Meet TF141!
"Makarov, you ever hear the old saying: 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?"
He's a badass through and through. Nothing else needs to be said. He's my favourite from the OG Trilogy
"Nobody's gonna say a word when the Russians club every American they can reach."
He learned from the best. We saw him go from the FNG to a legend in his own right. He was brave and loyal 'till the very end...SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!
"Mission failed, we'll get 'em next time!"
He looks cool, but he's way more developed as a character in the Reboot Series. I don't think the devs realised how popular he would become.
"ARGHHHH!"
The only time you hear him in the game is if you fall off the cliff in Cliffhanger. He also doesn't have a model until the Remastered version. But I like his callsign, "Roach".
"Five years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye. And the world just fuckin' watched."
I hate this old, saggy ass bitch but goddamnit he is such an amazing villain.
Any gifs of gameplay you see here are from me unless stated outherwise. Also there's a lot of yapping and cringe, so beware.

Modern Warfare 2 (2009) is a first-person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. It's the sixth Call of Duty game and picks up right after where Modern Warfare (2007) left off. It offers three game modes: Spec Ops, Campaign and Multiplayer. But I'm sure you already knew all of that.
Personally, I don't play video games that often. And when I do, I play fps games. They're easy to pick up, great to play with friends and that adrenaline high is what keeps me coming back. But it's mostly because running around and shooting people is dumb fun lmao. I'm a casual player, so I don't care if I suck balls, as long as I'm having a blast doing so.
I should mention that when this game originally came out, I was WAYY too young to have played it. And by that, I don't mean I wasn't allowed to play it; I mean I physically couldn't play the game. Like, I literally couldn’t hold a controller properly LOL. But what I'm trying to say is I never got to experience this era of shooters until recently. What really stands out about this game is how gritty and grounded everything feels. Compared to modern shooters - which are packed with anime skins and fucking neon camo - MW2 has this raw, military realism that’s kind of refreshing. Even the UI and sound design make it feel like you’re in the middle of a real, brutal warzone.
But if this game came out ages ago, how did I end up playing it?
A really tiny FNG
I was in primary school when my parents took me back to our home country for the holidays. We visited family, friends, and even attended a few weddings. For one of those weddings, the reception was at this big house. All of the adults were on the first floor socialising while they kept us kids cooped up in a bedroom on the second floor.
My memory's a bit fuzzy but I remember there were some kids playing Just Dance and a few others colouring. I was really tired, however I couldn't sleep then so I kinda just watched the others. That was when I noticed two boys playing something in the corner
I think it was the oldest kid in the room who was playing while a younger boy watched him. I recall watching his screen, being confused and curious at the same time. To me, it seemed like a blur of people running around, shouting and shooting each other. There were loud explosions and sometimes the screen flashed white. The older boy was shouting into his mic and I heard other people too.
