Oh, that and that he turned into a bad guy because SECRET AMAZON TRIBAL TORTURE TECHNIQUES, can't forget that.
Blops 2 at least knew it was silly. This really, really doesn't. Plus you could sympathise with Menendez because you got to see how massively he'd been dicked around by the US in the past, while here it's just that everyone South of Texas has suddenly gone full-on genocidal for absolutely no discernible reason.
Extinction mode is fun, though, it plays like the old Survival mode with the addition of an actual point or Zombies with more enemy types and without all the moon-logic puzzles where adding cheese to a banjo makes an ICBM or whatever. Not that those were always bad, but it was something of a chore trying to figure out what the level's collection of random objects did while dead people were trying to eat your shoes.

I pretty much stopped playing Zombies because it just got too complicated with all the parts to collect, switches to be flipped, etc. It's great if you're playing with three friends or even three people who actually talk, but most of the time you're stuck with one guy who actually knows what he's doing and three people who have no idea what that one guy is up to because he's too cheap to spend ten bucks to replace his headset.
I really liked Survival on MW3 and I'm really disappointed they didn't bring it back. I don't know why they couldn't make it four player like Zombies. It had a certain logic to it that Zombies lacked. Certain guys are harder to kill because they wear more body armor, fine, I get that. Zombies get harder and harder to kill because... magic?
