Well, for Modern Warfare 2, it takes 4. (5 if you include Captain Price). I just played through the campaign of MW2 tonight, and I must say that I had my mind blown away. Never before have I experienced such a thrill while gaming. Awesome action, awesome control,but a rather weak storyline (that I'll gladly overlook in this case. It's a shooter. :P). MW2 is a perfect example of why certain things work better in interactive mediums as opposed to movies.

But, as I was playing through MW2, it became clear that IW wanted to bring that 'shock and awe' feeling back from MW1, where your friendly neighbourhood Marine gets burned to a crisp by the fallout of a nuclear explosion. By the first time in MW2 it still had that thrill, but then it just went downhill from there. After experiencing the first death, going through 2 more just feels rather bland if you can understand what I mean. Nearing the end (I managed to avoid spoilers for this whole time. Surprised? :D) I was actually expecting Soap to die. I know that it's war and people are dying left and right, but who really thought that this would be a good idea? Imagine sitting through a Batman movie only to have Batman killed 20 minutes into it, replaced by some no-name, and repeat that process 2 more times. You'd be pretty annoyed.

I'm not really gonna review MW2, because we all know that I don't have to. I just wanted to give my thoughts on that little part in particular. (Oh yeah, call me evil; There were no survivors during the airport scene. :twisted: )
