It's Fifty!
50 Cent is no stranger to video games, after all, he has starred in two of his own. He'll be back this fall in what will surely be one of the biggest titles of the year in Modern Warfare 2.
50 Cent visited Infinity Ward, developer to Modern Warfare, and it was later revealed that the rapper will be "one of the squad voices in Multiplayer / Spec Ops," and it seems he won't be the only one.
Robert Bowling, Infinity Ward's director of communications, told Kotaku that 50 Cent is just one of the many casual voice cameos that'll appear in Modern Warfare 2.
Any guesses at who would be the other ones? My bets are on Carrot Top.

Can we get some real heros from Iraq/Afghanistan to voice this instead of wana-be gangsters?
Hope it's voice over only.
man that was close, it's just voice 'acting'! for a second i thought they meant he was gonna be featured in the game as a character......that would have killed it for sure.
I heard that Gilbert Godfrey will take over the voice of Capt. Price.
Dear God why...? I dislike cheap gimmicks like this, Modern Warfare doesnt need this...
I am glad I did not preorder this. Infinity Ward lost a faithful customer for this title.
People will complain about anything, IW is using someone's voice who they dislike and now the game is awful. The game is going to be awesome and I bet that if they had not mentioned this you wouldnt have had two thoughts about who's voices are being used in game.
kaby, your stupid. Disliking a game because of this? yeah your one of those people that overboard for everything. grow up
hovaucf: if it's anything like the annoying voices in BF2.. they'll just disable it anyway... that constant chatter annoyed the hell out of me... tho i'm the type that disables all music and extraneous noises anyway... just the noise that's pertinent to the battle. can't hear someone creeping up on me with some douche yelling, 'give in to the swarm!'
oh.. and come on.. how many of you haters wouldn't have welcomed a chance to send 50 to the digital grave repeatedly? i would have relished in finding new and more horrific ways of dismembering him!
Woopy doo. Everyone has to make a fuss about a famous rapper doing a professional voice acting job.
This will make me NOT buy the game.
I was hoping he would have an actual character that would pop out at one point of the game and you blow his ass away with a grenade launcher. That would be one sweet easter egg.
"Pew Pew Pew, Die Kanye!"
Um, do you fucktards realize that you are bashing a multi-million dollar icon? I smell the faint odor of assholes and jealousy. Besides, he's a pretty good actor. Get over it.

"50 Cent is just one of the many casual VOICE cameos." shortest article ever and all you read was the title.

hehe... his monetary worth makes him something more than normal? hell, paris hilton is worth far more and i doubt anyone would argue that she's a 'good actor' or much of anything else other than a spoiled brat.

I personally hate the man and everything he stands for. Woo, a wannabe criminal who can put up a generic beat with lyrics an 8 year old could write, with excessive use of cussing, and derogatory terms, that helps re-enforce stereotypes, embarrasses his entire race, while re-enforcing negativity. I hear 50 cent, and the first thing I think is "fuck that asshole." I guess "Icon" doesn't mean much nowadays. He's good at marketing TRASH.
If they are using 50 already, I guess no harm done really, its just a little annoying. I prefer giving no-name actors a little break rather than enlisting pieces of shit nobody likes.
Do we care? Can anyone out there actually recognise the 'Voice Of 50 Cent'? Unless they have a flashing neon '50 Cent Now Speaking' banner everytime his voice is used i'm not going to have a clue.

You can't compare 50 cent and Paris...thats just not right. He may acutally be richer than Paris...but even so i admire the fact that he is a smart business man. He is making money in so many other avenues that many rappers ignore. If you read about him a some you might be surprised at how smart he really is...
Before someone dings my comment, no i'm not a fan of 50 and not defending him or anything. I just know some facts about him...

I'm sure real soldiers would love to relive saying the lines they actually used while on the battlefield. Brings back fond memories, does it not?
I bet, if this detail about the game wasn't publicized, majority of people wouldn't even know by whom the voice act was done. I, for one, don't care about who does voice acting or which human models are used in the game. Let's not prejudge the game just on this news alone.
God... someone throw Patrick Stewart in there please , maybe that will balance out the fact that fity-scent is in there. (50-cent spelled wrong on purpose)

mlopinto2k1 Please stop talking/posting/breathing...Ya just because he is an 'icon' doesn’t mean anything, he is still trash, a progenitor of bad stereotypes and really...no real talent. He is a perfect picture of what is wrong with the US today.

LOL, money can't buy everything like a good personality or a brain.

eh.. you're overlooking the point... wot does his monetary worth have to do with him being an 'icon'... marketing can sell anything to anyone in a big enough volume to make someone rich... does that make them an 'icon'?
50 does more damage to the english language than dubya did and i wonder if people that think he's a 'great rapper' think he is from all his hits since they're mostly all dance and pop songs... In Da Club is just him repeating the same chorus verse over and over again and it was one of his biggest hits... what does that say about his 'rapping ability'?
at either rate... what does his 'skill' as a rapper or monetary worth have to do with being used in a war game? how does his voice being used help this game at all?
Not really a 50 cent fan, but one thing he isn't is a 'wannabe gangster". The man's been shot multiple times.
Anyhow, this has no real bearing on the game other than you will hear 50s gritty voice every once in a while, and you might not have notice if it wasn't for reading this.
Yo dawg, I put a bullet in your bullet, so you pwn while you pwn!
so has plaxico burress... is he a gangster too?
i think you loose all legitimacy, as a gangster, when you decide to be an entertainer... even if you try to live out the life you had before, you'll end up selling out sometime... the idea that these 'rappers' have to portray themselves as thugs or outlaws to sell records goes to show their listening demographic don't have a lot of brain cells worth being proud of..
The fact Its only his voice, a lot of you are over hauling it. His music is great, i could care less if he killed someone. Not my problem. Like everyone has said, if they had not mentioned this most likely no one, not even myself who actually likes 50 cents music would be able to pick up the fact that it was 50 cents voice. And no one wants a bunch of stupid asses from Iraq or Afghanistan to do voices in a video game. They all would not meet the requirements to be a voice over in a game for a character. Enough said.
Bad Idea! I hate him as a person.
