1. Thats your opinion and I accept that. But its wrong :Igodfather1 said:
2. The storyline has twists, betrayal, happiness, sadness, anger, joy, relief. Everything a good story needs.
3. Saying that it makes violence seem fun is stupid. So does every other combat based game. Even Simpsons hit and run makes violence seem fun! Saying CoD does it so its a bad game is just a terrible hater comment.

Yes, but in Simpsons hit-and-run it is comical violence, not war violence. In other war games, it at least doesn't treat the violence lightly. And it's not a hater comment to say it makes violence seem fun. No need to get harsh...
Also, it may have what a good storyline needs, but does it actually use it in an original, non-cliche way in each and every game? Nope.
Also, that's just stupid to say someone else's opinion is wrong. Opinion cannot be proven right or wrong.

Let me re-word that... they feel emotion for each other's death, but they don't show it like a normal human does. They pay them honor, then keep fighting. If it's a real human with real emotions that aren't genetically engineered, then they will actually grieve the loss of their close friends in combat, although they may still keep fighting, or they may cower by their dead body while their fellow soldiers rain fire on the enemy.

As I said, it's the warrior's mindset that's something not so accurately put into words.
They do show their grief, albiet in a subtle way.
and it's not because they're "genetically modified", actually the Spartan's genetics are left alone, they're just physically augmented through muscle graphs, bone graphs, neural stimulation, and capillary augmentation within the eyes.
It's a mixture of the training they've been through and their years of field experience. Any member of a real-life military can agree that a fallen friend is no call for a person to lose track of their emotions. You pay respects later, and their memory may plague you for years afterwords. But in that moment on the field, there is still a battle to be fought, and you can't afford to be distracted for even a second.
I've only seen one instance in which a soldier has completely broke down because of a fallen friend, but that was a single emotional man amongst a silent group of soldiers, each of which knowing the pain the man was feeling, but remaining calm in the face of danger.
And, honestly, in that respects a true soldier or warrior is not a "normal" human being. For they've experienced horrors that no "normal" person can, and their psyches and emotions suffer because of it.

O.O Wow, do you know someone who's in the military or something?
You've really got me there...
Also, there's not really such thing - in terms of emotion - as a normal human. Everybody is different emotionally. Some people just have an emotion set that suits them to handle the horrors of war better than others.
Anyways, I'm not dissing Halo here. Believe me, I love Halo. I think it's an incredible series with a great storyline and great gameplay. I just think it can't tap into your emotional vein as well as some modern-warfare games (not CoD:MW, just games involving warfare in modern-era).

I completely agree that the Halo games don't do the storyline justice, but I was only saying that the implications of such a noble act are something admirable to a melancholy extent :3
And yes, my whole family history has been based in the military or war somehow. I've got a lieutenant Dan thing going on >.>

Ok, so I haven't played any of these other games, so I can only speak about the Ace Combat series (I also have no inention about argueing the best/worst deaths, I only wish to speak my part on the title of the thread).
Chopper's death was incredibly emotional to me. I remember thinking "They're not going to kill him. They CAN'T kill Chopper. He's... Chopper. He's the comic relief. They wouldn't kill the comic relief."
I give props to the game designers and story writers for how sad they could make a character's death where you don't even see their face (or was there a profile pic earlier in the game? eh). I was 17 when I played the game. Back then the emotion was in the character's actual death significance to the plot line (then he got replaced with that Archer guy and I was all like "who are you? Get out. You can't take Chopper's place.").
His death was such a turning point, too. They not only killed Chopper, but they killed the comic relief, and in doing that, killed the humor in the game. Everything became much more serious after his death. It was well-placed within the storyline, and really gave to the plot.
That's it!
That's all I want to say!

I personally think CoD is pretty good, but not fantastic.
Saddest mission in gaming history? The ending of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2, the closest i've ever come to crying at any sort of story (next best was Marley and Me, the book not the film, I read it before it was cool). PMD's music has always been exceptional at playing with emotions and it hits you with an absolute bomb here. Losing Grovyle was bad, but after beating Dialga, you start to disappear, the sad music starts, your partner notices, gets upset, and the last thing your partner sees is you vanishing, before collapsing to the floor in agonising greif.
I know there are Pokemon haters out there, I hope they are open enough to actually watch the videos before commenting.

Well if people are posting videos, then I should do the same..Saddest mission in gaming history...
Evil ending in Infamous 2...
Not giving spoilers, they might ruin someone's gameplay.

Why did I not think of that *Facepalm* but yeah Infamous 2 evil ending... made me CTRL QQ
I agree 100 percent. My partner's crying gets to me every time. Those games were amazing, and pretty much every storyline made me shed manly tears of manliness. I find it weird how all of the main characters in the game were some of my favorite pokémon to begin with... particularly grovyle and dusknoir. The special mission with the two in Exploer's of Sky was awesome.
.....I'm gonna go cry now and play the whole game through again...
I actually thought that the ending was cute... But I guess I just thought that everything in that game was cute. :I

Note: Please, please, please, do not watch if you do not want spoilers for this game.
Other than that, this is definitely the saddest moment I've found in a game... When I was playing, I took about 10 minutes deciding what to do, and when I made my choice, I was simply shocked. This may not seem too bad to those who have not played the game, nor the series for that matter, but to those who love the trilogy, and the characters, this is one of the saddest and surprising things that happened, at least for me. Especially when I realized that if you had all the requirements, you could save both.

Not really that sad for me. I had no qualms about killing her off, though Not-Legion's death shook me a little. It was Mordin's that really got to me. In the first game's final mission on Virmire, I tried reasoning with Wrex instead of being aggressive. Needless to say, I did everything within my power to make sure Ashley died on the suicide mission...
