The movie introduces the ghost of the third season of "Modern Warfare" whispering "Alex". "Thought you were dead."
In fact, we all did it: Participants of the "Modern Warfare" single player campaign bid farewell to the charming CIA agents at the end of the campaign. But he was there, standing on the rust map tower in the shootout Call of Duty: Season 3 of Modern Warfare, This will cause you to die in 2v2 soon.
Reassuringly, once again seeing his relaxed American smile and stable beard, maybe Alex should be dead. The newly launched Infinity Ward shooter-recovering from the underestimated Infinite Warfare-is a voluntary sacrifice, and it is shameful that they cannot see their information because of the multiplayer skin.
It can be said that the early "Call of Duty" game, because their achievements in the first-person narrative is not known for their delicate role-playing. Cameras tend to shrink, telling stories of geopolitical conflicts and revenge through intercontinental missiles. The tragedy of violence in Greece gave birth to violence. But since the Infinite Ward reconstructed itself with a naughty dog DNA, Call of Duty has become more intimate, showing the changes and growth of the main actors.
The theme of this change and sacrifice is best reflected in Captain Reyes, the protagonist of Infinite Warfare. Reyes (Reyes) is run by co-author Brian Bloom (Brian Bloom) as a typical fanatic, perhaps better known as BJ Blazkowicz.
At the beginning of the game, the raids based on the Martian separatist faction paralyzed the Earth's joint defense fleet. Faced with the prospect of losing the planet, Reyes' commander ordered a desperate slam action, destroying the Martian flagship and ending the battle. The move earned the earth time to repair wounds and fight back, but it was costly-hundreds of friendly crew members were killed in the crash.
Afterwards, our hero rushed to the command deck and asked the captain to take responsibility for his decision, but found that his boss also toasted. Reyes was promoted on the spot, and the rest of the game was dedicated to filling those huge space boots. Before the end of the battle, Reyes would not only sacrifice himself like all soldiers, but also thousands of people under his command. This is a larger spiritual divide than any jump across the solar system, but he must cross it.
Mac, the ship ’s chief engineer, helped him in this process. Someone told us that Mike once commanded her own spaceship, but the prospect of sacrificing the crew for the mission was unbearable. But she understood the value of this sacrifice.
She told him: "The power of the captain is among all wolves," "In short, no matter the cost. They are ready. Now, if you do not have the will to make that choice, then like me, you will have nowhere to take advantage . "
The story of the new "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" is very different-not only because it is shared by multiple protagonists, but it has been sacrificed again and again. For the new SAS recruiter Kyle Garrick, this is not a small price; a question is whether he can do his own thing in the shadows for Londoners to sleep peacefully at home. For the rebel leader Farah, the price is the whole family. Knowledge that undermines her principles for her brother will put her on the path of indiscriminate killing.
The final protagonist of the game, Alex, is a special case. As an agent of the CIA, he can start the game without any principle: his job is to carry out the wishes of the US intelligence service and work with any force that is beneficial to the country ’s interests abroad. However, throughout the game, he admired Farah's belief that once she reclassified her army as a terrorist organization, she joined her army and finally ignored the order.
Eventually, when Alex had the opportunity to dedicate himself to Farah's career, he seized the opportunity with both hands. Like the soldiers under Reyes, he longed for death. He said: "I have been assigning tasks all my life." "I believe this. Please place an order for me."
It's hard to imagine that when Infinity Ward wrote that line, they planned to let Alex sell the battle pass six months later. In another game, this may not matter, but the studio has always insisted on including multiplayer games in the overall story of Modern Warfare. So classic, Alex is now alive again.
Although his face is popular in the Warzone, and his new prosthesis is a much-needed diversity in the roster dominated by identified soldiers, it is a pity to see Alex ’s sacrifice Not done. The campaign theme lost some resonance in the process.
