In the tray: Modern Warfare 2

Yes, I know. This blog used to exist. But hey, it's back now that I actually have a life. Yay. And the other reason I haven't blogged about this game is because I've been playing this game. Duh. Gonna keep it brief, just cause I don't wanna spend a long time blogging anymore (lost the flair for me and felt more like a chore for a while.)

Just some stuff for Single-player. The writers of the game like movies. According to the campaign, they love The Rock, The Incredible Hulk, Red Dawn, Lethal Weapon, The Dark Knight, James Bond, Fast and Furious, and a hell of a lot more. But don't feel like these guys are unoriginal. Every scene taken from a movie was done WAY better than the movie. These guys wanted big action and badass moves. I love it. It's a whole new direction in Call of Duty, and that's exactly what the franchise needs.

OMGWTFBBQ. Multi-player is sooooooooooo much better than COD4. Once you learn how to play it, you'll enjoy yourself. The new guns and attachments are infinitely better than previous installments. The assault rifles have been put on a pedastal and the rest has been marginalized a lot more, and that makes a more balanced game (sans the Akimbo '87's). I ♥ the new perks except for Scrambler (wtf), and yes i did do the ♥ for this game. It means that much to me.

Finally, on to Modern Warfare 3, which just writing makes me have a mini freakout. First off, single player: Soap and Price will still be fugitives on the run, and the only way to clear their names is to take down Makharov, who is still at large. This will make the third one even more "off the grid" ala Splinter Cell. The Rangers are headed to Moscow and won't come back till it's over over there, so be prepared for a helicopter dropping you off in Red Square eventually. And hopefully, we'll get more info on Price. He was so damn cryptic in the game it was hard to tell what his deal was. If Shepard returns with an eyepatch and a grudge, I'll be pretty disappointed about it. These writers are better than that. Time to come up with a new character (they did a great job with Shepard in this game) to fill the void. Might I suggest Captain MacMillan returning in some way, shape or form? Make for a great nerdgasm amongnst the fanbase...

Anyway, that's my take. Hope you enjoyed and that you're glad I'm back. Stay tuned for my NFL week 14 blog coming soon!
