Here’s something I didn’t expect going into this Modern Warfare 2 review: Infinity Ward now has its very own ‘Press F to pay respects’ moment, except worse in pretty much every conceivable way.
About halfway through the campaign, you find yourself chasing a terrorist through backyards and houses in a US border town. Every now and then a spooked resident will spring out from behind a door and demand you leave immediately, and when this happens a prompt appears at the top of your screen: ‘Hold right-click to de-escalate’. According to Call of Duty, the best way to calm an aggravated civilian is to wave a gun in their face.
