I think I'm going to pick this up. I have some Play N Trade credit I need to use up. Anyone else planning to get it?

Pros: If you buy the DVD you can just enter your Key into Steam and add it to your library.
Cons: It runs like poop on my pc. Choppy choppy.

Call of Duty: Bro Ops
Glad I passed on this. These games are just not targeted at me any more. I'm glad I've learned that lesson.
As I get older I find I'm less and less interested in the new hot games. I was starting to feel a bit out dated or pushed out of the market until PAX. That reminded me that there are still of ton of games for me and gamers like me. But the fast action 64 v 64 shooters are not it.

I'm glad there are still people like Bohemia Interactive out there making games like ArmA.

^ that is awesome! I'm digging Black Ops. It's pretty fun. We'll have do a Zombie map or two, bl00k. Mostly, I like FPS games. For me, they provide most bang-for-the-buck. I Don't have to dedicate months and months of time to be good. I hop in, kill, get-killed, rinse, repeat, have fun and log off. That's how I like it. No hours-on-end obligations or quests and no gigantic requirement of time as a barrier to entry.

That get in get out idea of FBS is starting to fade a bit though. Leveling systems are entering these games making it more difficult to just jump from one to another without putting in your time. I'm not against it for the most part. But it adds that grind aspect to the games.

I agree with that Math. I have found myself on many occassions since CoD4 playing longer than I had planned because I was so close to that next level. But, also to agree with you, I kinda like the leveling system and how it makes it fun to earn new things in game.

The nice thing about the COD games, at least the newer ones is Hardcore mode. Seriously, it doesn't matter what level you are because one or two shots from any weapon and you're dead. It takes the Arcade out and puts your skills to test, not your level.
Oh and that video, i'm surprised with all the hype it got. You can do the same thing on any mode with practically any single player game that has you co-op'd with AI.

I just hate the parts in games that have you in a cut scene and then you "start playing" but really it is still the cut scene. Example being in bro ops the vietnam level starts out with a cut scene where you are in a jeep with some dudes, shit gets real, and the jeep gets blowed up and tosses you all out. You shake the birds flying around your head and then pick up your buddy bro and carry him. Cut scene over and now you are "in control" while you carry your bro to safety. Except you can't do anything except walk forward. You can't turn, you can't take cover or shoot or do anything at all except push one button. And you don't need to move and stop to avoid anything, just move. Why even have me control it? Why not just continue the cut scene an extra 10 seconds?

I got to play some BlOps with Poop tonight. It was fun, but it puts you on a random team, so we were on the same team maybe twice with no way to change. That is just retarded. I'm just mad cuz he kept killing me.
