Accusations of Russophobia

[edit]

Hello colleagues. The article in Russian has a section with an authoritative source about the accusations from the news publication Russia Today in Russophobia against the developers. Can this information be relevant in an English article? Here is the source from the article in Russian: [1]. If this source is not suitable, then anyone can find this information in English. This accusation says that the game’s developer, Call of Duty, once again showed Russia evil, put it out as an enemy. But one of the developers made a statement that the game will be attended by both good and bad people in all the warring parties to the conflict. Bogolub (talk) 09:05, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Russia Today (RT) is considered a weak source on English Wikipedia. A better source should be provided first. Modern Warfare series has always been based around US/Russian tensions and has always featured good and bad characters on both sides. Not sure there's a point in including a RT nationalist piece. -- ferret (talk) 13:36, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The RT article makes sense. Can you describe having a game about killing Russian soldiers who are apparently not only irrational murderers but also pedophiles (given one of the other scenes the developers were considering) be described as anything other than Russophobia? And the references to the Syrian civil war, where the developers even have a plot of helping jihadist terrorist groups kill Russians? Especially given the current political climate, which wasn't really present at the time of the release of the previous games that involved US-Russian conflicts, using the whole "evil Russians" plot yet again. Hard to see this as anything other than Russophobia. Prince Hubris (talk) 18:36, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Prince Hubris: Another Russophobia called the plot of the game most Russian-speaking gamers who lowered the rating of the game on Metacritic to 2.7. And there were claims from players that there is no so-called "gray morality" that the developers promised as again the Russians are shown to be evil, and the Americans are good. And were the charges to play the mission "Highway of Death" because in the game the road with the fleeing refugees was shelled by the Russian army, but in reality the "Highway of Death" called the road that fired on US and NATO in Iraq, namely the retreating soldiers of the Iraqi army.

And what we have at the moment: The downgrade of the game on Metacritic, the accusation of Russophobia and the shifting of us and NATO war crimes to Russia in the game. Of course this is shown in news broadcasts on Russian television, but these news stories in TV channels were discussed in the magazine on games called "Igromania". I do not know whether the sources in the article in Russian will be useful for this version of the article. To decide the participants enwiki.
And I almost forgot. RT was outraged that in the trailer of the game were shown "White Helmets" because in Russia this organization is considered criminal together with ISIS, namely for the constant staged videos of saving people from chemical weapons attacks and aerial bombing because of which then in Europe and the United States accused the Syrian army of war crimes. And for Russia, this game came out modified, namely the fact that the white helmets on the rescuers are replaced by green and the word "Russian army" is replaced by "Barkov's People".AntonBanderos (talk) 13:17, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Because RT don't follow your westard propaganda shit? I understand that is a crime in the West, but good to hear confirmation. --Rowaa[SR13] (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It's heavily implied throughout the campaign that the actions of the antagonist, General Roman Barkov, were on his own accord without knowledge from Moscow. Therefore, the story's framing of the antagonist is moreso a rouge general, rather than a man on orders from Moscow. This is ultimately less an antagonisation of Russia, and more simply an exploration by the writers of Modern Warfare of a rogue general being put in charge of an occupied nation. I'll see if I can use quotes from the game itself as citations to introduce the game's actual narrative surrounding the antagonist into the "Controversy" section. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 14:56, 30 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 27 October 2019

[edit]

c I need a edit where it says, 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a first-person shooter video game.' We need to state that it is a prequel of all the other 3 Modern Warfare games because at the end of the campaign it is revealed that it is a prequel. WatashiWorks (talk) 17:56, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The article currently states it is "a reboot of the Modern Warfare". Have you a reliable source that states otherwise? NiciVampireHeart 18:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This edit should not be made. There has been no information to indicate it is a prequel or anything other than a reboot; There has actually been information to the contrary. Please do not attempt to make edits based on Reddit speculation. Kac Calhoon (talk) 15:38, 15 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please fix military unit

[edit]

The beginning paragraph about the campaign has Marine Raiders lower cased when it should be upper cased. It would also probably be a good thing to link it to the wiki page on Marine Raiders. Kcraigie89 (talk) 01:29, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as is to the Regiment because that’s a specific unit. The other option is more of a history of the Raider lineage. Kcraigie89 (talk) 16:11, 11 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal (2020)

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

not merged

I propose to merge Call of Duty: Warzone into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019 video game). Warzone is a mode of MW2019 that is available for free. It is launched through Modern Warfare and makes extensive use of gameplay and assets from it. There is little to separate the two and the Warzone page mainly focuses on minor gameplay details.

Potential Sequel?

[edit]

There have been several rumors and leaks online that a Modern Warfare II will release in 2022 after the end of Vanguard's lifespan. It was said to be picking up on the events after the 2019 game, continuing the title's storyline, and will be taking place somewhere in the southeast of the Caribbean, fighting off "drug cartels".

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019 video game)Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Per WP:SMALLDETAILS. There is no other game directly named "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare", there is only Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. I think that the 4 and the Remastered respectively demonstrate SMALLDETAILS enough to where I don't think a disambiguation is needed. Additionally, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare redirects here anyways, and has for a while now. λ NegativeMP1 16:43, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per referenced guidelines Pdubs.94 (talk) 05:33, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support partially We can name it as 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)' and can remove the video game part. TheDarkKnightGotham (talk) 07:51, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@TheDarkKnightGotham that's not in line with WP:NCVGDAB. -- ferret (talk) 14:12, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
