@pugster: That's not what I mean at all. The entire COD series is based on the same theme. The Hero is always right, and the war is always far away. Infinity Ward tried to shake that up this time. They gave us several missions where the Hero was unquestionably wrong, several where right and wrong were indistinct, and they brought the war home.

Why does no one seem to understand that the entire point of this game was to put the player in the other sides shoes? Every other game you have played would have been 4 heroes against hundreds of terrorists in an airport.How about fighting on the side of the invaded country for once? As an Iraq veteran, I was far more affected while trying to secure Burger Time then the airport. The detail in the airport was a little off putting at first, until about halfway through when I see all the flights on the big board tick over to Delayed (not canceled?). Someone apparently thought they should change the board instead of running for their lives...but that afterward people would still catch their flight?Did no one notice that Shepard is not a bad guy? Our 141 team nuked the US, destroying the ISS in the process. Are we really surprised he decides to take out 141 afterward? Sure he does it in a cold blooded way, but targeted to just remove the "bad elements" from the force.I think this nuance was lost on 98% of the players, and about 90% of the reviewers. I'd like to criticize Infinity Ward for that, but I hate having a stories point clubbed into me repeatedly. If I wanted that, I'd watch day time TV.This game asks you to think. To consider the other sides perspective. How would it feel to be part of a terrorist act? How would it feel to be the invaded country? How can the "bad guy" in life justify his actions?If you look deeper, rather then expecting everything to be spoon fed to you in small "morally correct" portions, you will find that infinity ward did a very good job on this game.

@Carlito_Negro: That video is great!Spoiler:Was I the only one confused on why Shepard was the bad guy? Ok yeah, he killed the second team, but they were responsible for shooting a nuke into the US. Other then killing the other team, I don't remember him doing anything wrong.

Just as bad as my cat trying to chew through the power cables....I'm torn between save the cat, or "this should be funny"

Probably the best way to enjoy a 24 hour WoW marathon. For the truely stout of heart, play Fantasia on a second monitor and time how long it takes you to vomit.

wait...inverse ninja rule? That sounds like something that I'm going to regret googling.According to the zombie apocalypse survival guide(Google, and then buy it if you don't know what I'm talking about), a katana type blade is the idea weapon. You never have to stop to reload, and it requires only minimal care to stay functional. Granted I think this was thought of with the slow "Night of the Living Dead" zombie as opposed to the hordes of L4D.

Its definitely Left 4 Dead. I'd recognize Francis' big goofy head anywhere.
