Omnia sunt Communia Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I can see the similarities. Do we actually know if that is Soap or not or are we just making assumptions based on the fact that he is a badass and British (a brilliant combination, I might add)?

AbSoLuTiOn Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 As for this SAS guy, its funny it says SAS on his chest, as they never have markings on their uniforms, only like airbourne markings and no names, let alone saying SAS, and definately not in plain clothes, which defeates the object of wearing that clothing. I guess its just ID for the dumb player who cant tell the difference between accents. Well the team you're part of is called Task Force 141 or something and i'm thinking it's a collection of members of Spec Forces teams from around the world, like Delta Force, SAS etc. So i'm assuming he ha sit on his chest to represent the force he's part of. @Jacky Fiend: At the moment we are all assuming it's Soap as we know that Soap is an NPC now and he's the only real look at someone who is/was part of the SAS.

Lethal Nizzle Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Anyone else feeling the SAS guy/Soap looks a little like Joseph Turok from Turok too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The list of people he looks like just keeps on growing. EDIT: Been snooping around the IW forums just now, spotted a topic with weapons confirmed to be ingame from the trailers. Link.

Which should mean we may get some GIGN, GROM, KSK, GSG-9. If the weapons list is an easy paste, could you paste it here, I cant access the IW forums at work.

FullMetal Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 H&K 416 is one you forgot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) H&K 416 is one you forgot Its not a 416. Similar but not. The AK and the M4 are copies of Airsoft guns that have been customized. Wether or not they actually have real life counterparts remains to be seen. I will try and get some pictures later. Plus its funny. As I knew ALL of these guns were in the game, and its not even as detailed as my list. Though I didnt see any sign of an MP5. Though hopefully its in there. Then again I only saw the trailer once.

AlianAnt Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 People call off sick at work when big games come out. I've been guilty of skipping school to get a good 24 hours straight in for a big game before, multiple times. I was a lonely child... Metal up your ass!

I think it could be Soap but I think another theory is more probable. I'm thinking the badass with the mohawk will be MW2's version of Gaz. not Gaz himself but the commander's(Soap's) right hand man throughout the storyline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintdave Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 They showed an advert for this during the CL final on English television the other day with confirmation of the November 10th release date. This is a Tuesday which is an odd release day for us as our new games come out on Fridays. Since then all game shops have pre-order boxes now so I’m going to book some days off for that week to hit MP fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asimov Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 There's no way they woudn't include the MP5, it was probably the best all-round weapon in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking the badass with the mohawk will be MW2's version of Gaz. not Gaz himself but the commander's(Soap's) right hand man throughout the storyline I always wondered what Soap would look like. I really hope he is Sev from Killzone 2 I mean the mohawk guy. http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/MacTavish That website says Soap is the guy with the beard scaling a mountain in the trailer with a 1911 in his holster. Kelly Lake from Tears of the Sun I mean mohawk guy might not be soap at all. I know mohawks kick ass, but they're getting a little bit cliche...

Fnorg Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 That would make more sense. What time is the game set in, and what time was CoD4 set in? Seems a bit odd that Soap ranked up from sergeant to captain in that short a time. I dunno how it works in the SAS, but it's hella tricky to go from enlisted to officer, AFAIK.

He was the only survivor of a team that broke into an ICBM facility, saved the world and killed a terrorist leader. That seems pretty impressive to me.

You know, I never really took a step back and looked at the final mission summary. You'd think Soap would be promoted to some sort of ridiculously awesome position. Like General in Charge of Titty Inspection. I guess Soap liked shooting people too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zump Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah they're doing them too fast, but I think they will slow down on it. I guess Infinity Ward was just itching to get their hands back on the series after Treyarch made WaW. But if they keep thi pace up... It's too fast, not enough time to get that 10th prestige anymore.

If you were to promote a new recruit to General with no explanation it would look really weird. Yeah, but this is a videogame where Soap literally fought infinitely respawning enemies. My point is that we probably shouldn't prod the backstory too hard or we might lose focus on shooting people. Just watched the trailer again. If Soap is the bearded warrior, then he hip-tossed some sucker, stabbed a dude that screamed "NO!!!!!!" and apparently just really likes stabbing people in general. And he hit a f*cker on a snowmobile with a pickaxe. Just rename this game "COD6: Soap Absolutely Destroys the Entire World" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enjoii Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, there was a picture of Soap in the GameInformer article, and the Mohawk guy looks pretty similar to the pictures, especially in the snow scenes, so we can be fairly sure that it's Soap.
