Modern Warfare 2 embraces NPC trend with odd weapon bundle ActivisionNPC live streams have taken over TikTok, and Modern Warfare 2 embraced the confusing trend with a new weapon bundle. Understanding social media\u2019s latest trend starts by understanding video game NPCs. Non-playable characters regurgitate scripted lines to help a world feel more lived in \u2013 to varying degrees of success as seen in the latest big releases. For example, an industry veteran provided insight into the creepy facial expressions of Starfield\u2019s NPCs. Streamers emulate the characteristics of video game NPCs through repetitive actions and dialogue. Pinkydoll emerged as one of the most popular streamers, spending hours on camera repeating phrases like \u201cice cream so good\u201d or \u201cgang gang.\u201d In Season 5, Activision introduced Battle Buddy, a virtual assistant that acts as a mini-announcer during Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 matches. Several different types of voices have been used, the latest being a nod to NPC streamers. Modern Warfare 2 players stunned by new NPC bundle On September 12, Warzone streamer WhosImmortal asked: \u201cWhat is this new NPC Warzone bundle?\u201d The 1600-COD point Modern Warfare 2 bundle comes with a Battle Buddy that repeats lines like \u201cLet\u2019s go kill yeah yeah,\u201d and \u201cOoh battlesuit time gang gang.\u201d COD community members couldn\u2019t believe their ears, as they responded with a mix of horror but also interest. Several Modern Warfare 2 players joked that they won\u2019t purchase the bundle because it doesn\u2019t include \u201cglizzy overdrive.\u201d This refers to a social media content creator who livestreams eating hot dogs in an overtly sexual manner when viewers donate with a hot dog emoji. WhosImmortal responded: \u201cNo glizzy overdrive, no purchase from me.\u201d A second user semi-seriously added that NPC streamer Pinkydoll should receive royalty payments with the comment: \u201cThey better be paying her.\u201d Going against the general consensus, a third commenter claimed: \u201cNot going to lie, I kind of love this.\u201d This will definitely go down as one of the oddest store bundles in Modern Warfare 2, but shouldn\u2019t come as too much of a surprise given Activison\u2019s recent lean on pop culture crossovers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
