    Throw that shit back

    Im not a big Call of Duty guy.

    The problem is, people take it too damn seriously and play it too much. In my limited time, I play, take 2 steps, bam, head shot, dead, 2 steps bam head shot dead, etc...Everyone has the map memorized, have earned all sorts of insurmountable upgrades, and are just much better than me.
    Even if I see a guy way before he sees me, I will unload a bunch of bullets, the guy turns, shoots me in the head, I die.

    It sucks, isnt fun, and I cant/dont want to invest nearly enough time to make it fun.

    :lol::lol:

    if you remember in COD4 there was a death streak perk in which you dropped an already cooked grenade the second after you died. that was some bush league frustrating shit :evil: :evil:

    COD sucks. the first blackops was the last one i played because it seems like they really tried to make it a more "honest" game eliminating many ridiculous kill streak awards forcing players to rely on their ability to play the game over camping between a dumpster and a brickwall to boost your kill streaks to get your AC-130 and eventual nuke.

    COD sucks. :fp:

    still play all the time on xbox.
    I was playing quite a bit on xbox up until about 3 weeks ago when my wife finally gave birth to a pooping, crying, eating creature who now takes up all my free time. I played once during my paternity leave (yes the US actually has that sort of thing, believe it or not) and the rust in my skillset was painful and evident. Still love it though.

    Yeah this is the case with most of my "real life" friends -- it's all fresh and new to me, but it's a rarity to get them online for BO2 since they all burned out on MW3 and prior.

    Games like this will always have campers and such, but BO2 design and maps did a TON to minimize it. Multiple entryways to every/most rooms, attachments that let you see motionless objects to walls, major nerfs to perks like Ghost and SitRepPro such that they don't really benefit sitting still and staring ADS anymore.

    has anyone finished Bioshock infinit?

    SPOILER-
    I am at the part after you meet comstock and go onto a blimp thing...fight your way to the top...then there's a part where you have to protect the generator thing and a huge battle takes place. Lots of Patriot guys...I keep dying. it sucks. I hate it. I may give up if i'm near the end.
    :fp:

    I need to make space for GTAV anyways.
    Pick up my debut novel here on amazon: Jonny Bails Floatin (in paperback) (also available on Kindle for $2.99)

    So yeah, GTA 5 starts out very slow, but its pretty addicting. I like when you get to Trevor. :lol:

    IT was fun for awhile, but got boring... I returned it before finishing -- got $12 off GTA5.

    Yeah, it looked better than the first two, anyway.

    Fun games, but I don't intend to play them again.

    Just a few more weeks before Santa Amazon and his eight UPS trucks deliver my PS4 :P

    It's a pretty week list of games availble for launch. Killzone is the only real exclusive, but the next gen versions of NFS Rivels and AC4 look awesome.

    I'm also intrigued by the next gen version of Battlefield 4 as it is now similar to the PC version w/ 64 players. I'm not a huge multiplayer fan, but I've enjoyed Battlefield series because if someone is camping in a building, you just blow the building up.
