That was one of the best reviews I have read in a long time.

very entertaining and very true. i finished the game before the first reviews popped out and hated it, still knowing that it would get a 9,0 in gamespot.
actually reading any major computer game review site convinced me not care about any reviews anymore. i was kind of relieved seeing that despite that 9,0 the user rating for blops was below 8 and falling. but i rechecked a second ago and it reached 8.3 which means that people have no taste in games at all (which stops making me wonder why there are that many bad games released)
i found the graphics quality horrible, although i was convinced that this was due to creating a low-demand game so that a wide variety of pc-gamers will have the ame experience. after i saw the benchmarks in which a quad core barely handles the game i kind of dropped that statement.
first of all i hated the fact that the your main character was so "defined". what i liked about the preview modern warfare was the fact that you were a kind of anonymous observer, a small piece in a greater puzzle and although your actions directly altered the plot, you still had the feeling of humbleness. now controlling a constantly babbling dork on whose actions besides shooting and running i have no input is just not doing it for me. besides this guy seems to be quite the dick.
in fact why should i even bother getting into the plot when it is so highly unrealistic and typical, with your dual wielding rambo copy once again saving the world (america) from the ruskies.
besides that the game feels like a railway shooter in which you just press forward and shoot. every action is heavily scripted and not leaving you any choice at all, frustrating you every time a cutscene or quicktime event comes in. my favourite part was when you were running over a exploding mine field where your apc's die left and right but no matter how you run, no mine will set off.

after stealing scenes from any vietnam war movie there was (the boats from apocalypse now, the russian roulette from the deer hunter) treyarch had only 5 hours of gameplay. so what did they do - add a ww2 setting. COME ON. it's fucking MODERN warfare. and this level sucks so much balls it's ridiculous. there are somewhere around 5 sound samples your enemies scream consisting of "good eyes!" or "i got him on sight" which they repeat every 2 seconds. the sound guy did a great job of turning the volume so high that it seems that they are standing right besides you screaming into your ear no matter if he was 5 or 50 feet away.
also - great job with the technical facts. spaz12 in the 60's in vietnam. good job.
oh yeah and the soundtrack. the soundtrack. those epic orchestra tracks from mw1 are gone replaced by a wild mish mash of music you basically have to switch off. my favourite must be that awful metal-techno song from stage 7 which loops over and over again for a good 20 minutes.
this one
oh and i wanted to comment the ai and basic level design but just watch this

Sorry but anyone who uses the term 'hardcore gamers' is a cocknozzle.

It reminds me of when you take your car to a repair garage, the first time they do an honest job and even knock down the price. then, taking advantage of your credence, they rip you off!

nice review but why did you give it 5/10? you should take heed of Amiga Power's approach to reviews and scoring

Even though my review is scathing, I think on a grand scale it's still an 'average' game overall.

Might change it to a 4, thinking about it. What you think?
