Black Ops Information

So far the general theme of development for Treyarch has been change. They are dedicated to bringing gamers a new and fresh Call of Duty experience, while retaining the time-honored gameplay that Call of Duty fans expect. Treyarch lifted the lid on their Black Ops info, and plenty of information has poured forth.

Medal Of Honor Review

whats up people?!, i wanted to give a review of the new game "Medal Of Honor". i wanted to give adequate time to see how this game works and how i like it. this game is a decent one, i feel a huge comparison to Battlefield Bad Company 2, The game engine is nearly the same.
The Campaign: The campaign is pretty decent, but you dont really get "attached" to the characters in the roster like you do in the Call of Duty series
The Multiplayer: the multiplayer is okay, once again- strong reference to Bad Company 2, but with less customization. That is the main thing that i didnt like, that there is no customization on the multiplayer, everyone is using the same gun if they are sniping, everyone is using the same gun if they are using an assault rifle.
The Rating: all and all, i think that this game is pretty good, but with some minor flaws, so on a scale of 1 to 10, i give it a 6

Medal Of Honor

Hey guys, wanted to let ya know about a pretty well-heard of game- Medal of Honor. everyone knows that the previous games have been pretty good, but this game is supposed to be comparable to Modern Warfare. This game is apparently a mix of the Call of Duty series (fast-paced, tactical first person shooter) and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (more of a larger scale war game, using mostly vehicles), giving it a healthy balance of both worlds which i am definitely looking forward to, because i am a huge fan of both.
