Killing Injured enemies - MW2 (SPOILERS) - General Discussion

SPOILER WARNING: Click here to reveal hidden content.

After Price shoots down the helicopter and your boat goes over the waterfall, you end up stumbling around in the desert (?) with the crashed helicopter. If you actually search around you find the pilot and co-pilot are still alive, crawling around on the floor. I killed them, with a knife. They were bad people (apparently) and I was pissed off about having to shoot down a helicopter. Everybody knows that Sweep loves helicopters...

So anyways. When you find injured enemies (in games) that aren't attacking you, do you kill them or let them live to see what happens. I tend to kill them. Do you have some fucked up moral code that prevents you from killing virtual enemies that are no longer a threat? Ten seconds ago those pixels were trying to send you back to a checkpoint!?! Did you kill those dudes in MW2 or let them live?

I kill them, every single one of them - even in the 'shocking' scene.

It's just a game dude, you're given bullets to use them so why not!

I let those suckers live, one was dragging his entrails on the floor so he aint a threat, the other was shiverin like a leaf and clicking an empty chamber at me, i walked up til he passed out - and then i nodded, all was good.

I KILL EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING UNLESS THEY ARE A CUTE ANIMAL

I think that watching through my iron sights as they burned (and Im talking about the bit in the mission before where there is a bunch of soldiers on fire that are no longer a threat) until they die was probably much worse than shooting them in the face....

and I still feel pretty good about not shooting any civillians in "no russian"

...that said I did poison a lady in ACII then beat her to death with a broom.....

I actually didn't even notice them. Normally when I see a downed enemy in a game I tend to finish them off. I've seen lots of games where enemies on the ground will still shoot you, so now I kill them all regardless of whether or not they're still a threat.

I let one live once, and the cocksucker pulled out a pistol and started shooting at me.

Never again. None are innocent.

1st time i killed em because i thought they were going to kill me. Second time i let them live to see their animations play out, and they're so pathetic looking i spared them ;O

I dont, but theres that one part in MW2, when you come out of te ecave, and shepard bombards the camp filled with his own soldiers, then after that, they are all crawling around ON FIRE, i shot them cuz, comeon, no one should have to burn alive. Thats not cool.

In real life you double tap to the head as you assault through an objective. In the video game you unload a magazine into their head.

As soon as I see those bastards dragging themselves I finish them off with a bullet or two, you know, just to make sure that fucker is dead. 3 minutes before that asshole could have killed me.

Also, if you don't kill the guy beside the helicopter, he keeps firing blank shots through out the cutscene where Price is fighting Shepherd, you can actually hear it in the background xD.

The best bit of that game is when you rope down to that guard and stab him, watching the life drain from his pixelly eyes.

I waited in that scene until he put his gun up, and realized he had no ammo when he tried to fire it. Then I stabbed the piece of shit in the head.

I wonder if Ryan yelled out "AHA. I TOLD YOU SO" when the helicopter crashed and people died.

Either way. I killed them. With a knife.

I know this is terrible but the first thing that I did was just completely open fire in No Russian. I had no afterthoughts about it, until I heard on podcasts about how other people did not fire....

It's a game.

#18 Posted by LaszloKovacs (1075 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

I put the first guy out of his misery. Would've let the second one live, but the jackass had to try and shoot me, so I stabbed him in his stupid face. It didn't matter that the gun was empty, just that he was trying.

#19 Posted by OutOfBounds9000 (2300 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

I kill them all,mostly with a pistol,or with a knife when they're crawling,for that ''Dramatic effect.''

#20 Posted by Scooper (7880 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

I'll go one step further and say I killed the perfectaly still enemy models in the museam after beating the game. Shot them right in the braincase.

#21 Posted by Hamz (6842 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

Considering I can't rely on the AI in MW2 to kill them for me I make sure those suckers stay down. Can't risk the little buggers sending me back to a checkpoint, can't risk it one bit!

#22 Posted by TaccyP (307 posts) - 3 years, 5 months ago

I stabbed their faces off.
