Hasan\u2019s dive into the Modern Warfare 2 campaign has been equal parts chaotic gameplay and booming laughter. The franchise\u2019s over-the-top nature has created several situations that the political commentator simply couldn\u2019t resist tearing apart in the name of realism. While the gameplay is gripping and does weave together an impressive narrative, Piker\u2019s problems with the exaggerated nature of each mission led to him cracking several jokes at the game he called a \u201cwar crime simulator.\u201d Hasan calls MW2 a \u201cwar crime simulator\u201d *Warning: campaign spoilers ahead One mission sees Task Force 141 dropping into a desert area accompanied by a friendly helicopter. When his chat suggested that this level was inspired by the United States\u2019 takeover of Osama bin Laden\u2019s compound, Hasan instantly dismissed the idea. \u201cIf that was the case, the helicopter in front of me would immediately explode. Everybody knows that Seal Team Six loves dropping helicopters. It\u2019s famously their most favorite thing to do,\u201d he joked. Except the joke was really on him as only a few seconds after the drop the helo does get blown up by enemy defenses, which instantly sent Hasan into a fit of laughter before saying, \u201cOkay, this game is realistic\u2026\u201d Another moment in the campaign puts the player in control of a missile that is tracking the vehicle of a rather important politician. It took a second for Piker to understand what was happening, but once it set in he tried to resist it the entire way. \u201cIt\u2019s making me do it\u2026I don\u2019t wanna do the war crime,\u201d he yelled as he guided the explosive to its destination. \u201cI just executed a state leader of a foreign state!\u201d While there are certainly some legal (and moral) quandaries at play across the entire story, it\u2019s clear that Hasan had a good time working through the campaign even if it might not be one that he ever revisits in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hasan labels MW2 a \u201cwar crime simulator\u201d after playing Campaign Twitch.tv\/HasanAbiHasanAbi is one of the most politically involved streamers in the industry and while he\u2019s had some fun with MW2\u2019s campaign mode, he\u2019s also labeled it a \u201cwar crime simulator\u201d thanks to a few scenes with questionable ethics.
