#cod mw3 rm

[gofishygo]

i know that everyone says this but the mw3 rm soap death was shit awful . looking back at it, logistically , it shouldn’t have happened .

so the first injury in this was soap being shot in the right shoulder (most likely in joint tendon region) . pretty painful , and if did hit in the area i believe it did , would hinder mobility in the upper right region of the body (neck, arm, some torso muscles .

HOWEVER !! soap has proven to be shot in similar or worse regions in other missions and has been able to carry through and complete objective alive .

what you are seeing is a move that should have killed makarov instantly . this is a stab performed to the external jugular vein (and due to soaps experience , possibly a carotid artery . i was taught this attack in weapons studies , my friends in the military were also taught that this region is one of the quickest ways to krill . (not giving murder advice just trying to prove a point please don’t ban me) not to mention this is immensely painful . realistically , mans should have dropped then and there . not to mention there were sas soldiers who should have opened fire the second they saw him anyways ??

now THIS is the part that pisses me off the most. see makarov’s lock ? that actively engages the trapezius and scalene muscles , which would be DIRECTLY affected from the stab would . combined with the fact that soap is (estimated) 80-90 kgs , he would not have been able to perform that lock let alone hold it .

and with soap being part of the fucking MILITARY , he should have been able to get out of that by a) breaking the locked arm and using the other hand to either disarm / kill makarov (which he should have been able to handle , especially judging by the fucking alone mission) or b) hitting the back of makarovs knee to send them both to the ground, slip under him to not break his arm and hit em w the buck+trap+flip to get a vantage, and then continue the fight from there, which should be very short anyways considering that makarov’s bleeding out faster than a fucking SNAKE STRIKE . and somehow with the majestic force of activision giving less than 2 fucks about all the characters and medical theory there , makarov manages to get a straight aim and shoot soap straight through the ear ??!! and then bolt past a fuck ton of bullets that should have BEEN FIRED ON HIM EARLIER and then hurl himself INTO A TRAIN . if you wanted to kill of one of the leads in the modern warfare series , do it in a way that is well written and thought out and accurate .

ok ok fat disclaimer before i drop this take because i just KNOW this isnt gonna be received well , but

I AM NOT RACIST. I AM NOT RACIST. I AM LITERALLY NOT RACIST AND MY OPINIONS ARE NOT BASED ON RACE .

this is from a WRITING perspective, NOT PERSONAL PREFERENCE .

and now that we have established this, i will single handedly drop the take that will get my account mass reported and banned, and understandably so

as much as i love him , gaz dying would have been much better writing than soap .

think about it; he's the right hand man of price (one of the franchises most iconic characters and the lead protagonist of the series) , and is one of the most changed characters compared to the 09 versions . had some of the best writing and development throughout the series (apart from ghost and soap in mw2 but NOT mw3 they were just fuckin arounf the whole time) , and is arguably one of the most important and underrated leads . a death from him would have a huge effect on the team , especially price , and would make far more sense than soaps .

because in my opinion, soap was just fucking around the whole mw3 . made not a SINGLE smart decision (but not much characters did it was a battle of who could outstupid each other), and had less impact compared to gaz .

of course, we're changing the way he died and the final fight sequence because lets be real soap's death was one of the most underwhelming and medically inaccurate ways to die, but we should have killed him off like a main character. i would have much prefered gaz to die as the hero he was, and have some form of final interaction with price . let's create a sequel that is vengance in it's entirety, show the community the effects of tf141 without gaz that opens up so many plot potentials . because let's be real , that would have emotionally destroyed the whole fandom far more than the actual ending is , and created a far more interesting plotline .

ok hot take done please dont come after my whole bloodline please
