"Soap! Jump over that big ass ramp!" ect.

It is weird, kind of like when they let seth green of robot chicken design a level in spore: galactic adventures.

 

Wow. Not sure if want.

 

I didnt care too much for 50 cent's music, but now that's he's into the game genre, I have a kind of respect for him. I always thought it was cool on MTV Cribs when a hardcore rapper showed off his game collection and he actually had more than just Madden.

 

50 Cent knows his good game studios, apparently. Not sure how I'll feel about his voice being in the game, but then again, hearing Kiefer Sutherland in World at War is still strange.

 

i can't help wondering how much they're paying for big actors to come in to do voice acting. that money could be spent on better co-op

 

Yeaaa... I'm not too excited about this.. like.. It would be cooler if some "real action hero" would be voice actor in this game. Like... Schwarzenegger!!

 

LOL how the hell does that make me want it more, to tell you the truth I think I may pass just because of this. I am with smurphster the money could have gone to way better features then this crap.

 

"schwarzenegger" and "real action hero" do not belong in the same sentence. i've lost respect for him since he turned into the governator. CA has had problems for a while but putting that doofus in office is just making it worse.

besides, "real action heros" are war vets

 

50 Cent is obviously a fan, and a gamer. Who said anything about gobs of money being spent on voice talent? If Infinity Ward was willing to put up big bucks for voice talent, they'd snag Greg Kinnear or someone worth paying. As it stands, I get the feeling that Fiddy asked for the opportunity, and IW said, "Sure, why not?" for the sake of hilarity and publicity.

 

It's a real shame that rap music is so (bafflingly) popular these days. The only rapper that actually has some talent for anything other than AM radio with "attitude" is Will Smith, who is a damn fine actor. Hell, he's just raw talent, really. Unfortunately all these other clowns keep getting work and tarnishing movies and games alike. Can't really stop it though, kids like that garbage and idolize these retards. Remember when being a "thug" was a bad thing?

Anyways, in regards to the people that think the money could've been better used for co-op, try reading what IW had to say about the subject. MW1 was a beautifully choreographed cinematic experience, much more so than World at War. At points it was blurring the lines between a movie and a game while maintaining a level of interactivity that made you feel like you were a part of it, which is something WAW never actually captured. While co-op is a blast and undeniably worthwhile, it tends to create a much different mood. When you're watching a movie it's your eyes feasting on a carefully crafted experience to give one person (the viewer) a specific "ride" of sorts, and seeing "XxHeadshotxX" or "tEaBaG_y0_m0m" pop into the scene tends to shatter that immersion. Not to mention that player-controlled characters move and act differently than NPC characters, which further breaks the illusion that the player is just another member of his squad.

Infinity Ward reminded me very strongly of Monolith when I played through MW1, and I hope that the experience they provide with MW2 does the exact same thing.

 

here's the thing... if you play games with the right people (people who want to be immersed as well) you don't run into that problem. i'm just as immersed into games playing with my wife as i am alone. actually, probably more so since she is playing with me and not doing something distracting in the background (playing music, playing games on the computer, cooking, cleaning). i have a much better time playing with someone than alone, even if the game is a "beautifully choreographed cinematic experience" (that's quite the mouthful). if you think that i'm just bragging about my cheesy marriage or something, think again. i've played lots of co-op with my brother as well. its much easier to come up with a strategy with a human player than AI that are programmed to do certain things and won't listen to what you have to say. i don't want my hand held through scenes, i want to come up with a plan and execute it with my comrades on the battlefield.

@txshurricane: good point... the "spent on better co-op" was more of a joke. i'd still like to know how much they're paying him vs whoever they would have had do the job. it could be a lot or it could be nothing. either way i'm not real thrilled about him.

 

well, I kinda differ in the whole immersion thing. To me it's not a movie, or anything like that. My immersion is playing with family and friends, in a game, working together towards a goal. Killing the baddies. I don't care if we all have the same character, if there are long names over the players, and even if the graphics are toned down (or even dated - GRAW2 is still a favorite). I would vote for stronger gameplay over fancy voices any day. Personally,I wish there was an option to turn off the voices... hearing Kiefer in CoDWaW gets really really annoying after awhile. So no co-op means a no purchase for me, no matter who is voicing it or how fancy the looks are. My consumer dollar is limited, so I buy what I like to play, and that's co-op.

 

for 50cent, this may be a way for him to get in better with- "Higher quality Programers"? & help out him with his "Video Game company", I think he owns one, Not postive thought?

 

Hey, if the writing is done well, the voice talent shouldn't matter too much. Blood on the Sand (aka: Game of the Year) had really fun, cheesy dialogue and Fitty managed to pull it off and maintain the vibe.
