[QUOTE=djshox;31906867]Facepunch: The community who hates Justin Bieber and Call of Duty so much they just can't stop talking about them.[/QUOTE]
What, you expect them to talk about bicycles ina thread called "Kanye West perform at Call Of Duty convention" ? Next time don't even bother posting, you're useless
Call of Duty does not care about black people.
He's actually going to do a promotion for BF3 while he's there.
Kanye west isn't the best rapper around, it's obviously Celph Titled!
[QUOTE=Angry Pineapple;31906878]Kanye's Graduation album was the only one I really liked...
Rest weren't very good.[/QUOTE]
His new album Watch The Throne is great actually.
[QUOTE=thisispain;31909306]out of touch with reality how exactly? kanye west doesn't exist?[/QUOTE]
Wow, um. No. The reality of this situation is that not many gamers listen to Kanye West. Broad generalization but come on. The way I imagine Activision's management is a board room full of suits who have never touched a game in their lives. They only know facts and figures and somehow see a correlation between "good seeling artist" and "good selling game" and decide to mash them toghether.
I think Kanye is p good. His beats sound different from the normal stuff and his lyrics are poetic.
[QUOTE=TropicalV2;31911983]call of duty's singleplayer campaigns and kanye west's collaborations with kid cudi are all dope as fuck
so fuck you all[/QUOTE]
Dope as FCUK

[QUOTE=MasterG;31915617]Oh, so snatching the mic from Taylor Swift at the VMAs was an act? Cause it seemed less of him being "in character" and more of a total dick move to me.[/QUOTE]
Getting drunk makes you do stupid shit, that's nothing new.
Kanye might be a dick though, I really don't know.
I shouldn't jump into this discussion I don't even want to be in it.

how can you call anyone out of touch with reality and then make a claim that isn't even remotely capable of being backed-up by anything unless god told you.

Kanye is the worst thing in music!!!!! UGH only if he had an ounce of talent that my favorite metal guitarist has.....
[QUOTE=Grim Joker;31911526]You are so ignorant it's kind of funny. First of all calling fans of the game 'CoDFags' is stupid, go back to 4chan. Second of all they're playing paintball, so in all likelihood the guns there will have no resemblance to the guns in the game. Third, they're not performing scenes from the game, what they mean is that they are going to have re-creations of the multiplayer maps for them to play paintball on.
I understand why people dislike Call of Duty, but at least have legitimate criticism and reasons to hate the game franchise. I hear a lot of Activision hate, and it isn't fair to bash on the game developers and the community managers and such just because their publisher does a lot of shitty things.
[editline]23rd August 2011[/editline]
Besides this is all for Charity so why are people saying it's so stupid. It's for a good cause, holy shit.[/QUOTE]
errr
In response to your second point, I remember back in the start when this was announced they said they would have a gun museum with all the guns in Call of Duty
"Explore the Call of Duty Armory - You've seen it all in-game, but now it's time to see it for real. Browse weapons and combat gear, concept art and research, and explore the history of Call of Duty."
As for your third point, yeah I misread it, but I wouldn't be surprised if that happens.
I just dislike how they're using all the "memorabilia" from a game that wasn't all that great, and using it to sell an event
it just seems so contrived, with all the branding branding branding
"Chow Down at Burger Town - Every soldier needs to replenish their energy with food and drink. Take a break and chow down at the a full-scale replica of Modern Warfare 2's Burger Town. Have a Burger Town Classic or a Chicken Burger, crispy or grilled. Finish off by enjoying Burcak's Sundae Shake."
[b]contributing to the thread[/b]
also Eminem and Rihanna are slated to perform as well, if you can believe those people
"According to[URL="http://www.charlieintel.com/1/post/2011/08/exclusive-eminem-and-rihanna-will-be-preforming-at-the-call-of-duty-xp-event.html"]CharlieINTEL »[/URL], both Eminem and Rihanna will be performing at an onsite concert as a special treat for all those who have tickets. Last year they both performed during Activision's E3 party and Eminem's songs have featured in trailers for both Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, as well as the Black Ops zombie map 'Five'."
really, brash commercialism at a call of duty gig? never would have guessed.
Summoning thisispain 101:
1) Make a thread with Kanye West in the title.

just because it's the standard for activision doesn't mean I shouldn't hate it

i never said you shouldn't hate it either
it's just pretty far down the list innit? i mean famine, wars.
pretty different from just a bunch of people geeking out and ordering food.
and you'd probably have absolutely no problem with it if it related to something you personally liked.
Two of the worst things of this century. Together. Great.

you can't really blame famine on the action of a few people
this you can
and I like kanye (inb4 disagree)

I like how you kind of ignored his point. If this was some convention with re-creations from your favorite video game and you could visit locations from your favorite video game and eat at the restaurant from your favorite video game, you probably wouldn't be bitching about it. Also why do you give a shit about the commercialism? Everything is going to charity.
I don't know what to think of Kanye West as a person (he does seem to go into the asshole spectrum), but there is no doubt in my mind that he is actually a good musician, as My Dark Twisted Fantasy is just sheer brilliance.

I would, actually (City 17 recreated IRL with IRL striders? would be some cool mechatronics but I could care less for the entire attraction)
but that's just me
fiction should stay fiction
that's also why I dislike cosplay and other shit like that, even when it's well done and from stuff that I like.

Well then video games shouldn't be made because then that brings fiction into the real world
And books should be burned because they promote fictional things in our world of non fiction
And TV Shows should all be informational because fiction is poisoning our non fictional brains.
The logic of 'fiction should stay fiction' is retarded.
cod is fun sometimes, but it's just that. It's nothing more than a mediocre series after 4 yet people praise it as a religion, even more than Halo was.
