Martin’s is a good ‘un, indeed. He’s a rare reviewer, thorough without getting bogged down.

Finished the campaign. 4+ hours.
First Part of the campaign is the most interesting one.
Next two days (two acts) is just bollocks and clusterfuckness.
and i never died in all campaign (Played on the hardest difficulty). It’s fucking easy. AI don’t know how to shoot at all.
I don’t know… Danger Close should make Army Of Two or something. Singleplayer is a bad joke. A standard FPS with few interesting moments.
Need to check Multiplayer, but i’m affraid that nothing changed since Beta… Oh man…
I hope Black Ops will do it right.

Yeah, that was a good tip mathare. That review was about 2 pages longer than anything I’d normally read through, but it was really good.

You are fucking retarded. Seriously. You don’t even know what is fanboyism.
I always give chances to any game even if from a trailers it looks like shit.
For now, Black Ops looks nothing special, but i always hope that i’m wrong and that game will rock my socks. Who knows.
for now, after playing MoH it’s nothing special.

And it’s Snoop DogG. D-O-double-G. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@58 LOL – Hurry up and answer, you can still beat spiderLAW. He’s closing in!
We’re playing for uuuhhhh…….. This cartridge of four AAA Duracell batteries, two of which are missing, act now!

Did anyone stop to think that if these are single player reviews that once the complete review drops it’ll be a higher score then current? Atleast a potential 2-4 points high.

@63 Some reviews, including some of the really low ones, also reviewed the multiplayer, like the Gaston Videogamer review linked above.

7/10 from Edge. Guess that answers the ‘will they delay it to play the online modes’ question.

@65 That’s probably one of the worst reviews I’ve seen from Edge, and that’s saying a lot.
25% political statement, 50% games review, 25% pseudo-intellectual psychobabble. Barf.
@67 Nope! David Beckham gets laid. This guy doesn’t. He’s angry, but he isn’t angry in the sexy way, he’s more like one of those angry little dogs that just goes “Arp arp arp!” and bites your ankles. Man, I hate those.
Keep trying! Your prize will be sent by a small, but seemingly up-and-coming Siberian packaging firm, at no risk to those responsible for this contest.

There seems to be some confusion over the server thing. We were told they wouldn’t be going live till launch when we buzzed EA about it last week, but they seem to be live now.
Can I has list inclusion?

So you rushed through the game, and missed every interesting thing on your way. This is not Modern Warfare 2. You should take your time to get into full immersion.
I wonder how Hyperactive children like you could even get passed the first hour of Bioshock.

watching the ign and gt reviews it seems pretty crap
altho: GT gave it 8.1 when all they did was bash it WTF!!! THIS is why i dont trust reviewers half the time!! >: (
also altho another topic entirely i guess you could argue that some of these complaints could be given to CoD aswell but on the whole your average CoD game sounds better than this so whatever

@youngZero “So you rushed through the game, and missed every interesting thing on your way.”
You obviously know how i played. If you do than give here a prove video of that in the next 24 hours or fuck off with your thoughts somewhere else.
“I wonder how Hyperactive children like you could even get passed the first hour of Bioshock.”
Woop di Doop, shit hit the fan and you are wrong again. I enjoyed Bioshock 1 a lot, especially it’s setting, atmosphere and story.
and i’m a big fan of Metal Gear Solid or especially STALKER (Stalker is a good example), but you don’t know what it is, so… don’t even fuck with me when you will talk something about immersion, setting and story.

@82 LOL o i see.
Still, try not to be mean to the poor kid. I just think he has problems with conveying what he actually means in English. Obviously he has problems with english (i think he learned english on his own)
Erthazus. You too dude. Relax man, it might do you some good lol.

@84 Hey, can you shut up please? When i was rude to you?
And i don’t have problems conveying what i say in english. Get out of here kid to the threads where you argue about “which platform” have more exclusives. Fool.

Erth…
Read this carefully okay, dont rush through this or you’ll miss it. Ready?
I was sticking up for you. I was helping you out. you are rude to everyone with your vulgar language and bad grammar which both clearly show that you have problems conveying your feelings or what exactly it is you are trying to say. I never take them as offensive or rude personaly because i know that it is hard for you to carry out a conversation in english without using profanity between every word. When i said relax I meant for you not to comment back in any agressive manner on comments that are clearly meant for attacking you to get a rise out of you. Again, relax, take a deep breath, stay away from the energy drinks for a day and enjoy the articles that are posted here.
As for you trying to attack me personally with the “Get out of here kid to the threads where you argue about “which platform” have more exclusives. Fool.” comment, ill just ignore that one because i know damn well i dont ever choose sides on platforms unlike you Mr. PC is teh best EVAR!!! I’ll gladly enjoy all my consoles from th 80s till now while you waste time arguing with your ‘friends’ over who has the better motherboard.

@spiderLAW, i’m not angry to anyone and i’m not starting these holywars. If someone saying that i’m shit than i’m doing the same.
I have opinion. Everybody has.
And yes my grammar and english are bad, but it’s not because of i’m stupid or MAD or kid or something, it’s because it’s not my native language at all. Where i live no one speaks english. I learn it everyday. I’m trying, but you don’t need to tell me about english and insult me. It’s obvious that i’m bad at it. You don’t even need to mention about it. I get it, i know it. Thanks.
PC is not teh best evar, if it was TEH best EVAR i could enjoy platform exclusives like it was before. Everyone understand that PC as a platform is weak right now, although mouse, great graphics, great MMO’s, cheaper games, better servicesm true HD are always with me. When i say in certain threads that “PC FTW!” than it is indeed better suitable for PC experience in my opinion/Experience or whatever. It’s not a “BDH fanboyism” here.
“arguing with your ‘friends’ over who has the better motherboard.”
i never argue about that. No one from my friends give a damn about PC hardware at all
except one guy that asks me about “Future upgrades”.
I thought you are a good guy like OG and some other folks, but in the last few days you are trying to say that i’m a kid or whatever. Your choice and i ignored that for a while, now i don’t care.

@83: Lol, I’m a huge MGS Fan, hell i even got an autograph from Hideo and Shinkawa and I’m also a huge Stalker fan. So i don’t understand how you can miss the immersion. The atmosphere of the game is fantastic.
However. You were right about the 4+ hours. I played it for 2 hours when i wrote my comment. There was no end in sight, so i figured that others would’ve had rushed through it. Needless to say that i didn’t see the end coming. There was no real story to tell at all. Some minor subplot with a general who fucks up shit.
I could never figure out who’s is who in the game. Most of the Army soldiers have a brickface, with no personality at all.
The only one who stood out was … that one guy with his FDNY Cap. But i don’t remember his name. Something with D?
Anyway, while the experience was fantastic, it was too short. And this is it’s biggest problem. There there no camaraderie moments in the game. Something that would help us getting to know these guys. They should have made some cutscenes, tell the whole thing from your characters perspective. A real narrative. Like Brothers in Arms. That’s what i was expecting. But that never happened. I don’t know jackshit about my team. The only thing i know about anyone is rabbit. He likes music from Hindu Kush. And that he got 5 kids, which is why they call him rabbit. But that was mentioned by the developers and nowhere else. And this is why SPOILER his death wasn’t tragic at all /SPOILER.
What i really like is that the talk in complete military style. With this, they show exactly who it is they want to approach: Soldiers.
Also: After playing through the story, the name “OpFor” makes more sense.
