** [[invoked]] Brings this up with ''Modern Warfare'' games is his article "What is the Matter with You People?" Aside from bringing up the reason for the above question, Yahtzee brings up that when one of the player characters was [[KilledOffForReal killed]] in a nuclear blast in the original ''Modern Warfare'', it was a well done shock. In almost every moment like that, the character will survive or somebody will rescue them, so it's especially gripping with the character's struggle to move before finally dying. In Yahtzee's opinion, the next games in the series missed what made that a powerful moment and started killing characters left and right, causing the deaths to lose impact. The infamous "No Russian" level from ''Modern Warfare 2'' - while it served the story at the time - came off as a cheap attempt to shock the players just for the sake of shocking them. By the same token, the family killed by a suicide bomber in ''Modern Warfare 3'' failed to shock in any sense, because it was expected by that point.
