He was given regular beatings and forced to eat meals on his own. Relations between the two deteriorated so that Dully grew up in an atmosphere of emotional abuse and casual neglect. His mother died of cancer when he was five and his father, Rodney, later remarried to a 'cold and demanding' woman called Lou, who found her new stepson's natural ebullience and physical strength almost impossible to control. If Dully appeared superficially vacant or mildly aggressive, there were some obvious explanations. More disturbingly, there seemed to have been no obvious necessity for the operation. He had undergone a lobotomy and no one, not his parents, not the medical community or the state authorities, had intervened to stop it. What he didn't know was that he had been subjected to one of the most brutal surgical procedures in medical history. 'I was like a zombie I had no awareness of what Freeman had done.' He recalls a severe pain in his head and the discomfort of his hospital gown, which gaped open at the back. When Dully woke the next day, his eyes were swollen and bruised and he was running a high fever. At 1.30pm on 16 December 1960, he was wheeled into an operating theatre and given a series of electric shocks to sedate him. Barely two months after this first meeting, his father and stepmother had him admitted to a private hospital in his home town of San Jose, California. He was an average child, perhaps a little unruly but nothing that would strike one as exceptional for a boy of his age.īut Howard Dully would soon become exceptional for all the wrong reasons. According to Dr Freeman's meticulous records, Dully was 62 inches tall and weighed 6½ stone. He had a weekly paper round and was saving up to buy a record player. He occasionally fought with his brother, disobeyed his parents and stole sweets from the kitchen cupboards. I had no idea what he was going to do with me.'ĭully was a withdrawn boy who liked riding his bicycle and playing chess. 'He was warm, personable and easy to get along with. 'It made him look a little like a beatnik,' Dully says. Instead, with a child's eye, he noticed the small physical quirks - the round-rimmed glasses, the dapper suit, the well-trimmed goatee. He was 11 at the time and paid little attention to the mysterious adult world that surrounded him, to the decisions taken without his knowledge or to the profound impact that Dr Walter Freeman would have on his pre-adolescent existence. Additionally, if the "Green Beret" Intel Cheat is enabled, the player is able to use an Ice Axe as a melee weapon for the whole mission, replacing the CQB Bayonet from other levels.When Howard Dully met the man who was to change his life for ever, he was not sure what to make of him. A special melee animation will play, which involves Roach taking down the two guards simultaneously. In Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, it is possible to use the ice axes to take down the first two enemies in the Cliffhanger mission. Pressing the melee button will swing both at the same time. The player can, however, still melee with them if they press the attack button while not climbing. Ice axes act like a dual-wielding melee weapon, but the player is never given a chance to kill anyone with them in the original MW2. If they are low enough, they will just fall back onto the ledge. If the player holds on to the ice for too long, it will eventually break up and they will fall. "Hold on for dear life!" will be shown on the screen instead of the usual random quote. If the player doesn't hold on to the wall in " Cliffhanger", on any difficulty, they will fall and die. Afterwards, Roach will automatically take out his Silenced ACR with Heartbeat Sensor and Red Dot Sight attachments losing the ability to use the ice axe in the process. However, in "Cliffhanger", the player will only be able to use them in the beginning. An ice axe is also used by Captain "Soap" MacTavish to kill an enemy soldier on a snowmobile. Captain John "Soap" MacTavish and Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson each use two ice axes in the level " Cliffhanger" to scale their way up the icy mountain to the hidden base this mission takes place in.
