• Don't blame him. Blame the developers. No Russian should never have been interactive.

• I don't think that sort of reply really helps Modern Warfare to be seen as legitimate entertainment. If anything, it gives video game detractors proof that video gamers are desensitised by the rampant violence*, and this (very popular) game in particular has players getting a perverse enjoyment out of mowing down innocent civilians. *Even the US military have commented with concerns that some recruits raised on video games may not be emotionally equipped to separate fiction from reality, especially if they're operating weapons removed from the battlefield such as armed drones. Just a thought. We don't need to be "EEEEEEEE BLOOOOOOOD" gamers.

• No tears? No hearts breaking? No remorse?

• I am infinitely more impressed with this than anything Infinity Ward did in the single player campaign. The sad thing with that is this michinema is likely done by a few individuals on their own time where as IW had a large team and millions of dollars. Huh.

• How many ways are there to spell "machinema" and which is correct? e

• The airport level is fantastic. You literally just mow down innocent people the whole time.

• I disagree with your storyline assessment, Mike. The first half is about a B+, but the latter half is easily a D. It's SO sloppy at the end. Half of the final missions are undermining what they set up in the first half. The game is good, and definitely worth playing through. About 80% of the missions are put together pretty well, even though the story tying them together is weak, at best.

• HOLY SHIT THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!

• I have MW2. There is a mission called "No Russian" but it is only the airport part. The rest of this machima is from the missions leading up to No Russian. Also the voiceover is directly lifted from the game. Interesting though is that when you start the MW2 campaign you can chose to skip "morally offensive" missions. The airport mission is one of the ones you would skip if you chose to. The missions leading up to No Russian you still do. It was called No Russian because the Russian born terrorist wanted the Russian government to think that the people that straffed the airport were a team of CIA agents. Which worked. Russia retailiated by invading the New England coast.

• It sounds like he borrowed some AC130 dialogue from COD4 as well. Or IW did.

• That's some damn solid editing work. Playing the game didn't feel as cool as watching this.

• Great work, a gem among shit. Seriously, how much fail machinima is there?

• It's two different missions. The cabin is a later mission, but they find the plans for previous airport mission. I believe it was done with the Windows version, switching the camera angles during playback. All dialog is in game dialog.

• SPOILERIFFIC!! I count... 5 missions, one from the airport, one is the safehouse assault in the beginning, and the bit with the iss is the one with the awesome twist (plus prisoner 626 being the badass we know and love). The burning airplane bit is right after the iss, while the national monument is before iss. All dialogue is also from the game. Play both games, Rob. It is

• Most, if not all of the dialogue is from the game. The footage is from several missions and is not presented in the order that it appears in game (still awesome nonetheless). Pretty damn impressive work. If you have a passing interest in Modern Warfare 2, the campaign story line is a solid B+ to A-. Played on one of the less difficult modes it can be finished in 5-7 hours.

• I can't veiw the video from my phone but I can tell you that MW2 is a great play, short campaign but lots of fun. "No Russian" is one of the first missions and its the reason the game asks if you want to skip certain missions that may be "too graphic or offensive" to some players. Its one that you say WTF?! Through the whole thing.

• This is freakin awesome, looks all made in game using some kind of spectate mode
