(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 , 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

Not sure if any of you played COD4 on the PC but there was a well known mod by PST*Joker that the AC-130 and other MW2 features were influenced (without any recognition) by him and other PC modders. Not to mention they didn't include any support for dedicated servers in MW2 so now basically modding for the game isn't even possible anymore. Great way to thank the PC community who were the ones who made the COD series popular in the first place. :mad:

agree and don't agree, sure these things exist. but i doubt infinity ward took them directly from these games or said hey lets steal this idea. How do you know it's not original, every game has to be thought out of something that already exist's....
