Call of Duty: Advanced Warfares Kampagnenmodus ist unterhaltsam genug – sofern es Ihnen gelingt, Ihr Gehirn für einige Stunden abzuschalten. Wenn Sie den Fehler begehen, während des Spielens u denken, werden Sie alle paar Sekunden über die gähnenden Plot-Löcher stolpern.
Advanced Warfare ist schließlich ein Call of Duty Spiel und es gab noch nie ein Call of Duty Spiel, das für seine tiefsinnige und durchdachte Story gelobt wurde. Deshalb hatten die Leute von Playthroughline — ein Blog, das sich damit befasst, wie Videospiele die Story handhaben – so viel Spaß dabei (und so viel Material), diese umfangreiche Analyse der Sünden des Spiels in Drehbuchform zu kreieren.
Die Probleme beginnen wenige Sekunden – SEKUNDEN – nach dem Start der Kampagne des Spiels.
JACK MITCHELL
We come into this world with our eyes closed. The most of us choose to live our whole lives that way. We blindly follow anyone that will lead us, giving ourselves over to —
WILL IRONS
Hey Jack, you're mumbling purple prose to yourself again.
JACK MITCHELL
Oh sorry, I was just reminiscing about us being best friends and having joined the military six months ago.
WILL IRONS
While we're on that topic, why'd you join up?
JACK MITCHELL
Seriously, best friend? In all our time together, this has never come up? Not even when we enlisted AT THE SAME TIME?
WILL IRONS
Apparently not! I joined to get away from my father.
JACK MITCHELL
Oh really? Is he opposed to the armed forces? Did you need an escape from a suffocating environment? Was there any sort of —
WILL IRONS
I joined to get away from my father! That's all I've got!
Ihr Mission, sollten sie sich entscheiden, zu... oh, Ich denke, sie müssen es tun.
SERGEANT CORMACK
Everybody listen up! North Korea has invaded Seoul!
JACK MITCHELL
So OPLAN 5027 is in effect? Did political talks fall apart? Is there a resolution from the United Nations? Have there been any —
SERGEANT CORMACK
NORTH KOREA HAS INVADED SEOUL! Stop trying to find a deep plot in all this!
Bald ist der arme Will Irons nicht mehr und wir kommen zur berühmten Begräbnisszene.
MITCHELL is attending WILL'S FUNERAL.
JACK MITCHELL
Why is one man spared, while another taken? To this day I couldn't give you an answer. But death comes for us all, eventually.
(beat)
If you were still here, you'd have cut my purple prose short by now, best friend.
CORMACK is delivering A EULOGY.
SERGEANT CORMACK
A life is only important in proportion to its impact on the lives of others, which is a really depressing thing to say if you think about it. Also, doesn't it feel kind of wrong to solemnly mourn a single death while Mitchell here just indiscriminately killed countless of soldiers in this vague future conflict? Just a thought.
(solemnly touches coffin)
JACK MITCHELL
How will I ever deal with the grief of having lost my best friend? He saved my life and I couldn't save his. I left a piece of myself back in Seoul, and I don't just mean my arm. I'll probably need years of therapy and the support of those close to me.
He gets a QUICKTIME PROMPT to PAY HIS RESPECTS by ALSO SOLEMNLY TOUCHING THE COFFIN.
JACK MITCHELL
Or we can just compact all of that into the same interaction cue used to push buttons or plant bombs, that works too.
Bald wird Mitchell von Atlas verpflichtet, dem privaten Militärunternehmen, das vom Vater seines besten Freundes aller Zeiten geleitet wird, den er noch nie getroffen hat. Es dauert nicht lang, bis er seine erste Mission erledigen muss.
TWO MONTHS LATER, MITCHELL gets his FIRST ASSIGNMENT.
GIDEON
We need to pretend for at least a while that Atlas isn't abhorrently evil, so luckily there's a massive anti-Western terrorist organisation known as the KVA at large!
JACK MITCHELL
What does KVA stand for?
GIDEON
Nobody bothered to think of that. Anyways, the KVA are led by a former Chechen separatist known as Hades, although we never specify whether he always called himself that or whether he took up the code name we assigned him. He hates technology, but that isn't stopping him from using it a lot! Like when he used a webcast to denounce "the cancer of technology," can you believe it?
JACK MITCHELL
Even for a red herring, I would've appreciated a little more effort in the writing than this.
GIDEON
We're in Lagos because the KVA have attacked a technology summit here and taken the Prime Minister hostage. We're going in, but first use this adorable little robot fly to recon the area.
MITCHELL takes control of the ROBOT FLY.
JACK MITCHELL
Awesome, I am kicking ass with this thing! Look at me smoothly whizzing around! Think I can fit it through this vent cover? Fuck yeah I can!
GIDEON
The game's flying it for you, Mitchell. All you're doing is looking slightly to the left or right.
Und es geht weiter und weiter und weiter. Ich kann mich ehrlich nicht erinnern, dass es in Advanced Warfare so viel Story gibt. Ich habe es wahrscheinlich aus reinem Selbstschutz verdrängt. Das gesamte überarbeitete Skript können Sie auf Playthroughline. Es ist brillant.
