 wasn't bad by any means. Which made me think that it was going to be good, even if short, in MW2...but...those hopes were dashed pretty quickly.

I don't think roach died, every time they kill someone the last thing they see is a white light which roach didn't see

Ghost getting shot reminded me of Gaz which made me sad.

 

[Jarc42]

They got burned alive after being shot by Sheperd. I think that kills most people.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Meh, I find it difficult to display emotion for fictional characters, the only reason he died is because the creator wanted him to as part of the story, nothing we can do about it.

Also if they do make another game, then there will probably be a character with similar personality to Ghost, and I've got a feeling that he would also be killed off.

its like the show 24 if some didn't get silent count down after they didn't then they didn't die.

Wow someone intelligent amazing, pleased to meet you

and to the guy he quoted HAVE YOU PLAYED FINAL FANTASY? I only like JRPG's when thrown at the face of an emo but FF8 was amazing
And if FPS's have to have a bad story how come Halo 3 Portal HL Haze(kinda) and CoD4 all have good ones...I didn't really follow Cod4 but it had alot of flashes and kept my intrest

 

[Warmoon]

Overall, i was speechless, i just assumed that ghost was like a (pun incoming) "Spiritual" succesor of Gaz, if not himself.

 

[badgersprite]

Well, I knew someone was going to die in the game. I half-expected it to be the Americans again, which was why I was so surprised when DC wasn't nuked. Besides, Ghost and Roach needed to die in order for the story to make sense. Shepard couldn't let them live because they'd recovered the data that implicated him and his connection to Markarov - he was going to kill everyone connected to Taskforce 141, who he'd secretly been using all along to carry out his master plan, but he failed. Soap & Price couldn't be killed off because they're intrinsic to what happened in the first game, and in understanding what's happening next. Roach & Ghost wouldn't have been able to piece it together, because they weren't there in the first game, and wouldn't have understood the connection.

 

[Wuk]

if you look closely, you will see that Shepard shot Ghost somewhere in his chest (bloodmarks give it away when he is thrown in the ditch). And seconds later that Shadow company guy pores gas on Roach, but not on Ghost. I think Ghost survived, and i think Ghost is Gaz.

 

[godofallu]

I was shocked, and a little sadend. I thought he was awesome (not as awesome as Price, but close).

What he said. I was like WTF just happened? Oh snap, evil army guy.

 

[Megacherv]

It pissed me off that I went through that mission just to be shot dead by an ally.

Fuck, I was more upset when Dr. Tomuki/Tomoki died in Ape Escape 3 ("NO! MR. AFRO!!!")

 

[The Procrastinated End]

Well they need to kill off their main characters repeatedly in MW2 so someone had to die with Roach.
