Call of Duty and the war game dilemma

Post by weedguru_waffles »

Call of Duty: Black Ops hits stores on Tuesday, and it shouldn't surprise anyone when it becomes one of the bestselling video games of the year. Judging from previews I've played, it’s another excellent entry in the series that has defined first-person shooters since its debut in 2003.

Earlier this year, Electronic Arts faced similar blowback over Medal of Honor, which featured a multiplayer mode that let gamers control Taliban fighters. EA, which initially wanted the game to be as realistic as possible, relented to the pressure just before its October release and switched the name of the multiplayer enemies to a generic “opposing force.”

I agree with bubbles.


The game sucks, nothing has changed compared to MW2, all the irritating bullshit that was in MW2 is in COD:BO and they added some more irritating crap.

I'm selling my copy asap.
Computer games don't affect kids. I mean, if Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we would all be running around darkened rooms, munching magic pills, and listening to repetitive electronic music.
