For the New York Yankees’ sake, I sure hope Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels continues hissub-par playoff performancetomorrow night in Game 3 of the World Series. But as much as I want to see him crash and burn against the Yankees, I have to hand it to him — this public service announcement imploringCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2players to avoid throwing grenades randomly is pretty damn funny (its NSFW language contributes to that).
At this point, I’ve just about hit “information overload” onModern Warfare 2— the game’s going to be out in a week and a half, and I’m just going to play it when it releases. But unlike somecontroversial footagefrom earlier in the week, this doesn’t spoil anything; it’s just a good bit of fun. (And for some reason, I find it funny to hear a baseball player swear. I can’t explain it.)
I, for one, strongly suggest that you all follow Hamels’ sage advice, because like him, I’m tired of seeing a killcam replay where someone merely runs forward and tosses a grenade as far as they can in the general direction of the opposing team. Remember: that bush-league stuff isfor pussies.
[Update:For the record, everyone, I completely missed the “FightAgainstGrenadeSpam” thing the first time around, and I didn’t realize it until after I saw everyone lambasting Infinity Ward on Twitter and the Web. Obviously, that (apparently anti-gay) message is not something that Destructoid or I endorse, and had I noticed it before this story went live, the tone of the post would’ve been completely different.
As it turns out, Infinity Ward has pulled the video; you can check out their official responsehere. -Samit]
