TheCall of Dutyseries is usually conceptualized with the image of a traditional controller or mouse and keyboard in hand when playing through its blisteringsingle-player campaignor breakneck multiplayer. However, one YouTuber found a way to play 2019’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfarewith the iconic DK Bongos peripheral.
Released over a decade ago, theDK Bongoswere a peripheral that players used for Donkey Kong-themed rhythm gamesDonkey Konga,Donkey Konga 2, andDonkey Konga 3, as well as platformerDonkey Kong Jungle Beat.Far from a traditional controller, players could hit either bongo and either side of the bongo according to the game’s controls. There is also a center button in between the bongos, and the peripheral has the ability to detect clapping. While it’s hard to imagine using this controller for anything but rhythm games and the DK Bongos-tailored platformer featuring Donkey Kong, one YouTuber was able to use them to playCall of Duty: Modern Warfare.

As can be seen above, the DK Bongos aren’t the most user-friendly controller forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, Super Louis 64 offers a brief explanation of what each function of the DK Bongos does. While the left bongo controls player movement, the right bongo controls aiming. Pressing both bongos simultaneously allows the player to aim up or down. The start button triggers the weapon and clapping causes the toss of a grenade.
Super Louis 64 notes that the bongos don’t support the ability to sprint, reload, swap weapons, or aim down the sights. Further, throughout the video, Super Louis 64 appears visibly frustrated but gives himself challenges, such as seeing if he could win a game in the game’s multiplayer, themost played of anyCall of Dutythis generation, using the DK Bongos.
Overall, the video is quite humorous in Super Louis 64’s use of a controller as silly-looking as the DK Bongos to play a game as gritty asCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. Similar things have been done before, such as whenthe DK Bongos were used to beatSekiro: Shadows Die Twice. However, the comedic value never seems to get old.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
