Why does money come out on mw2 when you you die?

Answer 1

The reason money comes out of people when they die is "Payback". This is when you get killed by that person then you kill them. It is to bring a bit of humor to the game and is a play on words.

there is 3 possible answers 1. it stands for on the money(like good kill)

2. it stands for the federal bale-out

3. it stands for the money we wast on the war

the guy that wrote before me talked crap when he said it stands for on the money and all that other stuff like federal bale out and the other one on the money we spen on war. anyway it only happens when you do the payback challenge in multiplay you do this by killing the guy that just killed you

This actually happens when you kill anyone on the PC version, i am not sure about the 360 or the PS3 version though but from 1st kill i have always seen that

Im just adding on to the above answer.

It happens all the time, money comes out whenever you kill another player. As mentioned above, it starts with kill 1.

I feel it must be an attempt to increase the 'value' of killing an opponent. psychologically the idea of money bursting out surely leads to a bigger drive to come out on top.

I think its a clever way of increasing the games addictiveness and could possibly have bigger subliminal effects benefitting capitalist society (but that's beginning to look a little like a conspiracy theory;) Has no-one else made this link? really?

(another add-on) :P i think it may also be a play on the word 'payback' and the money is something to do with actually 'paying them back' as in giving them back their money?

(yet another add on) Actually i have a pretty good theory. I think it is a discreet way of censoring the game because in some foreign versions of the game there is blood and gore, not cash
