For gamers, Keith David is more known as the Arbiter in Halo. Foley was a character seen in previous Call of Duty games

My point is that he has played a role in a movie about an actual war, not that he was another videogame character.

The other "Foley" Was Cpt. Foley from the first game and the United Offensive pack, and was voiced by Steven Blum, not Keith David, so technically, no, Keith David's Sgt. Foley is a new character to the franchise.

Which brings us to CAPTAIN PRICE, the most awesome British war veteran over 100 years old to ever exist in a game! He will never die!

Oh and more nitpicking. It never ends. They didn't give the SCAR its own Grenade launcher attachment and did what they did in the previous game. All rifles except for the AK, gets the M203. This is bullshit for IW and more lazy on gun details. They paid so much attention on dual wielding that they didn't give the SCAR it's own GL. But then let's get to the Tavor, oh there's a piece of work with the M203 attachment there. In real life, the M203 attachment to a Tavor looks like this



but in the game, they made it look like THIS!



I might be able to forgive them for the SCAR getting an M203 than it's own GL attachment. But they obviously didnt do enough research on the Tavor to see that they are supposed to swap out the handguard with the M203 and strap it to the barrel, not slap the GL on the bottom of the gun. It doesn't work like THAT!

They are not battery powered and as such would not be affected by the EMP. I also find it hard to believe that none of the soldiers had flashlights that were most likely turned off during EMP. Another nit-pick is that your weapon after the EMP was an M4 with an EOtech mounted on it. Why couldn't the creators have your character just flip up the iron sights? You had to pick up an entirely different M4, also coincidentally like yours with an M203, with iron sights up for that kinda of thing.
Add to that the seemingly non-existent source of visible and IR laser light on weapons in the game (though, to be honest night vision is way too bright to be of any real use, but that's not the point). I mean, seriously, maybe I'm in the minority, but what's so difficult in giving us an accurately-modeled M4 (example: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/41/12...d534641fb7.jpg)?

I completely agree on the Mark 13 EGLM for the Mark 17. True, I'm a 203 fan (as I've said previously on here), but it just doesn't look right on a SCAR.

But regarding the Tavor, attaching the 203 like in real life would have been impossible because mounting system on the in-game model was derived from that on an airsoft version of it, not the real thing.

another movie refrence, getting the last kill with a harrier is the "true liar" challenge.

On a side note, i really hope the bushmaster acr takes off, there produced about 45 minutes from me.

Can you rephrase that? I don't understand.

And this isn't a movie reference but more of an internet reference. When you kill your first Juggernaut, the achievement that pops up is "I am the Juggernaut" but they left out the bitch part.

When do you fly a Harrier in this game?

you dont, its a killstreak, and the acr reference is that the bushmaster plants about 45 min away and i want ther acr to get released and be popular, create a few jobs and have them on the shelves. Most likely better prices here than farther away too.
