my eyeballs are gonna vomit
So apparently MW2 has the same hidden intel items scattered across the game, something I didn’t realize until after I completed the campaign.
The game is so frantic: the way the story is told through cutscenes that bombard you with all kinds of military and surveillance flash; the way someone is always screaming at you during the missions, to either hurry up or inform you of contacts in whatever direction; the way the person you’re supposed to Follow gets farther and farther away as you hide behind a mailbox because russians are pouring out of a suburban house. Never has a game that for the most part doesn’t have timed missions bullied me to keep pushing forward i-dont-care-how-many-explosions-just-went-off-you-better-be-killing-baddies-while-running-you-useless-cretin. A lot of the missions are so exhausting because I feel like I don’t have time simply to stop and admire the environment.
Plus, it doesn’t help that when you’re getting shot, the screen goes even more apeshit, with its violent shaking and blood splatters.

You know my stance on playing games on anything less than “Target Earth” difficulty (except Ninja Gaiden…) but I seriously may go back and try to get some of the intels on Hardened or something – goddamn.

I’m not even sure what you get for all the trouble. i just remember that while we were storming the school in the first mission, everybody was killing everybody while i was dicking around looking for forking intel laptops. and i still couldn’t find all of them.

Wow you are probably the only person i know who doesnt like this game (best selling game ever btw) with all this talk of your screen going red makes it soumd like you didnt play the first one.

I never said I didn’t like the game. A couple complaints does not equal disapproval.
It’s been a while since I’ve played the first MW, but I don’t remember my screen shaking as violently or splatter being so prominent.
This is partly the reason I spend more time with MW2′s multiplayer than single – you never survive long enough to notice the red.
