I want Jinx stuff for free...

The game is not a map pack for COD 4, we've already had that. It's a new theater, with new weapons and maps and story. Some guns are better than others. There were guns in COD4 that I found totally useless that other people liked (personally I couldn't stand the submachine guns because they were too weak and found the P90 WAY overpowered.) I've heard complaints about the bolt actions yet a couple of my favorites are in there.

The feel of the guns is pretty subjective so I'll just say, I disagree.

Personally I haven't felt like the tanks are tremendously overpowered. I mean...It's not the Warthog and the game isn't Halo. It's a friggin tank. They're supposed to be tough. A well-place head-shot takes out the gunner and two shots in the ass with a rocket or sticky bomb takes out the tank. I've taken out a few on my own anyway.

See I know that is flat out wrong, I have run up behind tanks a couple of times thrown two satchel charges on it run a bit blown them up and then had the tank turn kill me, that is my problem with the tanks you can't kill the tank with the armaments you have without dieing and getting more.

Any first person shooter I've played I've heard people complaining about spawn points. When COD4 came out with the update last year it effectively broke the game for awhile. I was spawning in front of 3 guys and even facing the sky once or twice. But they fixed it. I haven't had any real gripes with the spawn points in this one yet but I think if enough people complain they'll do something about this one as well.

I didn't actually complain about the spawn points but your right they suck.

It's not COD 4. It's it's own game with it's own maps, weapons, and problems. They've tried to use some of the best features of the last one but it is it's own game. There are people online who are kicking ass at the game and I'm guessing that they're not doing it simply with exploits. They're doing it because they're playing the game like it's it's own game...not COD4 part 2.

Ultimately I wasn't expecting it to be COD4.2, but I believe I am justified in comparing it to COD4, because fundamentally, it is a reskin. Also don't get me wrong I didn't come here to rant because I got my ass handed to me I came here to complain because when I started playing I was flat out told on half the maps that loaded "you have to camp on this map", I scoffed at them at first but quickly realised they were absolutely right. Most of the maps seem to have been made with a complete lack of understanding of what made COD4 a fun game.

That would be nice to have a one button netflix option, but i dont think we;d get that either :(

a few posts earlier on it.

Firstly, thanks so much to Dan for responding. Points well taken.

It appears as if I'm in the minority here, which is fine. Perhaps part of my problem is that I have heard about these movies, and will likely read reviews on them and decide whether or not to see them based on that. But it's undoubtedly true that if the guys emphasize these movies by giving them a full review, it has a better shot of making my Netflix Queue.

However, I often see movies opening weekend and always look forward to the TRS reviews to come. But what can ya do I suppose.

Dan, maybe a mention in the outro, along with Netflix suggestions, on the weeks these limited releases make it to DVD? And once again, thank you!

For a first post on the forums, I am quite happy. See you guys around here, and by all means continue with the convo if you've anything else to add.
