Photographing modern warfare

I know it's an old video game, but there are certainly moments that deserve to be remembered and captured, like for example maybe you didn't notice the atmosphere in the base, as soon as you start the tutorial, there's a soldier looking at the horizon while tasting a cigar.

Once on the front lines of the battle, I took the time to photograph some of the soldiers who were in their cover as they waited for the bridge to be cleared by the air raid.

I almost felt like a reporter or journalist capturing the war from the front row, hahahaha.

Among the alleys of this hamlet, an ambush was underway and most of the allies were deployed inside the houses.

This was an epic first-person shot in which I was picking up an enemy weapon, but because I had an empty magazine I reloaded it, at which point an exposure happened to steal the scene.

We left the warm weather of the streets of the cities and went to the temperate climate of the poles, there I managed to capture epic moments in cod xd style.

The captain of this mission apparently has a lot of experience in ice rappelling, because I fell several times trying to keep up with him hahaha, I remember falling several times down the cliff, because that game mechanic is totally new, for me, I had to use both mouse clicks to climb.

An aeroplane passed nearby and with the gust of wind blew down a step of ice.

And in a tense moment, the captain managed to save my life.

Like any mission we had to destroy the enemy base and that's what we did at the end of the day, but not before leaving a chaos, it makes me laugh how for the convenience of the script two soldiers manage to do these suicidal tasks.

I will unlock for you one of the darkest memories seen in cod, you may remember this “No Russian” mission, so called and well all the context I think is told just by seeing this picture of murdered civilians.

Obviously, I was reluctant to shoot at the civilians, but I was already there, so I just had to watch without being able to do anything about it, because at that moment it was part of a memory in the game's history.

A grotesque scene of one of the allies in the middle of an ambush, I have managed to capture all this happened in the controversial and tangled neighbourhoods of Brazil.

I want to say goodbye as always with the picture that I personally loved the most, since it is the first time I see the slums of Brazil represented so well in a video game of this type, but this is a topic that deserves more depth, since somehow I live in a country where the favelas are common and here they are well represented.
