That video gave me the temptation to go install Arma 2 again.

Oh the fun times I had on that game. But laggy on my PC.

This is the original Hard. Nintendo Hard. What's wrong with bringing back Nintendo Hard?

Campaign was amazing, and the plot was riveting--a plot doesn't have to contain as many (bad) twists as an M Night Shamamamalan film. It was gritty, it was dark, it was just plausible enough to be believable, but just unbelievable enough to be worth paying attention to.

Missing my point. I am talking about everyone's anti-Call of Duty attitude.

You can just opt not to buy anything Call of Duty if you don't like the franchise. You're not exactly a rogue or a nonconformist when you say "I hate Call of Duty!!!"

No it isn't the original hard, the original hard was about getting your jumps just right, timing everything perfectly. Super meat boy is the original hard.
Call of Duty is the: Have luck and make it through hard, because you cannot plan stuff out. One very good example is the scene where you exit a tunnel and have to kick the napalm barrels down hill to stop enemy reinforcements. This was not nintendo hard, this was run-gun-die-try-again hard.
I really don't hate CoD because of the huge publicity it gets or because I myself like battlefield a lot more. I hate CoD because they went too commercial, the game is too linear, too much of a movie, but it just can't pull of the epicness of a good film. It doesn't do it all. While mass effect, which has a ingenious story does pull it of, just by still being epic, but not trying to give you an "unexpected" adrenaline boost every 10 seconds.

And if you really never saw any of the plot twists going, I suggest you look into some of the other media, like films and books. Because the things they are trying to get away with are either plain bad or as foreseeable as they could have been. And just in case you didn't get it, there is always an NPC explaining the situation in plain English.


On topic; This is one truly great way of advertising your game.

I didn't say I was astounded by the obvious twists and turns. I just said there's more to plot than being surprised by everything that happens. I'm not going to re-write what I said, but there's more to a film than trying to imitate Signs or Sixth Sense.

And on the scope of Nintendo Hard, how is this much different? Your PC must be in the right place, at the right time, making the right decisions about who to shoot first, what to shoot them with, and maintain your situational awareness all while keeping the crosshairs on target.

You want a game that you can sit down and be all tactical? Go buy Rainbow SIx. You're tryin to make COD something its not. The Call of Duty franchise is popular because its run and gun. ♥♥♥♥, these guys made rail shooters FUN again (starting with the AC-130 mission in MW1).

You're just hating to hate, and you aren't going to be convinced otherwise. If you aren't a fan, you aren't a fan. Don't play the game, and don't give it any more notoriety than it needs by trying to espouse some kind of counter-gaming-culture mentality that FPS games like COD are too plebeian or that they "sold out."

I have played both MW2 and ArmA2 and for my personal taste I like ArmA2 more.
MW2 just feels like you are running in a tube and shooting people outside it while some NPC's are shouting a plot at you.

Ha ha so true, CoD is overrated piece of crap.
ArmA2 is more superior by a long leap, and is much more fun to play with buddies, even watching some team play together is freaking cool unlike CoD wheres everyone running in different directions and shooting to even more directions. For this kind of gameplay i'll play unreal tournament instead. Damn it just looks so silly when they try to simulat' modern combat and all they comeup with is some stupid berserker psycho soldiers charging head to head screaming banzai.

Well you kinda can't compare them 'cause they are from different sections of FPS gaming.
But still, MW2 is kinda ridiculous IMO. And the multiplayer is horrible.

Little people does care about this nowadays, pretty much every game not just ArmA video on you tube have CoD fanboys saying that its better.
I'll probably stop right here, bofere its gets out of hands...

I'm guessing you don't know anyone that's served actived, deployed duty in the military.

I've enjoyed every one of the "modern" call of dutys. I agree that I liked MW1 more than MW2 and blops. I don't agree with calling it a bad game. The run and gun over the top action is what makes it great. The small slightly interactive cutscenes are also great, even if a bit forced. I only ran into like 3 places in the blops campaign where the luck element was vital to succeeding. Those were all annoying, but the fact that it was less than 10 minutes out of a 6-7 hour experience makes it negligible

p3l. Please stop being so reasonable. I find it extremely hard to disagree with you.

And yeah, I thought MW2 was great, and have spent quite a good amount of time playing it. And though I haven't got Blops yet, I'm eagerly awaiting for it to become available down here in South America. On the PC, I mean.

I still occasionally play CoD4 multiplayer because it is just so fun when you find a good server.
I did try WaW and MW2 multiplayer but liked neither. CoD4 just rocks.
ATM I don't play much FPS games except ArmA2 with ACE 1.3.

The main reason I didn't like the Black Ops campaign was the fact that it seemed like there was very little variety. It was just constant over the top action mixed in with a scripted action every 10 seconds. The ultralinear gameplay combined with the lack of any sort of juxtaposition really killed it for me. Multiplayer's fine, nothing exceptional, but at the moment I really only play Black Ops for Zombies; if I want to play an online shooter, I'm probably going to be playing BFBC2.

Or, alternatively, the Killzone 3 beta. ♥♥♥♥ yes.

Actually i do know, and what are you trying to say, is it that running and guning in the open without using any cover is a good tactics in real life ?

Clearly you aren't playing the game right, and maybe this is why it is too difficult for you. It's okay, though. There are still plenty of Unreal Tournament servers active. People still play Day of Defeat a lot, to

I'm sure you can find something that meets your competency level.
