Or BE the Taliban.

I'm going to wait on this one. I've still got Halo Reach and I've go CoD coming. I'll wait to hear how good it is and maybe pick it up used.

I hate all this controversy on a side getting to be the taliban, what, are we going to have to call it "opfor" on every game?

Nobody seemed to mind that you could play Nazis in Battlefield: 1942.

That's because when you're fighting the Nazis you aren't exposed to the reality of modern war.

You have to remember that there's an unwritten law that says any entertainment aimed at a younger audience, or that they will be exposed to, must not depict anything resembling reality.

You never played as the Nazis in Battlefield 1942, you played as the Germans or the "Axis" and the Imperial German flag was used.

Did you not like the movie or did you not like that they smoked weed?

I understand there are laws against displaying swastikas and all, but in some instances, it's historical. I think it was CoD 3, they had a scene of Nazis marching in Paris, and they had the red flags on the Arc d'Trioumph , but with the Iron Cross instead of the swastika. Or when someone built a replica of the ME-262 jet fighter recently, painted it in wartime colors, but left out the swastika that was on the tailfin of EVERY LUFTWAFFE AIRCRAFT during the war. If you're going to paint it in wartime colors, do it right. The government should understand that.

German law allows swastikas for historical purposes, however they consider video games to be children's toys, thus video games do not get the historical exemption.

The Coen brothers are great filmmakers. But I'm not sure about Jeff Bridges playing Rooster. From trailer it doesn't look like Jeff is doing the comedic style Wayne did in the original, which is probably a good thing. It may have that No Country for Old Men dry humor.

k9870 10-08-2010 01:13 PM

Rooster cogburn cannot be redone.....im sorry.

And no countr for old men is overrated, i mean its okay, and did guns good, and the bad guy was cool........but you watch it and are like "that won awards?"

Ending sucked, apparently the sherriff was supposed to be the main character and he wasnt even necessary to the plot, didnt do anything.........

I'll take No Country over There Will Be Blood, which was the contender for best picture.

You say the ending sucked but was it the typical "Hollywood" ending where the bad guy gets it in the end? Those endings are overrated.

The whole point of the original book was to illustrate the complete inability of local law enforcement to deal with well funded organized crime.

Swordfish941 10-11-2010 01:49 PM

Anyway, I borrowed Capote and A History Of Violence from my aunt. I plan on watching them tonight.

S&Wshooter 10-11-2010 03:36 PM

Watched Get Carter (the one with Stallone) last night. It was pretty good


Next Tuesday I'm getting New Vegas

I'm a little pissed that they moved the release date to NEXT Tuesday. I was hoping for THIS Saturday so yeah, another week,.

Rockwolf66 10-12-2010 03:49 AM

I'm looking at the Screencaps for RED(2010) and I realized what the RPG launcher over John Malkovic's head was as I've seen it before. First time was in Afganistan: The last Warbus. Second time was in a recent Small Arms Review where they went over RPG types. It's a Yugoslavian version of the RPG-2.

S&Wshooter 10-12-2010 11:13 AM

My western loving grandfather is not pleased that they are remaking True Grit

Um, the release date has been solidly the 19th a while.

Excalibur 10-12-2010 12:56 PM

I kept looking at more vids on Gametrailers.com and they kept posting the release date on the 16th

The reviews for MoH have not been very generous.

Really? That's not good.

Good thing I didn't preorder it.

From what I've gathered, there's a lot of mixed review, like the multiplayer doesn't stack up to COD, but the singleplayer missions were well done. A lot of mixed opinions

IGN gave it a 6/10. According to them, the single player is too short, buggy, and the AI is primitive. I'm glad I threw my lot with CoD.

k9870 10-12-2010 03:29 PM

MOH is pretty damn good, too many hardcore COD fans bashing the online but i do have one gripe. You can lean out and peek from behind cover, in SP. Not online.......but hey you get a p226 using 17 round mec gar mags in SP:)

Seems like less camping and boosting in MOH, COD gameplay got old to me,moh is sweet.

Excalibur 10-12-2010 05:16 PM

Like i said, a lot of mixed reviews.

k9870 10-12-2010 05:33 PM

There always is, like how MW2 has 10/10 reviews all over but then out of people i know its 50/50 between "greatest game ever" and "wow they really didnt improve anything"

funkychinaman 10-12-2010 05:54 PM

I decided to pre-order CoD and not MoH mainly because CoD has simply had a better run than MoH of late. (I really like Airborne, but I'm still suffering from the aftertaste of European Assault.) I'll probably still get MoH, but I'll get it used like I do most of my games. (I've only pre-ordered five games in my lifetime.)

The thing about MW2 is the multiplayer is always good but the singleplayer story is just weird

k9870 10-12-2010 06:56 PM

Multiplyer got old, felt exactly like COD4. Very few maps unless you spend extra money on map packs, everyone camps, boosts, ect.

Zulu Two Six 10-12-2010 08:24 PM
