The game has no issue telling you that “to do good, you need to do bad,” it’s mentioned several times with remarkably straight faces in the campaign and is even offered as loading screen advice, but “Borderline” shows to what end Call of Duty believes that. This is an extraordinarily grim look behind the curtain at what Modern Warfare 2 has to say about the people trying to stop global catastrophes and the role that civilians, the people they’re trying to save, play in it. After that, the level just continues as normal. Instead, your partner offhandedly says something about getting medical attention for them, but you can see them laying face down, riddled with bullets in pools of their own blood. ![]() ![]() The tone doesn’t shift and no one grapples with the fact that they, the “good guys,” just killed a handful of regular civilians. You kill the two civilians inside their own house and then just move on. Your partner escalates things by roughing up a woman who is rightfully upset that you’re there and the remaining two civilians pull out guns of their own to shoot at you because, as far as they know, you’re two unknown, heavily armed intruders who are kicking doors in and pointing guns at people.Īs soon as they do, your partner gives the go-ahead to open fire on them. They eventually break into a house that they think the terrorist fled into and start kicking doors down in their search as the owners of the house confront them for barging in. When they cross the border, the two remark that they don’t have any jurisdiction in the U.S., but can’t let the terrorist just get away, so they’ll sort out the legal details later and make sure to be careful. The fifth mission in Modern Warfare 2’s campaign, “Borderline,” sees two Mexican Special Forces agents chasing a terrorist over the border into the U.S.
