So, I haven't written COD in…*sigh* forever. I kinda abandoned GreenEyes after I lost my way with it. The muse is slowly coming back, however, and I remain hopeful I'll sit up in bed in the middle of the night and the plot line will have come crashing back to me.
WARNING NOW. From here on in, there's major Modern Warfare 3 spoilers. DON'T BLAME ME WHEN IT RUINS YOUR GAME. DON'T WANT TO KNOW, DON'T READ.
See my A/N at the end for more :)
The bar was strangely quiet, the low hum of voices lost in the background. It was always like this though.
" Strange, huh?"
" What'cha mean?"
" It's always so quiet, man. I dunno. I don't like quiet."
" Mmh."
The younger of the two summoned a pale bar-tender, ordering softly, before turning to his companion.
" S'wierd seeing you without that mask, y'know."
The other man gave him a sharp grin, drumming his fingers on the bar top.
" You're one of few, Gary."
" I'll take it as a compliment."
The bartender returned, handing over the ordered beer. The two friends opened their own, leaving one sitting on the counter top, before a shadow fell over them. Both turned, one nearly dropping his bottle, the other's grin returning.
" Well, what d'ya know. Looks like you were right, Simon. We do need three after all."
There was a gruff laugh, before the familiar Scottish burr filled the air, a hand placed on either man's back.
" Sorry I'm late, lads."
" S'alright mate. Fancy a drink?"
" Aye. Thought you'd never ask."
SO. MW3. Let me tell you this. I am a grown man, well somewhat, with a little boy of my own, and I still teared up a little at the game. The emotion they gave Price, the raw sorrow of the scene was brilliantly done. It was like a father losing a son, God forbid I ever know that feeling. And when he was speaking to MacMillan, there was that throat-choking-sob all over again. Still a little peeved that they killed Soap; he was my guy ): My sister called it a 'man-crush', I just think he was that bad-ass…
ANYWAY. The entire game was brilliant. I won't spoil the ending, just in case you're not quite done, but what a way to finish it, Infinity Ward. Hats off to you. A fitting end to the series. And please, whatever happens, don't make a 4 'just because'. It ended perfectly, with an amazing game. Please, please, please just stick to developing multi-player. DON'T RUIN A GOOD THING.
So this is just a sort of drabble, to ease my Soap-hurt. I'd like to think he, Roach and Ghost are chilling someplace nice together, taking turns to boot Makarov. :D
