(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); well alot of people have said treyarch just copied from IW blah blah blah you know the story, well i had an argument (if you can call it that) with some random guy on XBL the other day)

his argument was that everything in MW2 is original and not copied from anything else (where as treyarch copied everything from cod4 etc) so i decided to set about seeing if it was true, and the reason i came to this decision is by playing a very old game and noticed something

Going to be a work in progress thread as il work on it when im bored, add to it if you find anything else taken from another game
Please use some common sense and read the whole thing before you flame and/or -rep me. yes im talking to you GreekOps Happy, and some other twat but cant remember hes name :cool:

Game: Perfect dark 64.
IW took: The incoming nuke sound effect.

on the first level when you get caught by the camera, the alarm is an exact match for the incoming nuke Alarm sound from mw2, il try and get a copy or vid as comparison

Game: Goldeneye
IW took: Throwing knife

now alot of people seem to think throwing knife is new to FPS games, yet i know its been in several other FPS aswell, i dont know if goldeneye was the first, but its 1 of the earliest i remember

Game: Aliens (trilogy?)
IW took: Heartbeat sensors

well as soon as i saw the first screenshot of the HBS it automatically reminded me of aliens trilogy on psone, of course u could also say it was taken from the films but u get the idea

Game: several
IW took: Sentry guns

alot of people have moaned about these in the past like they are something new, well in several games theres been sentry guns in 1 form or another from aliens (controlled by laptop) and Laptop sentry gun (perfect dark 46) to name but 2, too many to list, but im gonna try and find the first placeable sentry gun n put it in the game tab asap

Game: marathon durandal (also on xbla)
IW took: Dual wielding guns

i got this info from my mate and fellow NGU member chaos_deception, this game is the first to have dual wielding in any FPS

Game: duke nukem
IW took: Game ending Nuke

Anyone remember this game? and the multiplayer? it wasnt based on a killstreak, it was a hidden switch in every multiplayer map = nuke instant win even if you was losing, its a different game mechanic but the principle is still the same

Game: Delta force / medal of honor
IW took: Noobtubes

Noobtubes are nothing new, they have been in plenty of other games but people didnt bitch about them then, just using the 2 most heard of series as an example, il have to search n find out what game first had noobtubes in

you cant say they stole noob tubes sentry guns and throwing knives because there real things so they didnt copy anyone its like saying the copied the guns of a previous game etc.

but other than that nice find

its all good information but i dont think any of thats has to do with anything if your going to talk about games with all the similar things like throwing knives and noob tubes and sentrey guns why not go into guns and gernades other games have those things in them 2 and way before MW2 none of what you said proves that IW copied anything b/c i dont care what nayone says no game that comes out right now doesnt have something like another game that has come out...if you want to talk about Dual wielding pistols then Bungie copied marathon durandal with their guns in Halo...if you want to prove IW copied someone then look into their mulltiplayer and single player and tell me if any other game you play is almost exactly like ethier of these

no this list is a counter argument to everyone saying treyarch copied this and that and also to those that are complaining about things in mw2 like they are something new, its just putting things in to perspective and proving how pathetic todays generation is these days, no one complained in any of the above mentioned games

I've got one for you to try and find out... What was the earliest game to have a "Perk" system in place? It's a bit off topic because it was Cod4, but it's still IW
