Modern Warfare 2′s 5 biggest plot holes

KoKuGamer: In my previous Tuesday List, I wrote a small blurb about the outright silliness of Modern Warfare 2’s plot, and how idiotic it was. In fact, I would go so far as to say that the plot of Modern Warfare 2 is quite possibly one of the worst written plots in the history of video games. Essentially, the storyline serves no other purpose but to string together a bunch of explosions for people to gawk at. In this day and age, there really isn’t an excuse for having such a poor story unless you’re making a Mario game. However, Modern Warfare 2 seems to revel in its stupidity, not realizing that it takes any sort of precepts of realism and steers them right toward the uncanny valley at one hundred twenty miles per hour.

wasnt aware there was a PLOT in COD games.

Baka-akaB5732d ago

in mw2 there certainly isnt , at the very least

WhittO5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

Ye if your game uses a mission briefing at a loading screen as the main plot device then...your game has no plot lol.

Look at the plot of MW2 to Killzone 2, just not even comparable...

rockleex5732d ago

The missions were mindblowing at times too.

MW2? Just plain BS.

Marquis_de_Sade5731d ago

Agreed Whitto, and Killzone 2's plot was hardly something to write home about either.

Tempist5731d ago

NOOOOOOO THIS IS A GREAT GAME AND HAS NO PLOT HOLEZ.

HOW CAN A MP GAME HAVE PLOT HOLEZ?!

I've been saying this for a long time the plot is full of soo many holes loool

wiggles5732d ago

I love how the months when Alan Wake and Heavy Rain were released there were soo many articles like omg so many plot holes!...

But then no one decides to shred the easiest game to rip apart plot holes lol

Baka-akaB5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

disagrees ? how refreshing .. the game literally starts on a mission (no russian) that makes no absolute sense whatsoever , be it from the infiltrated american's point of view , or makarov's men .

COD4 wasnt shakespeare for sure , but it's going from the level of a good ol' fashioned movie liek The Hunt for Red October or Patriot Games , to the level of crap like Assault on Devil's Island with hulk hogan with an hefty dosage of Red Dawn

iamnsuperman5732d ago

When one super power invades another super power for little reason it is safe to say there is no plot......Nato forces would attack the Russians immediately if they did invade America.....Infinity ward just went crazy with the story

BattleAxe5732d ago

The only plot hole I had a "BIG" problem with was the fact that no other countries like Canada or European Union had any information to give to the Americans regarding the entire Russian army flying over Canadian and European air space, not to mention that Russian aircraft carriers would have encountered other naval vessels from other countries. You could float an aircraft carrier through that plot hole.

iamnsuperman5732d ago

It seamed infinity ward clearly do not believe that other countries like Canada and the European union exist.....So many radars would of picked them up and they would have been attack by flying illegally into their airspace. The just really messed the whole story up

Rich16315732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

Killzone 2's plot ain't nothing special either. It may have no plotholes but story and character wise is was just as paperthin. Rico is the biggest doosh nozzle ever and did you honestly care about Garza's death? KZ2 is fun to play online and off, the graphics kick major tooshy and the art style is sick, but storywise, yeah it pretty much sucks.

@dinorawrr. Yeah, I know they are different, and nope I didn't care about MW2's character's either. That is why I am saying storywise they are on the same level. Games like Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid, and Uncharted 2 bitch slap both KZ2 and MW2 in story and characters.

itsralf5732d ago

Character development and Plot are two different things, sir. Yes, GG could have done a better job with their characters... But did you honestly care about any of the people in MW2?

ReservoirDog3165732d ago

CoD4 had one of the best war stories in video games. The rest? Not so much.

Sarcasm5732d ago

MW2 is a plot hole in itself.

Nothing makes sense.

Daddy-O_245731d ago

that game zucks you die really easy

"This sounds like the masturbatory fantasy of Glenn Beck"
I loled so hard

davidlandrum5732d ago

You obviously haven't watched Glenn Beck's show nor has the writer of the article.

MidnightWatcher5732d ago

He is a right-wing asshole who thinks Obama is a Communist and that China will soon own America. Also, he has mentioned many times that he thinks Russia is still a communist country so the author's point is pretty valid

Ziriux5732d ago

@ david

Must be a Glenn Beck fan? The guy is a purse ignorant piece of crap.

Lich1205731d ago

Also, he cries a lot. Which is funny, up until the point when you realize that people actually listen to his advice.

iamnsuperman5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

one thing I never got was why captain price was locked up..... In Cod 4 he saved the day what ever condition he was in surely he would of been sent back to the UK the second game is 5 years later. Lets humour the fact it probably takes a year or so of planning a revolution considering their leader and high generals of the revolution are dead. did he just chill in Russia for a year and waited to get capture

Garrus_Vakarian5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

lol @ taking MW2's story seriously

Meowhammad5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

lol @ people playing single player campaign in Call of Duty.

Baka-akaB5732d ago (Edited 5732d ago )

well it the best aspect of the serie , even with cod4 and even the worst of them .

I lol in turn @ people wasting their time online with it .

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G1012d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood1012d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G1012d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade1011d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty1012d ago (Edited 1012d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality1011d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator1010d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G1011d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy851012d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai1012d ago (Edited 1012d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G1012d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo1012d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg1012d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast1011d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
