Just thought I'd post a find from HookeySteet here as some of you may not see the thread he made :)


http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/articles/113/1132863p1.html Some people just cant wait

The Baltimore Sun reports two men armed with handguns stole four cases of Activision's Call of Duty: Black Ops video game, cash, and gaming systems from a GameStop store at the Bel Air shopping center in Harford County, Md. late Saturday night.

The robbers made off with more than 100 copies of Black Ops, which is set to go on sale this Tuesday. The local sheriff's office is asking residents to contact them if they come across early copies of the game.

Thread Sorce - Armed robbers steal 100 copies of Black Ops!

Thanks to HookeyStreet :toast:

That really doesn't make sense, people have to genuinely play the game to like or hate it. For instance, i played MW2, and i too hated it. It stripped down a lot of aspects that made the other COD's great and instead moved into creating quick cash in's on the franchise. If you want to truly find out what you do and don't like you have to experiament with it first.

People can comment on whatever they want as long as it's a well thoughout opinion, i too am not fond of people who say ''this game is shit and i hate it'', well why you hate it?, where did it go wrong for you? etc.

... Maybe shooting other people just isn't everyones cup of tea, now I'm not taking sides here but if someone doesn't like that kind of thing then they generally know if they are into that genre and refuse to play anything along the same lines despite what new things Activision or any other game vender may of brought to this game, or any game for that matter :)

I personally like to give every game a try at the very least.

It's not about the genre, it's not like someone says ''hey, i hate MW2 so obvously im not going to like BC2''. Each game is differant in one way or another, im a huge shooter fan but i can tell when a frashise has been devaluated and stipped down. But again, that's just me, and of course new features etc have been added, but i won't go into those because i would end up bashing the shit out of the game..:ohwell:

EDIT: Now of course i haven't played Black Ops, so who knows, it might me awesome.
