For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Y'all need to learn some videogame history. This is the map "Rust" from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, released in 2009. Almost as infamous as Blood Gulch from Halo.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

2009

... COD MW is a retro game now?

[–] _wizard@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yes. Yes you are old. Welcome to the party. Hot dogs are on the grill. Drinks are in the back.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Drinks are in the back.

Liquor at the front, poker in the rear?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I ardly even know er

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This actually sounds like a great time.

Hanging out with people my own age, LAN party, bbq, drinks…

Do you have Jolt Cola?

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I thought lan parties were over by 2002-3 when high speed internet was almost everywhere. But it could have just been that college got too serious for gaming for me.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

I used to go with my friends to the cyber cafe in 2004-2006 and play games and drink unholy amounts of Jolt Cola.

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Don;t listen to anyone. Call of Duty Modern Warfare was only released a couple of years ago.

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 7 points 2 weeks ago

MW 2019 yeah

...wait that was 7 years ago. Fuck.

[–] Rooskie91@discuss.online 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Haha this isn't even the best or oldest map named "Rust".

Edit: My bad, I confused "rust" with "rust".

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Its de_dust thank you

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's almost old enough to vote

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

It’s 15 years old… so maybe.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Never really played CoD but my first thought was “Man this sure looks like a video game map”

[–] Alenalda@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Idk isn't Nuketown anymore infamous cod map.

[–] XTL@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't that a map from the popular game ToeJam & Earl on the Sega Genesis?

[–] schwim@piefed.zip 13 points 2 weeks ago

You're driving through Borderlands 2.

1v1 snipers only

a 5-second AI-generated video of the same AI-generated Rust map as seen by a passing car

Oh dang, even the AI video version on FrazierKay's Twitter and TikTok looks really plausible. The only tells that it's fake are the 5 second video length and originating on a feed with other AI versions of Call of Duty maps.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

My god, these are getting convincing...

[–] FoxyGrandpa@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This is where men settle disputes

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

This is where the villain dies right as he's about to finish off the hero because he got impaled on one of the giant iron hooks that are chained to conveyor belts running along the ceiling for some reason.

He was laughing maniacally and having such a good time too.. 😔

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 8 points 2 weeks ago

Standard post apocalyptic first base starter pack.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

Pulling a knife out of yourself to throw and kill the antagonist of the game was peak CoD.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

My brain is jumping between TF2 and Fallout NV.

The TF2 "Dum! Dum! Da DAAAA!" jingle defintely played in my head.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 4 points 2 weeks ago

It’s obviously the Mad Max set

[–] serpineslair@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Poppa_Mo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

There's def some dickhead up there with a sniper.

[–] e8CArkcAuLE@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

[–] viral.vegabond@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm about to call in a nuke

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago
