![]() The mission is crucial to the story and the upcoming events that lead to the attack on U.S. I can see how it can be shocking and I compare it to the ride of Call of Duty 4 where you are executed at the end in providing a visceral and potentially disturbing portrayal of what does happen out there in times of war. To me, it wasn't anything as bad as what you see in movies or perhaps in Grand Theft Auto IV or Saints Row 2 but you do see it in the eyes of one of the "terrorists" (Those that have played the game know why I put this in quotes). In reality, you could go through the entire mission without firing a single shot at a civilian and maybe the cops that come after you. Now, my first pass through I didn't find the mission offensive or really anything to get up in arms with. Infinity Ward does give you the ability to skip this controversial mission should you choose to do so, which I think is a good decision. I guess no review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be complete without the mentioning of the "No Russian" mission. Don't get me wrong, they are still fun to experience but it didn't feel like it had the lasting impression that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare had on me the first time I played through the game. As one who has played every single Infinity Ward game multiple times, they stick to their tried and true formula, but I feel maybe it's starting to get a little old. Some of the firefights are really intense and you won't be on the offensive all the time as some areas have you running which is your best and only option. It's an effective way to tell the story and offers up a nice change of pace between scenes. The campaign cycles through scenes from various characters so you aren't controlling one single protagonist again. ![]() You get fast paced chased sequences, a visually impressive rail shooting sequence, and various moments of tension using some Hollywood techniques such as slow-motion action and being saved just before you fall to your demise. The staples of Infinity Ward's good presentation skills of intense action and drama are all here. If I was playing on the PC, I would definitely have it finished in a quick half a night's sitting. The campaign is short and I mean really short. as well as using fast food restaurants as bases of operation. How it happens is a bit of a stretch but it does feel different when you are running through houses and yards in the U.S. You see many FPS war games take place on foreign lands but those that have attacks on major U.S. I did like the little twist it took about 3/4 of the way through and the fact that a good portion of the game takes place on U.S. As presented, the story for Modern Warfare 2 and how everything comes together is pretty farfetched though and why the Russians decide to attack the United States later on. ![]() Soap's now in Captain Price's role for a few mission and leads you through a few encounters. You won't be playing Soap MacTavish in this one though, well not initially. The beginning of the game even has scenes from the previous Modern Warfare to jog your memory on a few things. Vladimir Makarov is now the antagonist in the game and he's a former lieutenant of the villain in Modern Warfare. The story of Modern Warfare 2 takes place five years after the end of Modern Warfare. Well, Infinity Ward's looking to top what they did in Modern Warfare with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 so is it a worthy to successor to one of the best first person shooters out there? In fact, all of the Infinity Ward games have been some of the best gaming I've had on the PC for a long time. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was such a great game for me. ![]()

Mobility! As I mentioned above, the absence of a scab means you’ll be able to bend your knees, elbows and fingers without worrying about ripping off your scab. As long as the dressing is used until the skin has finished healing, scarring will be minimal. Prevents scarring! No scab often means no scarring because there is no chance of a scab falling off prematurely. Using a moist dressing prevents the formation of a scab but still protects the wound so it can repair itself. Unfortunately, scabs on joints are highly inconvenient because they often tear off prematurely due to movement of the joint, leaving the new skin susceptible to re-injury and infection. Congealed blood platelets and fibrin act as a protective barrier to the new skin cells forming beneath. Scabs won’t form! The formation of a scab is the body’s form of a bandage over the wound site. moist and vitamin rich) will ensure the wound heals more quickly.

Matt took a tumble this weekend! Not too bad of a scrape. ![]() While typically used for large chest or abdominal wounds, they are being used increasingly frequently for smaller superficial injuries (like mine).

Insect bites, wound cleansing, even reducing the size of your pores! New skin is forming, and I rollerskied all weekend without fear of cracking scabs by bending my knees. Then I switched to the Manuka honey and non-adherent pads, which has been working great! I put the honey on the pad and the use medical tape to secure the bandage to my knee. The witch hazel astringent cleaned and moisturized the cuts (it’s alcohol-free and has Aloe Vera extract). This worked well for when the wounds were still leaking…ugh. For the first few days, I used the Tegaderm bandages with Polysporin. After doing a bit of research, I bought some Tegaderm bandages, Manuka honey, an alcohol free witch hazel astringent and some non-adherent sterile pads. Fearing the pain and immobility of scabs on my body’s biggest joints, I sought remedies which would keep the cuts saturated in antibacterial ointments and moist so they can heal without drying out and stiffening up. I took the advice and ran with it (literally!). Manuka honey - tastes great, and it works! This new-school approach to wound management has been strongly favoured in sports medicine.
