Hopefully, they won't allow anyone who was involved in the film near this.

Saw The Lone Ranger on Monday. It wasn't that good; rent it, don't go see it

Not only can Sam Mendes do an action film, they want him to do two.

He'd be the first director to do consecutive Bond films since John Glen did five in a row in the eighties.

Started and finished MoH: Warfighter last night. The campaign was certainly pretty, but ridiculously short. It sort of felt like Act of Valor: The Video Game, and I think the navy dropped the ball by not going for a tie-in. It's a shame that EA has taken it out of the rotation. With a little work, it could've been a great game.

I'm of the type that would rather play a short campaign that's more impactful than a long boring one, but that's just my preference. Not trying to argue with you.

Considering the Navy punished the SEALs who consulted on the game for allegedly revealing classified info (though nothing I saw in it from gear to weapons to tactics was really new to me and the only "based on real events" mission I recognized was Hat Trick being a reproduction of the Maersk Alabama rescue, which the details of are pretty public), I find it highly unlikely they would have even considered going that route.

To me it is a great game because of its authentic feel, but unfortunately the majority of gamers want to be doing the Hollywood crap like hunting stolen nukes or fighting WW3 instead of seeing the more mundane and everyday stuff that these guys do in reality.

If nukes fell into evil hands as often games and movies portray, Jericho would be far more than a TV show.


Like I said, not trying to argue with you or change your opinion, just offering my viewpoint.

Yeah, 2010 was a bit more "based on real events" since it was just Operation Anaconda with the serial numbers filed off and a different Dramatis Personae.

Saw Pacific Rim yesterday, and it was fucking awesome. My dad said from the previews, it looked similar to the Transformers movies, but I can assure everyone, it is the complete opposite of them (for starters, Pacific Rim doesn't have any retarded jokes in it).

I had a few problems with the 2010 game in that it was trying to be more Call of Duty than Medal of Honour; the whole point of the original CoD was it was more "average soldier" rather than "hero doing exceptional things" like MoH. Hence both of their names.

Also, MoH 2010's plot was so badly described that all I really got was 'everyone wants to climb a mountain for some reason,' and I could only keep track of which protagonist I was by who he hung around with. And then I was supposed to care when one of them died rather than going 'wait, which one was he again?'

Plus rather than trying to make you feel like you were a Tier 1 it tried to nag you into acting like one. If a game is going to hand me a sniper rifle I've never used before it should make the effort to make me feel like a pro, not have my spotter complain at me for not hitting the bad guy with my first shot.
