L’auteur du scénario de Crysis 2, Richard Morgan, accessoirement écrivain et gamer à ses heures perdues n’y va pas avec le dos de la cuillère dans une interview avec CVG.

I thought Modern Warfare 2 was an immense disappointment. It was a massive stepdown from CoD4. What I thought when I played it was, ‘Jesus guys, what have you been doing? You’ve not ramped anything up. The story is worse and the game doesn’t really hang together, it’s just a bunch of mission levels.

It made no sense. It was totally implausible,” Morgan added. “It doesn’t resolve. Basically, all the things that bad storytelling does. I just think they were way too impressed with themselves and that’s always a danger. It’s just unfortunate.
They really took it to a new place and you can honestly say to people if you played the first game, the second one is the same but better. Modern Warfare 2 is the same but … way worse. And it cost more money.

Une succession de missions, une histoire pire que dans le premier (donc le premier n’était déjà pas top à ses yeux). Les gars d’Infinity Ward étaient trop sûr d’eux, aucune remise en cause… Si tu as joué au premier, tu as joué au deuxième et inversement. Le bonhomme prépare sa publicité. Grâce à moi, Crysis 2 va être de la bombe.
