50 Cent does voiceover for COD: MW2
"Watch your fire!" "Tango down!" etc.
50 Cent has recorded a cameo voiceover for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
There are some pictures of him visiting developer Infinity Ward over on his blog, This is 50. There you can see him "hanging out" with members of the band Good Charlotte and wearing a hat and some sunglasses. Cheer up, sir! Could be worse, could have been ten times!
As reported by Kotaku, Cent will provide "one of the squad voices in Multiplayer / Spec Ops".
You can expect to hear him say things like, "Reloading," "Watch your fire," "I'm down, get me up!", "Tango Down!" and "Oh no, I'm out of moisturiser!" Maybe not the last one.
Cent won't be the only star doing a cameo, according to Bowling. "He is one of quite a few casual cameos in the game, none of which I can name at this point," he said.
"Benji and Joel of Good Charlotte NOT being one of them. They're just good friends with Curtis and came along with him when he was here recently to check out his voice in the game."
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be released for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on 10th November.

The best thing about 50 cent Blood on the sand was the quote button. I hope he brings that same level of enthusiasm to COD.

Was Blood on the Sand not enough to convince you that he is now officially a war veteran? Sheesh.

Still, at least he isnt one of the main characters.

This is where your £55 will be going . . .
In fairness, only 50p of it.
Another growling, incoherent grunt I can do without I certainly couldn't tell his voice apart from any other goon-in-game. Are subtitles an option?

Next Modern Warfare will require motion controls, so your gran can strafe using a playable Eminem.

.50 is just a celeb voice actor just like Johnathan Ross was in H3. I can't understand why people are getting so worked up. I'm no .50 fan and I've never played his game. I cannot imagine his acting in COD:MW2 being any worse (sterotypical) than the Cole Train was in GOW.

I can see why you're saying that but you're missing a fundemental point.
How many people grow up wanting to be like 50 Cent? And in comparison, how many people grow up wanting to be Niko Bellic?
I'd guess that aggressive rap music is more of a contributor to any knife crime on the streets today than GTA. People know that Niko Bellic isn't real, in fact I'd imagine that a lot of people play GTA specifically to do things they know they wouldn't do in real life. 50 Cent on the other hand teaches you that real people do call women 'bitches' and carry weapons around to defend themselves.

The last Fiddy game set the benchmark for shooters. COD can't even come close.

Assuming that .50 will just be a voice in COD:MW2 - the enjoyment that you should get from playing spec-ops with a friend will dwarf any ill feelings that you have towards .50 telling you to “Reload”.
Let’s get his involvement into perspective.

I'll ask you again, which has more of an effect in disrespecting women - GTA or 50 Cent's lyrics?
Which has more of an effect on aggression and gang violence - computer games or rap music?
In the absence of data, take your honest best guess. My money isn't going to go to the one I'd answer.

The problem for me is that we constatntly hear about how the costs of videogame development have skyrocketed, but the real increase in costs has been in marketing, which does nothing to get us better games. Would World at War have been any worse without Kiefer Sutherland, or Oblivion without Patrick Stewart?
This is the problem now that games have gone mainstream - the mainstream are morons and you can virtually guarantee a certain number of sales with celebrity endorsements and flashing "BUY!" buttons. All those millions of dollars spent, and 75% of them aimed at people who frankly I would prefer just stayed away from my hobby.
Hey videogames, we finally made it to the bigtime! Now watch in horror as our rally games feature monster-trucks, our RTS games ditch the S and the Wii becomes the console everyone else has to beat.

@Matt_B: I don't think it is hate towards him, I think it is the pointlessness of it all. They are paying for him to add literally nothing to the game. Same with the rest of the 'celeb' voices. Utterly utterly pointless.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
You have strong views on rap music, so much so that you are willing to not purchase a potential GOTY becuase of .50 minor involvement. I was untrigued by this and assumed that someone with such strong views would want to abstain from all media involved in promoting this subject matter (including GTA). I also figure that on GTA you don't listen to the The Beat 102.7

"video games glamorise violence and some depict women in a degrading fashion. You've played GTA IV"
Be careful Matt, you almost sound as informed as a journalist! Depicting violence is one thing, being a talentless rap star, ex-gun-carrying drug dealer is something else. Plus he's a dick!
RedSparrows,
"I love the snobbery in this kind of thing. As if CoD (or indeed, most online communities) is a hotbed of culture and eloquence - such an idea is laughable."
Red, it's not about culture or eloquence. Videogames, in case you hadn't noticed, are moving up in world. No longer are they mindless arcade games for kids, they're expensive, often very well produced entertainment for a far larger audience. And dare I say it, the industry is gaining a little respect these days from the general public, and more importantly, other industries. So while we've started to get used to the better games hiring the services of 'proper' actors (albeit some are celebs), the use of some joker of a rap star (not even musician, this guy is all but talentless from my understanding), this is hardly the direction any gamer want to see games go. So yes, in a way it's gamers being snobs, but I think we'd all prefer gaming to go in 'the right' direction. 50 cu*t, is not it!
CosmicGypsy,
Are you public admitting you watch Loose Women??
While I'm sure it's upsetting for gamers who live for Modern Warfare, you have to understand that with MW2 delaying some games because other developers fear they may lose sales competing against MW2, and Activision's stance that we're all a bunch of lucky bast*rds and should be paying far more for games, unfortunately MW2 (not to mention Activision) is open to hostile comments. We all expect games to slowly rise in price, as we see with all products, but it's the way it's been handled by Activision that's annoyed most of us.
Anyway, as he's a grunt in the game, you can be sure he'll be gaining a few more bullet wounds... either by my own gun, or I'll do my damnest to get him killed. Can't imagine much of his 'voice-acting' will be used if my grenade blows up at his feet.

Couldn't they have got some sound slices from Tupac Shakur, that would've been a lot better, playing multiplayer whilst your character runs around reciting "Hit Em Up" lyrics for added effect..

I bet they didn't. Why would they need to?"
Well unsurprisingly, they havn't released the details of how much or if he was paid. Show me where it says they paid Tom Cruise to be in Cocktail. I don't need to see his pay slip to come to the conclusion that people are usually paid in return for doing work.
I suppose you think THQ got him to do all his work on their games for free too?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
And anybody suggesting 50 cent would do this for free because of the "kudos of appearing in MW" has severly overvalued this franchise.
"I bet they didn't. Why would they need to?"
Why would they need to? What sort of question is that? They would need to, because if they didn't, his voice wouldn't be in the game. Its not rocket science. Christ, people will be saying he didn't get paid for Blood on the Sand next.

I've already got an idea for my first story... 50 C*nt actually wrote a line from one of his songs, all by himself? Whatcha think? Too outrageous? Maybe I'll start with something a little more realistic "M Jackson fakes death for insurance fraud".

I don't think it's so much the issue that Fifty is in the game, I actually don't think he's that bad an actor having seen his film, I think for some people at least, this is just another demonstration of the direction that Activision are taking this franchise in. It reeks of the big Hollywood sequel, unrealistic plot, a series of set pieces without a great deal of substance, celebrity endorsements (with the promise that more are to follow) and when you wrap all that up in a big £55 bow, it really grates.
I know I could get it for less than that, but for me that will still mean that Activision are getting a sale, which will just enforce their belief that we're all willing to pay £55 for their games (they won't know if you only paid £38 for it from Argos).
For me, it's a no buy. The only power we have over the mega-publishers is with our wallets, if you buy it then you're telling Activision that this is what you want, you want celebrity endorsements, you want high budget - high price games, you want hollow plotlines strung together by a series of set pieces.
You want all of those things? Do you want to tell Activision that these are the things you want in your games? Then by all means, go and give them your money, validate the marketing men.

excuse me, I think i just made myself ill *vomits*
50 Cent appeals to the lowest common denominator... which makes it worrying that he's starring in the worlds biggest fps franchise... deeply worrying
that said, i don't think his involvement had any impact on the pricetag, MW2 costs so much simply because Activision knows it can charge more, and people will still buy it, because it's such a good game, not because it costs more t make, or 50 sent is in it. Blame Nobby Kotick, not Fiddy

(from cod 4 experiences) constant spawn waving, getting shot to pieces for advancing too quickly, getting up to the barn in chapter 'heat' to find that youve got to get down the hill again and the way the multiplayer game shits on noobs from a great height will all contribute to a no sale for me.
but, fuck me some of these comments are funny, thats why im here. my new favourite word is definately cuntbag.
watch there be an achievement for saving fiddys character in the game tho, like there was with the dude on the stairs and the farmer. i will be rolling on the floor rofling.
