Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has a special message for players who keep shooting the baby
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now out and people are soldiering through its campaign.
The gritty story includes a raft of set-pieces designed to put the player in an uncomfortable situation – and even includes opportunities for player choice.
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD.
One of the campaign’s best levels – a raid on a house in Camden Town – sees the player skulking about in the dark, creeping up stairs, slowly opening doors and, hopefully, checking targets.
At one point you enter a room and startle a mother who runs over to a cot to pick up her crying baby. The game has set you up to consider every person in the house a potential enemy – this is the reality of modern warfare, we’re told, and the bad guys often look like good guys. So, do you shoot the mother?
