Call Of Duty

so, sheperds mad he lost 3000 of his marines, althouh hes an army general?

[Excalibur]

Well he said he lost 30,000 men. He didn't say they were Marines. Maybe army and Marines were present in the middle east in COD4 when the nuke went off. I assume that's what he's referring to.

[k9870]

It seemed like a lower death toll though, think about it, they were all pulling out and the blast was fairly small for a nuke. Only the troops in the center of the city and the helos would get hit.

[Excalibur]

Well this is the only event I could think of, the nuke explosion that most likely killed a lot of soldiers but perhaps they were trying to clear out when the nuke threat was announced and 30,000 troops didn't make it out in time or died from the fallout afterward. Who knows, the plot to MW2 is so convoluted, that it's crossing into Tom Clancy zone

[MT2008]

Am I missing out a lot by not playing this? I haven't played very many new FPS games in the last 5 years. Of course, I doubt my Dell notebook could handle MW2.

At the moment, while everyone's getting excited about MW2, I've actually gone back to "Hostile Waters", which I imagine most of y'all have never heard of.

[Excalibur]

I think you are missing on a lot of conversation pieces involving the plot and the weapons used in this game.

[k9870]

You can dal wield m1887s, of course your missin out

Try a xbox 360 and xbox live, its rediculously fun.

[MT2008]

When I was growing up, I never had any game consoles, just my computer, so I basically grew up entirely on computer and not video games.

I was thinking of getting MW2 off Steam, but I imagine it would be slow as hell on my laptop.

[k9870]

Yeah, it would. I didnt start amin until i was like 13, most people i know had nintendo 64s or segas from when they real young. But I have always been a console guy. My family could never afford top of the line computers and update them a lot, computer gaming is just impractical for me. Im typin on a dell inspiron 1420, which i can say is my most advanced computer so far if that tells you anything.

How is your laptop? Do you have another computer? How is the laptop's internet connection?

I grew up around video game consoles. My first console was the Sega Mega Drive that belonged to my father. Then I got an Nintendo 64 and a Playstation 1. I don't care what anyone says, i prefer the N64. Then I got a Playstation 2 which I had for two or three years and now I have an Xbox 360 and an proper gaming computer I got last year. So I'm a PC gamer and an Console gamer. Pretty good, huh?
