[@oliversmith9737]

the speedrunners take the loose screw in your bunk in the first mission and backhop against it for precisely 17 frames, then do a 180 crouch jump and build up speed in the other direction for 17 frames. the horizontal speed is cancelled but the vertical speed exponentially increases, until you go past mach 1, causing the game to assume you are in the jet mission. because that mission ends at your bunk, you instantly complete it and trigger the attack on the base in your sleep. after the attack is triggered, clipping in the right spot will coc you to the terrorist base instead of your own, skipping that mission. after that, you are sent home and awarded a medal of honor, which, as we all know, has the shortest epilogue in which you can't live with yourself and commit suicide. the current record sits at 2 minutes, 47 seconds for any%

I was on the toilet at the moment. But not for long. I was an infantryman after all with an M249 and of course folks wanted to know . I told those asking me how many I killed in combat. They didn't seem to even care that much. They just wanted a number. No mention as to details, why, any consequences from doing so, where this was, or what happened exactly or how other people saw me. None. They just wanted a number. Which I found to be odd. Because my answer had many other factors attached to it. In fact, its as if the number I gave was on an invisible list in their mind and I was being compared to movie stars. Very odd. If you are going to ask me a dark question like " How many people did you kill?" You need to hear the whole story and it's context. Not just the number. You need to know the context and all its variables. Which takes time to tell all that. This way you can understand some things. Then asking me how many I killed may not be a question many will ask . Because it is descriptive.

Wow after so many years I’ve finally found it. This video jebaited be 9 years ago when I was a kid. I remember being hyped for the realistic cod game and the only thing I remembered was when the one lady was talking about how she got killed when staring out in the open and had to start over. I remembered that but it got distorted in my mind over time ( I remembered her as being very excited and impressed about it for some reason). The rest of this video never stuck in my mind, so weird. For years every now and then that memory would pop in my head about the realistic cod game scene where the lady died in the open but I never recalled it happening when I played all of the COD MW games. It bothered me for years and now I know I was trolled by the onion when I was child.

This is a late reply, but in case anyone else is stuck and happens to be reading this, here is what you do: You don't need to talk to anyone. Just walk into random houses and search through their things. After your squad searches 25 houses, the mission is complete and you can head back to base. Speed matters. To recieve full credit, you need to get back to base before chow starts. Choose houses with friendly residents, to avoid confrontation. If a door is locked, don't wait for someone to unlock it. Just break it down. If a dog runs towards you, shoot it. If anyone appears upset or agitated, detain them. Don't worry about breaking anything or leaving a mess. It doesn't matter. (Spoiler: There is no information on the truck to be found, so don't bother searching more than 25 houses.) Just ransack 25 houses, then head back to base as quickly as possible. There are two achievement that can be obtained on this mission. One is for getting a picture of yourself wearing ladies undergarments on your head. The other is for stealing food from a home and eating it in front of the family. There is also, of course, the achievement for collecting 1000 war trophies, so don't forget to do that. I hope this helps!

I remember stumbling onto this video when I was in like 7th grade not knowing about The Onion so the satire totally flew over my head and I was legitimately looking forward to an ultra-realistic Call of Duty game… honestly 11 years later that would still be kinda cool

Modern Warfare 4 radically changed gameplay where you play as a US Air Force airman who goes to two formations a day and has to go to a unit event friday afternoon to play multiplayer minigames that nobody wants to play. In the DLC deployment pack you learn how to build a gym in Bahrain and install WiFi as the whole game has been described as a cross between The Sims and Minecraft.

So the actual deployment I went on had some excitement. You make bonds with other soldiers from Puerto Rico to Hawaii and everywhere in between. You meet NATO troops from Germany, UK, Spain, Japan, Australia and get to learn about their lives. Missions you get are from giving water to allied villages to protecting individuals and areas of interest. Was it crazy exciting at times ? God yes. Was it boring as watching paint dry sometimes? God yes. But I loved every minute of it. Never felt so alive when anything could happen. Deployment changed my life forever.

Can't wait for the DLC that features the realistic themes of PTSD, Finding your wife/GF in bed with another man, Divorce, Losing your house & other shit, being homeless, suicide & the post credits; "We didn't notice any of the signs. He seemed perfectly fine, we don't know what happend to him."

Once found a guy laying on the side of I-75 in the rain we thought was dead. Turned out he was incredibly drunk because he just got back and found out his wife had cheated and cleaned him out. Said he had nothing left and to just leave him alone and let him die. My friend had already called the police and ambulance before he woke up and when he found out he stumbled into a nearby swamp to hide from them. I couldn't convince my friends to not tell them where he went so the poor guy probably got charges on top of his already f-ed life.

1:34-1:48 I had no idea we were slated to play as such philosophers and warrior poets. A truly psychological and spiritual game experience. Too bad it never got a release after all those years of development; I was really looking forward to that field-stripping and cleaning mini game.

This made me realize how realistic a war simulator Fallout New Vegas is actually. I think my experience fighting to defend the Mojave from the NCR is as close a video game can get to an insurgent experience. I only really engaged NCR troops in combat 8 times the whole game, because most of the time i was in contact with NCR troops, i wasn't wearing an enemy uniform, so they just thought i was a civilian. Most of my gameply was spent alliance-building, which usually just consists of what are essentially hearts-and-minds campaigns where you help out a local tribe so they'll help in the final battle. Honestly, Fallout New Vegas makes me feel like a Vietcong
