    I have a hard time believing it is as.bad as the reviews indicate. I am sure it is nothing special but nowhere near this bad.

    Probably not, but not good enough for me to purchase. Would have gotten it with some solid reviews.

    I am not getting it either.

    But if it was a CoD game they would be praising the same things they are complaining about.

  • The thing I hate about COD is not really the games but the fans. I would say half the people I know that own a console only play COD and nothing else. I just do not get it. I am going to get Black Ops 2 mainly because I love zombie mode but I am much more looking forward to Assassins Creed 3 and Halo 4. I had some of my friends ask me about some games about a year ago and I told them to try Red Dead Redemption and they did and said it was ok but COD was way better. I like the games ok but the fans get on my nerves.

    Could not agree more and I think that is what makes me hate CoD so much.

    It would be like someone watching the Godfather and then afterwards saying that Transformers was.better.

    I've definitely played my share of COD over the years and it could be entertaining, but I think the precedent they've set is an insult to the gaming community. With as much money as they make on this game, they should put a lot more back into the franchise instead of each iteration being a glorified map pack.

    They used to. Back in the WWII FPS days and up until CoD4 they weren't just some rehashed-trash developer. While Medal of Honor lead the charge and BF1942 brought the MP, the set pieces and cinematic elements CoD brought to the party were unprecedented. It was awesome really. I still remember when the first demo for the original CoD came out. I must have played through it at least 50 times. The good ol' days, I must say.

    I didn't mean to imply that they never invested in their own product, but that is what it has become.

    Oh, I wasn't saying you were. I was just saying that we all know they USED to actually be all about some good things in the FPS biz. Sucks that they changed.

    CoD 4 really was amazing. When that game came out it really did move the genre forward. Unfortunately since then they have barely changed the formula. Maybe CoD 4 was to successful because since then Activision has not let the developers change much of that formula.

    We should take tBB to COD4 one night and see how we do.

    I would probably get annihilated. I haven't played any CoD title in a few years. The auto aim would take some getting used to.

    On a side not screw G4. Channel is now worthless.

    Attack of the Show and X-Play Cancelled by G4 - IGN

    As G4 undergoes a rebranding they are ending their two long-running programs Attack of the Show and X-Play.

    I hope then enjoy alienating the entire fan base that they do have for an entire rebranding from scratch.

    Also, this makes me think of the movie Airheads, when the rock station gets re-branded to easy-listening.

    lol Yep. I will refuse to watch this channel now.

  • What exactly was wrong with geek-friendly TV? Oh, and watch, they'll bring back a second station that focuses on geek-friendly topics and call it G4-2 or something, kind of like how the History channel started doing all of these non-History related shows and then made History 2 so they could bring back those old shows they built the station on.

    Instead of, you know, keeping the station doing what it was created to do (here, show tech and game related programs) and make a NEW station to do all that new stuff you want to try. Hey, you don't even have to worry about as much new branding!

    God network execs are dumb. All of them, they're dumb.

  • COD has become a social event for people. I like the games but the only reason I choose to play COD over Halo, Gears, Killzone, etc is because I want to play with my friends and I do play the other three games more than I do COD. I don't hate the developers as much as some do. I can understand why they do not want to change it too much when it sells at record breaking numbers. It is just good business on the part of Activision to do this. What bugs me is people who won't try anything else. My brother in law bought a 360 just to play COD with friends. He doesn't even bother to download free demos and try new things. My wifes friends husband has a PS3 and only plays COD. IMO it is just a waste of a console to play only one game.

    Do not even get me started on movies because the majority of world probably really thinks that Transformers is better than the Godfather. It is sad.

  • So there I was... 3 outs away from my first perfect game in MLB The Show. The fans were on their feet, and they were extra happy because I had a bobble head promotion for the first 10,000 fans. Josh Johnson has all of the attention on the mound. Score is 3-0 Reds over the Giants. 3-2 count, so he had to come in with a fastball to avoid a walk as he was pretty tired from the long day.

    Fastball thrown to Jose Reyes is drilled to right center for a double. Perfect game gone, Josh Johnson's hopes shattered, and my dreams lying on the floor of my 3 bedroom 2 bath house. The only thing to do now is turn it off and go to the bar. What a game it was, folks.

    That happened to me with my pitcher in RTTS. Had a Perfect game with 1 out left. Walk a batter on a BS ball call, then the next batter gets an infield single. I was furious.

  • I downloaded it but never played it. Was trying to get as much Borderlands in as possible before AC.

    Really wanted the Skullmasher yesterday. No such luck.
