Because, as we said in our verdict, its not a bad game; It's just not very original. Also, the fact its set in WWII hurt it as well. It's a solid 'B' game. Still fun, but not very innovative or original. » Login to reply to this

You're right, I hate that as well. I thought about including it, but ended up not because I felt people could always try not to play on them. Then again, a lot of the servers I jumped on tended to have it enable, so maybe I should've. » Login to reply to this

Once again, Activision farms IW's work out to a third party that finds some way to screw it up. Basically a good game, but allowing players to alter the values awarded in an RPG system is like letting WoW players grind to lvl 80 in one day by playing on a hacked server. Doesn't do much for the overal continuity of the community. » Login to reply to this

I agree. I hated those power-level servers, even though I'm guilty of getting up to level 2 prestige through them... =/ » Login to reply to this

well, i'm sure you didn't have a problem loading up another review website with your gazillion times 10 splooge fest, nair (shout out yoshi) powered, slices and dices, bigger than kid rock's ego, of a super machine. Some reviews do come out fairly soon after the game release (see left 4 dead). I'm just thankful they've turned out some reviews lately so I didn't have to see the madden one at the top every time i visited this page. Firingsquad is not the most informative website, nor the most up to date, but they try at what they do and it's a fun, laid back site, which is why I check it everyday and will continue to do so. Take it for what it is. » Login to reply to this  Yoda_Blues (263)    Dec 20, 2008 - 06:18 pm | Edited on Dec 20, 2008 - 06:19 pm Thanks guys, we try to do what we can here. We might not get every release, but we'll always try to get something up when we can. As for Soldier36, don't worry about him. He's just upset we didn't review Far Cry 2 and give it our new "Walk around for 3 hours doing nothing" Award. It's just a habit we have of not reviewing games that are not worth our time. ;-) » Login to reply to this

FiringSquad is rather low on employees and is doing everything it possibly can with such few resources. Cut them some slack. » Login to reply to this

I always enjoyed Call of Duty's scripted parts. It just gives this awesome cinematic quality that further intensifies an already intense game. Some games are fine open-ended, nonlinear, etc. but Call of Duty has always succeeded thanks to its strictly linear, rail-shooting, scripted sequences that present an amazing tale. » Login to reply to this  jacobvandy (956)    Dec 18, 2008 - 07:48 am i agree, but the ones in this game, especially the ones i mentioned, are so poorly done. i wanted to bash my head into the wall by the end of the few hours (!) it took me to get through those short sequences. i dunno, this whole game just feels like a cheap knock-off... » Login to reply to this
