Intro: For my Cultural Hypertext I will be looking at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the Xbox 360 and looking at how the game has its own online culture that is its own community of gamers and how they interact with each other within the community space. On the surface, seeing people play online is just a bunch of people running and gunning each other down, but within this space are a set of unspoken guidelines that people play by, just as there are unspoken rules that people behave by in the physical world. In explaining this culture I will discuss what an internet culture is, the types of people who interact in this game space, how the players interact with each other, terms used within this online space and also my own personal experience within this particular game space.
