Find Makarov - Revealed!

Archive: 29 posts


I decided to make a new thread even though there is one about this already, however the other thread just states that the website is a hoax and is not the next Modern Warfare.

However, this intrigues me slightly more than Modern Warfare could ever have done...

I found this absolutely amazing, very well done, probably one of the best live action trailers I have ever seen.

Discuss, is it a movie? Or is it really a trailer to the next Modern Warfare, despite what Activision is saying.

Looking at the Youtube comments, I believe it's a trailer for a fan-made live action movie based on the events of MW2.2011-03-02 21:13:00

True, though at the end of the video it shows what happens after the ending of MW2.

From what Ive heard, MW3 has been confirmed and is said to take place before MW1. I havent really studied this, however I believe it to be true.2011-03-02 22:53:00

Ugh... those accents D: Did someone weigh those down with bricks or what? Aside from that and the fact it uses the cod story (Lol I put those 2 words side by side) it looks promising.2011-03-02 23:45:00

I saw this thread and I had to watch the video. It looks pretty sweet but I'm guessing they're just doing a sort of live film of the MW-MW2 story with what they know so from MW3's possible storyline and adding on to it. I've also heard MW3 will be about Ghost's story before MW2 but I've also heard it will have parts from after MW2 (where you don't control Ghost obviously). Before these rumors about Ghost's story however, I heard MW3 will be called COD Space Warfare, or COD Future Warfare. Activision or something like that had reserved those domain names a long while back.2011-03-02 23:55:00

Modern Warfare 3 is being designed by Sledgehammer, Infinity Ward, and Raven Software. Sledgehammer will be working with the remaining staff of Infinity Ward on the singleplayer, while Raven Software works on the multiplayer.

Sledgehammer has stopped working on the other Call of Duty game which is rumored to be an MMORPG, which is also rumored to be the "Future Warfare" or the one that's supposed to be located in space. So no MW3 is not the space one.

Yeah that's what I figured but with Battlefield 3 coming out they're going to have some tough competition so they'll need some new ideas and to bring back that "COD Itch".

0_0 That was fantastic. The story mode for the Modern Warfare Series is absolutley fantastic, and well thought out. If this is a fan made movie, producers should be looking at the people who made this for job oppertunities. It portrayed the MW story almost perfectly.2011-03-03 01:03:00

It wasn't fan made per-say, the creators of this live-action trailer had a very good budget and good equipment. It wasn't just a bunch of fans with their Hannah Montana cameras in their backyard.

But yes, they do deserve to be paid for their talent. Who knows, maybe Activision will see this and buy it from them? Or something like that.

EDIT: I also believe that the creators have their own studio.

I suppose people have different points of view on the story of Modern Warfare, and Im not saying its the best in gaming history, Im just stating that its a lot better than any of the COD Storylines IMO. 2011-03-03 02:30:00

To be honest, I won't be surprised to find out if this was a fan-made video. Fan-made videos are usually better than official videos.

Here's an example I love:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzQMGMuD1sU

The guy has better stuff on his channel, but this one's also a CoD video.

Once again, freddiew is not necessarily "fan-made" material. He has his own studio, gets paid to make videos, and has a team that works with him. With high quality equipment. You kind of expect that kind of stuff from these people.

Lol @ Greyspence & Whale;

CoD story is generic, unrealistic, poorly paced, poorly scripted, badly acted and has all the finesse of a sledgehammer.

If your idea of "A good story" is just saying exactly what you see in front of you in military jargon acronyms - then yes, it's the greatest story ever told.

Otherwise it's "Bad guy 'X' is being bad - you must stop him!" ;
Yah, very original!

Saying it's a good story "in comparison" to other CoDs is like saying Dog Turds taste Amazing in relation to other animals turds!


I'll wait for the game of the film of the game of the film of the game

Every single game I've played has been like this.

Killzone, Battlefield, Halo, Medal of Honor, etc...

The only reason CoD gets hate is because you and everyone else are predisposed to dislike it.

Battlefield is generic, unrealistic, poorly paced, poorly scripted, badly acted (this more than anything else, horrible horrible acting) and has all the finesse of a sledgehammer.

Killzone is generic, unrealistic, poorly paced, poorly scripted, badly acted and has all the finesse of a sledgehammer.

Halo is generic, unrealistic, poorly paced, poorly scripted, badly acted and has all the finesse of a sledgehammer.

Like I said before and I'll say it again...

Im happy to see that it's a fan made thing and not just some Activision cash-in. However, the Modern Warfare story lines are about as weak as a chocolate teapot. I'm still longing for the day of a Metal Gear Solid movie!

I agree, these days, most effort (which in most cases is next to nothing...) is put into the MP side, whilst campaigns are more of additional content to play through once, and allow the devs to sell the game at full price.

Of course, it also seems that the war games are the worst of the bunch, usually being randomly tied together masses of random explosions and places.

Where's Episode 3 when you need it D:

True. War games are the worst of the bunch I agree. But even other games have started to become like this. Racing games like Need for Speed have done this too.

"All Games have bad story";

Yup, I'm glad we agree Whaale.
I'll happily rag on the story of Halo (with such memorable names as 1 & 2, or your character 6 - and notable locations like A and B or the never forget C ) anytime.

The point I'm kind of making, is that with it generally being accepted that the story line is possibly the worst thing about most games - with the playability (or re-playability of the multiplayer) being the focus instead.... why would any movie studio consider making a "Film of the Game"?

Are there any examples of a good film being made from the storyline of a game?
Not that I can think of... I can think of alot of horrible, attrocious examples - but no good ones

Idiots gonna idiot

Or you could finally accept people have opinions that are different from your own and deal with it.

Opinions can't be wrong though. Opinions are how people feel on a certain subject. Now, stop forcing your's onto others.

So, someone who is of the opinion that the world is flat... they are right?

And how am I forcing my opinion onto others?

Are people so easily influenced that they will read my words and then their own powers of reasoning are suspended?

I, just like you... am entitled to my opinion - Isn;t it *you* who needs to learn to "deal with it"?

You don't get it. And it's sad to see that half of your opinions are based on just that, false information. When did I ever say that it's going to be a good movie?

Maybe if you took the time to actually read posts, and take the time to think before you speak (or in this case type) you'd look less (insert any harsh comment about intelligence here).

The point I'm making here is this; that a group that no one had ever heard of, was able to make such a fantastic live-action trailer. Their work can compete with big shot movies that you pay 12 dollars to go see. Ever since the release of this trailer, they have been getting constant calls from big time producers offering them jobs. Their trailer is almost identical to the storyline of MW2 and they portrayed it perfectly.

One comment I'm going to point out here is this...


why would any movie studio consider making a "Film of the Game"?

I want to make sure you understand that the creators of this trailer, are in no way close to a "movie studio." And for you to even think that is in itself a reason you should applaud great work like this.

You want less crap being produced yet when you see young talent make great stuff like this you squelch it. Make up your mind.

So, a bunch of amatuers make a video, based on the generic military shooter theme from CoD (which is itself based on the generic military shooter), and do it 'in the style of a generic hollywood military shooter' - and they are now tipped by "Big Producers" (who make generic military shooter films) to make some generic military shooter films?!

And I'm supposed to "applaud" them? -

For what?

For being unoriginal?

Well, well done - it's about the least original thing I have seen *applauds*

Yes, I would like less crap to be produced - how does this in any way stem the tide?

Film producers don't care if a story is unoriginal, or even if it is a good story - they only care if it will generate money (how else can you explain 99% of Hollywoods output) ;
CoD: The Movie is a near certainty..... sadly.


And they're not really amatuers either - they're a viral marketing company - this is essentially an advert for their company.

I got a 25 killstreak and set off a nuke of flame-war!?

Oops!

Seriously guys, It was an opinon! Calm down. They portrayed a few epic moments such as Ghost's and Roach's Death and The whole shepard thing, and it made me feel more immersed in that COD story than the Gritty COD 5, and Confusing COD BO Storylines. I dont know why you guys dont understand that the story is amazing compared to the completely unbalanced and unfinished gameplay, In my opinion, not yours.
But hey, since my opinions are obviously wrong, then why am I writing this? I want this to stay on topic so Ill shut up, but I want everyone else to do the same.

Thanks to Whaale for helping me deal with this!
