Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Call of Duty 4 Arabic Mixup

Submitted by Midnight on Sat, 07/05/2008 - 7:28pm.

I was playing COD4 tonight and spawned in Ambush. As I ran forward I noticed an Arabic sign in front of me, but it didn't look right. Upon closer inspection I realized that the characters were written from left to right like western characters. Arabic is written from right to left. I thought that peculiar so I started imagining a mirror image of the text and verbalizing what it said, just in case it contained a word I recognized. Well, it did.

In-fii-na-ya-ti-ya Wa-r-d

Looks like some blogs have covered the COD4 Arabic mishaps before, but this was news to me. Interesting easter egg (or screw-up), Infinity Ward.
