You have never seen this cut ending of Contingency

- I posted a video about this restored ending of Contingency a short while back in speedrun form. Thought I'd make a small informational video on it and showcase it. I also give some insight on how the code and the end of the mission was supposed to function.
This mission has entirely been restored with the limitations of the existing gamefiles and partially modified by myself to be playable as a full level without cheats like noclip and god.

I did forget to mention that most of these assets were later repurposed for MW3 on the mission "Hunter Killer".
wait so the Sub if complete in the normal game?
@@TerrorOmnibus The submarine is indeed complete in the normal game. They removed the ladder and added a death barrier in order to deny the player entry. I restored and fixed the old code so there is a ladder, you don't get killed by the barrier and so the objectives work.
@@Surviv0r I KNEW IT! cause as a teen i tried many times getting in there cause i knew i saw the sub had an interior and wasnt just a black pit like most games would do
It always did feel kinda strange how Price goes in alone while the whole team sits up on a rooftop. This makes so much more sense, thank you for posting it!
One small detail people miss is how Price at the beginning asks Soap for transport, but the transport never shows up. In this version of Contingency, Soap looking for transport makes sense.
And thank you for watching!
@@Surviv0r isn’t supposed for soap to be wounded in this mission after the gulag ? Or where does soap stays during the mission ?
Come to think of it, this would've actually made the betrayal of Shepherd make much more sense, given that Roach would've been just as accountable as Price was in disrupting the Battle of Washington DC. Roach's usual silence also leaves it open to interpretation, whether Price was fully accountable for Roach's death or if Roach knew the risks as much as Price did.
The thing is. Both Shepherd and Makharov are butthurt ultranationalists that wants their respectivr countries regains the glories lost. Both sees a result of a conflict between their nations to gain said glory, and so both coopaerated to begin WW3. Gambling on their respective country to win
If I had to guess why they stopped short of keeping this ending, my top guess is it's not as cinematic as a desperate hold out using the drone and the elevated position. This ending also makes the nuke launch less cryptic, which was the turning point of the entire campaign. This fit's with Infinity Ward's theme throughout the game, by being kind of cryptic with key plot points. It's not spoon fed to the player. The information is there but it's almost like a poem or riddle. You have to think a bit. I didn't understand Shepard's betrayal on my first playthrough. I also didn't understand why Allen was sent on a mission to massacre civilians in Moscow, even in later playthroughs. I always viewed it as just an edgy clickbait mission. So making the nuke launch more of a WTF moment fit's with Infinity Ward's other plot devices.
Other potential reasons could be lack of time to properly implement the sub interior. Maybe the mapping of the sub wasn't finished in time, but they could easily just add the tower defense part. Maybe having the player fire off a nuke was some kind of taboo line they weren't willing to cross for some reason. I don't think this holds much water though because the mission No Russian exists. The developers were clearly fine with edgy, boundary pushing missions.
But what the hell do I know, I'm just some dude who didn't figure out the plot threads of MW2 until he was much older.
This seems like it was very well thought about. I agree with your statement about this being less cryptic. Not being able to see in the final release does make the climax (aka launching the nukes) have way more weight behind it.
The opening mission of mw3 has a section on a submarine just like this almost, so it's not hard to imagine that they mightve just reused the assets to put in mw3
@@reapordeath not the opening mission.
I love these "shorts" types of videos. Keep it up
I'll most likely keep posting things like these when I have an idea for one. On the other hand, I'd love to work on longer videos about the speedrun aspect of these games
Price probably wanted to go alone to guarantee his teammates won’t stop him from launching the Nuke over Washington DC. Just my theory
I believe that it was due to lack of time. Many things were scraped in MW2. I believe that if they had more time to work on the game, then they would have added more scenes and details to it.
Inside the sub in MW2 was very empty until they fully polished it in MW3.
So cool. Thanks for putting in the time and energy to share this!
No problem mate! Glad you enjoyed it :)
I guess they changed this so the player could also be as surprised as Ghost.
It sounds kinda dumb but it's the best I could think of story writing wise. lol
This makes sense to me, much like the other long reply which mentioned that it wouldn't be "as cryptic".
@@Surviv0r how did you got the alternative ending
@@pindol69 also curious what code you altered
I remember when I played this mission years ago and I went to see if I could go in the sub as well ( I fall down and die instantly) but I remember the inside of the sub and it looked like the same in this video, anyway long story short, I thought to myself “was I able to go in there at some point?”, and I see the answer was yes
Ahh same
I ventured down the hatch several years ago as well, back on my trusty old PS3. The amount of disappointment was massive when I find out you could not follow Price.
@@Surviv0r Yo I had a ps3 as well lol
@@Surviv0r but yeah I was disappointed as well 😔
They probably scrapped it so they could put the player in a cinematic position to watch the nukes
This is so cool, crazy finding out new things about a 13 year old game!
This was certainly a really fun project to finish! It goes to show how much work the developers put into their games even back then.
I remember in this mission when I was younger I would try to go down the ladder without dying I would get so made everytime I died😂
That's a mood
soap pulling up in that car hahah
Yes I have, many many people have. This is commonly known in the modding community.
dude likes playing his games thru a fisheye lenses
I love this mission and music 🎵
hey dude you have some game in your fov
I approve this message.
I have seen this! But...not the green smoke...that is...huh
interesting stuff
I'm still shocked at the amount of work they put into scripting. Only after it was basically finished did they go "Oh, this ending is kind of bad".
what is the point of messing with that FOV? just messes the game up..
I get motion sickness at 65 FOV :/ 110 just felt better for me
Great Video.
Thank you!
Cool
Cooler
How did you did this?
price what have you done?
Is this a mod?
Is there a way to download that mod?
I've released it to a select few. If interested, DM me on Discord! Tag is Surviv0r#0001
I have actually
Don't lie
i think for the time making a player launch a nuke on war context was a pretty shit idea
don’t be silly, normies don’t know the names of ILs
Gotta have faith, y'know?
