50 Cent Has Played Modern Warfare 2 (And Gets A Voice Role?)

Whatever, I'm holding my excitement until Tony Yayo gets to play it.


Maybe a better question is why are they all standing around looking at sunglasses samples? Is MW2 going to come with shades, too?

Jeez, Infinity Ward's bringing in all kinds of celebrity-types to play Modern Warfare 2. 50 Cent's official news site updated with shots of the skull enthusiast playing games at Infinity Ward alongside the guys from Good Charlotte. The post states that 50 is doing a voice the game, as well, specifically "The Multi-Player Voice."

I have to imagine that means he's just doing some random soldier voices in multiplayer, but what if they meant he was the announcer? Can't you just hear 50 screaming "headquarters located, motherfucker" now?

Also, maybe it's just me, but between Good Charlotte, 50, and Dane Cook, doesn't it seem like IW is going out of its way to connect its game with questionable celebs? Are Spencer Pratt, Chris Brown, and the guy from Jon Gosselin coming in next week, or what? The only celebrity types that've played it (and been noted publically) that I can think of that don't seem like awful people are Will Arnett and Jon Glaser. Oh, and Ice-T, who recently saw the game in New York.

Oh, and thanks to Sylinder for the tip. 
 
[UPDATE] Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling has stated that 50 will be doing one of the squad member voices in "multiplayer/Spec Ops."

Yeah, how does Treyarch land Kiefer Sutherland and IW get them?

Is this confirmation of skulls in CoD:MW2?

I hope that Gob from Arrested Development is one of the sodiers you fight with in the campaign. He would distract terrorists with his chicken dance while I take them out. Make this happen, IW.

On the surface, Fiddy may not seem like a good candidate for MW2, however most of you have probably forgotten his rocky relationship with helicopters. Fiddy hates helicopters, and it has been reported that during multiplayer sessions of CoD 4, he would even shoot down his own helicopters. Simply put, he's the perfect man for the job.

I hope he is the announcer.

 I'm one of the few people who loved the COD4 beta, after two months of the actual game hated it, and will not buy Modern Warfare 2 (rental maybe).
 
I know this might sound off-topic but does anyone know when's the next intellectual game Shoulder Boy (or w/e he spells it, fuck) can review?

I got lulz.

Instead of generic-rock-palm muted riffs when we level up expect some kind of urban funk to fade in with ''level up, bitch'' at the end of it
Ariaseon Aug. 7, 2009 at 5:52 p.m.
From what I can remember, Robert Bowling and Dane Cook are old friends. Can't think of a reason for Good Charlotte and 50 though.
JoelTGMon Aug. 7, 2009 at 5:53 p.m.
What multiplayer voice role could he have done, besides the announcer?  God I hope he isn't the announcer.
