Wait, what? The blame rests on Obama for trying to fix Bush's mistakes? Rich white guy ruins the country and the black guy trying to fix it is blamed.
Why don't you ask and answer a few simple questions: What was the economy like BEFORE Clinton? After Clinton? Before Bush? After Bush? Before Obama?
The country was already falling apart and Obama is to blame huh? Guess it's his fault we are stuck in an unwinable war too, huh?

Win? Win what? Sales? COD without a doubt, its brand is still selling well and shows no signs of slowing down, DESPITE all it's flaws and despite the large percentage of n4g users predicting otherwise...
Scores? I think it will be quite even honestly, I mean when was the last time COD got a bad score?
Quality? remains to be seen until both games are out.
There's no way to tell off a PC demo what the console version of BF will lo...
Congrats HHG.
Those who can, do.
Those who can not, hate.

@roc
You start off insulting me and I'm the one acting like a 10 year old?
I think your the idiot here as pre-orders in my area are thru the roof. You seem to have no concept that this is a company that's in the game to make money off the masses, not cater to a few who feel entitled to what they want, when they want it.
Zipper has already stated they have NO desire to make the game you want so now what? Just keep bitching huh?
...
Believe it or not there tons of people who ONLY play COD's. And I think someone that plays something continually proves that they have quite the attention span. It's those that are constantly jumping from game to game that have a short attention span, like me.
I have quite a few on my friends list that are like this and trying to get them to play something else is like talking to a brick wall.
I still enjoy a romp around the block, but I'll n...
It's funny you mention standards and what people will accept like previous Socoms were prefect. I, along with millions others I'm guessing simply didn't like the "true Socom" games, which is why I'm guessing they are changing to suit the many verses the few.
I don't know much, but I do know this is a business and the purpose of any business is to make as much money as you can while you can.
The only thing that can be said a...
@Black
You see it as sales suffered because of the changes while it can be construed that gamers tastes/ages/likes changed and simply moved on to other games/franchises.
Seeing as sales declined by what looks like a million from the first maybe not as many gamers liked the first as much as you'd like to believe. Sequels usually do BETTER numbers than the original if the original was well received, no?
I loved Mario Bro's/Street fighter w...
@black
So what you and the rest are saying is you're really good at Socom2 style of play and don't want to lose that advantage because
A: you all lack the skill to be good in the latest version
B: don't want to take the time to get good at the latest version
I see so much of socom2 in the classic modes it's a shame Zipper is wasting their time and resources even trying to please these people because most new com...
I'm sorry, I own each game you mentioned and not one of them is the same exact game as its predecessor. Even Madden with its updated roster is a slightly different game each year.
Old Socom fans want the exact game but with better graphics. ALL the complaints has been to make Socom4 into Socom2 HD. What part of that missed you?
I'm ignoring the entire GTA argument because we are discussing the Socom franchise, not GTA, a completely different genre...
Correct me if I'm wrong but, wasn't "real" socom fans complaining out their waazoo's about Slant Six ruining the franchise and begging Zipper to make the next game?
Only to get the original devs back and not like where THEY want to take THEIR game? So you guys want Socom2 in HD but have the nerve to complain that "other" games are the same as their predecessor but with updated graphics?
No Dev wants to make something they&#...
I believe you hit it dead on with everything you said.
@maawdawg
I'm quite envious that you got a chance to get some hands on time with BRINK!
I'm just at the Battery Park level with the marines in Crysis.
Got about 5 more levels to go I think, going by the trophy list. It's movement is very very good, just not as fluid as it looks in BRINK.
Looking at all the clips I thought it looked easier to move with the SMART system. Between the focus on team OBJ's, gameplay, the SMART ...
I didn't read your entire rant about how BF is and has always been about MP.
I clicked on this article because it was about SP in a shooter I was interested in, as THAT'S what's important to ME, in my FPS world.
BF fans won't hear any complaints from me as one would have to own something to complain about it...;-)
Naw, I believe it is the same as before. They've repeatedly stated that gameplay was going to be their main focus and their strong suit.
These devs are known for FPS's and I think they will give FPS fans the kind of game they've been looking for. Those that are only insterested in KDR and "awesome" grapics with stale gameplay will be disappointed..
yep, ur right. It's actually the only reason I bought Crysis2. This same feature is in KZ3 as well, but only in SP which is just baffling to me.
However, I think it works a little better in crysis as you can run, slide into cover and with the right timing leap over the cover/enemy and still shoot. pretty awesome I must say.
Been having my eye on this title for a while now, day one buy. After all the other FPS's that have not given me the gameplay I desire I'm hoping BRINK will be my last shooter for a while. The freedom of movement your character has is just awesome.
I'm so glad they put their focus on new gameplay instead of state of the art balls to the wall graphics with the same tired ass gameplay that every current/future FPS has/will have.
Aren't game...
@blacktar187
Thanks! You've just saved me some greenbacks. I hope real BF fans enjoy what is sounding like a very pretty COD.
I agree with K4rma, MP is THE cancer that's killing real games.
Every FPS MP plays the same now, with very small differences in gameplay.
Awesome. Can't wait for the other 15 FPS's to come out this year as well, all playing the same but with different paint jobs.
I'm gonna use my last bubble to insult you. Over and over.
You sir, are, without a doubt an idiot. Or a kid. Or an asshole. Either way I'm only going to explain this once.
No where in my post did I say pirating WASN'T stealing. To make sure we understand each other PIRATING IS STEALING. Pirating means you stole the game and the Dev was never compensated. I'm all for Devs being paid for their work, but it's not an everlasting paycheck.

Speak my good man!
I've been screaming this message at the top of my lungs trying to get people to wake up and see what is really happening with everyone's favorite hobby.
HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!
Yea, GTA4 sucked balls for me. SR2 and GTA4 aren't even in the same category when talking about fun.
Best GTA was GTA:SA and the Saints Row series just copied and builds on that formula and cranks it up. Played GTA4 once and never want to touch it again and could care less about it's MP.
Really looking forward to SR3, just hope they don't pull a rockstar and downgrade the content for "better" graphics.
I'll ta...
