Talk:Call of Juarez: The Cartel

MAC-10

I just checked the the official website of this game and he is definitely holding a suppressed Steyr TMP and not a MAC-10. - SmithandWesson36

How many games have featured Ciudad Juarez, Mexico now?

Back in the days of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 which featured that city as a terrorist hotspot, supposedly the Mayor of Ciudad Juarez at the time claimed it was going to scare tourists away from that city (which is kind of funny given what's going on there now). José Reyes of Chihuahua (a state in Mexico) also called for the game's banning in Mexico.

I can't help but wonder if this game will stir up controversy again. Still, I think Mexico's past the stage now where they can try to pretend that a negative fictional portrayal of their cities or other locations in their country will actually be far worse than what's happening there now . . . --Mazryonh 02:19, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I remember that about GRAW. The governor of Chihuahua ordered the game seized by authorities if sold on Mexican soil. They really do need to be more concerned with the reality of the country rather than some game company's fiction set in it. Spartan198 22:03, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

Unknown Pistol and AK

I found a bigger picture through Google, and I believe it's a Beretta M9, or some variant. It looks like the AK is either an AK-74, or an AKM. - User:1morey, February 13, 2011 9:20 AM (EST).

That AK variant has to be an AK-47; it has a milled receiver and lacks a slanted compensator. -Deafmatch 15:52, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

That's milled receiver. ;) Spartan198 22:04, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

I'll just pretend that never happened. -Deafmatch 17:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

We'll keep it between you, me, and anyone who reads this page. :P Spartan198 08:39, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

controversial already

Seen multiple news articles condemning this game, just makes me want it more now.

I can see why, the original Call of Juarez-es were westerns and were pretty much the only videogame FPS-es to gain any sort of acclaim. Taking it into the present kills what was it's main selling point, although I did enjoy the second one and will probably pick it up when the price goes down. BeardedHoplite

Just a thought

I don't want to sound like a jerk but there is no such thing as a "Beretta M92FS". It is "M9" or "92FS", bus since there will be no U.S. Military in this game (probably) it should be 92FS. --bozitojugg3rn4ut 21:23, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Also on the topic of Berettas, the gun listed as a Desert Eagle is definately a two-tone Beretta 92FS ShootingLiberal 02:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Unknown sniper rifle

The PSO-1 scope on it suggests the SVD or any Dragunov derivative. --HashiriyaR32 03:05, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

It has a hooded front sight like the Type 56, could it be a NDM-86? --85.3.178.52 02:06, 5 March 2011 (MSK)

The Characters

I am a fan of the series, and while the characters do look cheesy (In an awesome/good way), I have to say, they remind me of famous celebs:

Ben McCall- The bastard child of Cordell Walker and Randy Savage.

Eddie Guerra- Ali G

Kim Evans- Halle Berry

P.S. BTW, I found out the connection of this game to the series. Ben is a descendant of Billy Candle (From the first Call of Juarez), and is the spiritual successor to Reverend Ray McCall. Sorry if this was mention on the main page. Also, the antagonist is the Mendoza Cartel, which either Juarez' Gang wasn't totally destroyed in the first two games, or they are relatives of Juarez.

I don't know about the Juarez gang but I remember I have killed Juarez in the first game at least twice, and also in the prequel. LOL bozitojugg3rn4ut 16:06, 16 March 2011 (CDT)

Same here! He must be immortal or something...--SeanWolf 16:25, 16 March 2011 (CDT)
