Have done maybe half of those. Games are a hobby and posting is mostly just something I do at work or in other such preoccupations. Define gamer as you will, I play games, I enjoy them, I know considerably more then all my friends in the subject (have 3-4 gaming buddies, that is it, and they play less then I do). To me its a hobby, and in being such I dont feel the need to complete some checklist to be a part of it.... . Games are games and fun is fun. I dont think there needs to be validation in a leaderboard or trophies list, standing in line for a game, beating a handheld game at home (really?). Honestly even completing a game 100% seems a waste of time. There are just better ways to spend you time. Naturally this is all IMO. If you have the time then who am I to judge.... alextherussian
Oops don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this is like a checklist of things you need to be a gamer or anything. These are just ten things that I believe every gamer should experience because of the different spread of emotions each provides. Please don't feel like I'm insulting you, that's really not what i'm intending.

[QUOTE="Hanass"]

[QUOTE="mynameisdumb"][QUOTE="Flanker15"]

But there's plenty of proof, the CIA and KGB did it dozens times during the Cold war and the proof came from the Governments' own files.

But really? Really? Reaaally? A US agent would mow down hundreds of innocent civilians just to get in with the terrorists who he had access to kill RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Really? Frankly I don't even want to discuss this anymore, it's such an absurd concept that if you can't see WHY it's ridiculous, you probably never will.

You need to stop thinking that the USA is the Utopia of the Universe and that it's perfect. Every government does things they don't want you to know; the US is no different.

You're the only one thinking that it's ridiculous here, if you haven't noticed... God, you sound like people from 1984 (talking about the book)...

Wow you are unbelievable. Obviously the USA isn't the utopia of the universe. The Bay of Pigs can attest to that, as can other assasinations, as can a billion other things. But the argument that the USA isn't perfect has NOTHING to do with the argument at hand. Just because the USA isn't perfect doesn't mean they are so vile as to massacre hundreds of innocents for no gain. They would have to be stupid AND entirely heartless, and they aren't either. The point isn't only that the action was too cruel either, it's that it was ENTIRELY devoid of logic. He could have shot the terrorists there! Period! End of story! Say what you will about the MW2 storyline, but in REAL life, a soldier or CIA operative would ALWAYS take out the terrorists to avoid the massacre of hundreds of innocent people. It's ridiculous to say he wanted to get in with terrorists. That idea is counter-intuitive, as he allowed (and participated in) a terrorist attack. Oh, but he just wanted to get in with the terrorists right? Right? Yeah, to prevent terrorist attacks, the very thing he contributed to. It's just outlanding and nonsensical, and that's the bottom line.

[QUOTE="mynameisdumb"][QUOTE="KukicAdo"]the CIA has done much worse than had one of their operatives kill innocents at an airport. The whole point of the CIA is to kill people that the US doesn't like, overthrow democratically elected leaders that don't like the US, if 100s or thousands civilians die, oh well. Flanker15

KukicAdo that is simply asinine. There is no proof of the CIA ever slaughtering innocent civilians. You are worse than the people who believe President Bush caused 9/11 on purpose.

[QUOTE="enterawesome"]That's cool, but the massacre at the Russian airport didn't set in motion a series of events, gamecubepad

Yes, it did. Russia launched a counterstrike on the assumption that the CIA had attacked the airport, and was behind Makarov and his terrorist cell.

Sounds like 9/11+Bin Laden and the response of the US towards Afghanistan and Iraq. The effect of terrorist acts like that aren't limited to a couple destroyed building and a few hundred/thousand deaths. They rock the economy to the core and cause general hysteria and fear. Not to mention hate and anger.

MW2's plot is very feasible. It's creepy.

That still doesn't explain how the airport somehow didn't have security cameras, didn't have a SINGLE eyewitness who reported more than one attacker, didn't at least enter discussion with the USA first... etc. It can be creepy I suppose, but it's definitely not feasible.

Numbers 3 and 9 are total bull****. :|

Shad0ki11
Tables and chairs are retarded! See? I can make generalizations without proof too. Anyways, as for #3, there's something to be said for the gamer who completes a game he doesn't enjoy just because he wants to see it through to the end. As for #9, you are probably one of the people I'm talking about who know every detail of a game prior to buying it. I do that too, but that doesn't mean I can't admit the charm of buying a game you know little to nothing or about, then enjoying exploring it. This is essentially the same argument as beating a game without a walkthrough versus using a walkthrough.

That's because nonconformists dominate the internet. It's the same reason Avenged Sevenfold was supposedly cool before they were popular, and the same reason some people don't like the movie the Dark Knight because they say it's not true to the comic book's roots. :roll:

[QUOTE="mynameisdumb"] Please he's naive? You are naive if you actually believe something that outlandish has happened. Sure it made you think, but there were so many gaping plot holes that it defeated its entire original purpose. Icarian

You're naive to presume that CIA, Mossad or other secret services wouldn't kill innocents to get the job done. I understand that and I know that their main goal is to protect their own country and its people by any means necessary.

Sure they might kill a few innocents to save a bunch. But they wouldn't mow down an entire AIRPORT of people to get a guy in with a terrorist organization, especially when the guy had access to kill the terrorists right then and there. I don't think the CIA is always morally clean, but I also know they aren't stupid, and they wouldn't have let that opportunity pass.

He is exaggerating but they are surrounded by controversy, and pretty much always have been.

Sure, controversy. But how much of that is actually true is another issue entirely. Lots of people think we never landed on the moon, just like lots of people believe the CIA is willing to slaughter hundreds of innocent people for no good reason. Just because people believe them doesn't make either true. What is for sure, is something as overarchingly stupid as the actions your character takes in the "No Russian" mission would NEVER happen in the real world.

[QUOTE="WTA2k5"]

The entire plot of Modern Warfare 2 is pointless and devoid of any logic. If you really wanted to analyze the No Russian sequence, ask yourself:

"Why didn't they notice Makarov and the others on the security cameras any airport is bound to have?"

Or "Why didn't they notice the corpses of two of Makarov's conspirators that were killed before the end of the level?"

Or "Why didn't they notice that your character had a fat tattoo of the Kremlin on his torso?"

Modern Warfare 2 has a downright stupid plot that tries to trick you into thinking it's serious, powerful stuff.

Quoted for truth.
