For the New York Yankees’ sake, I sure hope Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels continues his tomorrow 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 imploring Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players to avoid t🍷hrowing grenades randomly is pretty damn funny (its NSFW language contributes to that).
At this point, I’ve just about hit “information overload” on Modern 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 some controversial footage from earlier in the week, this doesn’t spoil anything; it’s just a good bit of fun. (And for some reason, I fin꧙d it funny to hear a baseball player swear. I can’t e💧xplain 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 is for pussies.
[Update: For the record, everyone, I completely missed the “Fight Against Grenade Spam” 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 response here. -Samit]
