Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Motion Capture Behind the Scenes (Unseen Footage)

[@vincentreyes6154]

The level of professionalism that goes into these games, and the fact that it all happens essentially in one big room, it's astounding. And it almost feels like a movie, the cinematic cutscenes. Spectacular!

[@SR-71BlackbirdA2]

I think movies and games walk side by side when it comes to motion capture and acting. Or maybe one is just a little bit ahead of the other, who knows.

[@vincentreyes6154]

@@SR-71BlackbirdA2 I know, but I'm comparing this to the older CoD games. I started playing after MW3 came out, and I mostly played with some friends who had XBox and the whole MW trilogy. But whenever they didn't want to play anymore, I decided to play the campaigns and got hooked really quick. It was the first time I started to get interested in characters in general, particularly Cpt. Price and Soap. But the only thing I didn't like about the games was the character design and graphics (the originals, not the remastered. The remastered graphics are much better). Now I know that they weren't supposed to be good back then, but they still seemed to me on par with trashy Unity gaming engine quality. But when motion capture started to become utilized (I presume it was first implemented with CoD Advanced Warfare) I started to go, "Wow, the games graphics can be just as good as the story too? I can't wait for what's in store for CoD". I don't play as much anymore since I'm focusing on my formative life, but I still hang around to watch the campaigns of the newer games. And with campaigns like WWII, Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare II, I felt confident that at least the newer games graphics and campaigns would keep the franchise afloat, even if the PvP is apparently getting worse (I sucked at PvP anyway though, so all's well that ends well I guess).

[@Hether6971]

this game has 55% positive in steam, which is low. So should I buy this game??

[@Hether6971]

worth it?

[@vincentreyes6154]

@@Hether6971 Depends if you're a PvP player or a campaign player. I suck at PvP, but I love the campaign. If you're talking about the PvP, I'm not sure what to tell you. But if you want to play the campaign, then by all means get the game.

[@VladislavZharkov]

1:10 Woah, they actually record these irritated voice lines in between the normal dialogue. I initially thought they record them after the fact or even later in the studio so they don't break the pace.

[@triplemoyagames4195]

To be honest it makes sense. As the actors are already locked in. So when the player pauses, they just recorded when they locked in. Actually helps with momentum

[@lineark7679]

they probably also redo them after

[@alighorbani1658]

I wonder how they captured the scene where soap ignores graves and ghost on the ship "JOHNNY, Your wasting time what da F#@%"

[@TheLeeBonner]

Yeah the betrayal scene has some of the best facial acting in a video game I’ve ever seen from graves. Especially the line where he says to Alejandro ‘I’m afraid not. You’re men have been… Detained.’

[@robertleonardjr6663]

@@TheLeeBonner Yeah the little facial expressions and body language all make it so believable

[@andrewknowles7493]

What i love about video games is that the crew has many cameras in different positions to capture the actors performance. Then find the right one or use multiple camera shots for one scene. Then there's movies which could take like up to 20 takes for one scene

[@929Finn]

Yeah even one b-roll shot in movies can take like 6-8 different takes if the director thinks there should be sever angles for a scene that lasts less than a minute.

[@rogueisolation5395]

It's so fascinating. It would be so awesome to be involved in something like this, like- "We are going to need you to act out the scenes as though you would in the real situation." "We need your character to look like/similar to you so your appearance matches the voice." AND for some, "Your going to be a playable character." It's like being in the game yourself! Quiet amazing.

[@jollama]

[@justsomepandawithinternet]

If your player afk

it's to account for gamers being gamers and trying to break the game, so the campaign seems to has more depth instead of just being Co-Op with characters.

[@gibleyman]

A lot of games have this. Game studios know for a fact some players are gonna pull their gamer instincts and try to break the game, or see what happens when they refuse to do the objective, that's where these lines come in.

[@xxlovecrushxx]

@@gibleyman ohhh makes sense and I seen some scenes like Soap not jumping and ghost being on him about it. I didnt even notice Price was there until after Gaz grabs the phone
