Hmmm yeh I agree with what you say about the 'Americans rule........ etc' but unfortunately most games go down that road so I guess its something I have come accustomed to! Sort of now expect it from most war type games.
I do have Call of Duty but I am more of a single player gamer and havent got into the online side of things. I have however played it on lan with my kids and sort of know what you are sayin about the respawning side of things! But I do think both COD & MOH looked fantastic.
And I also thought Serious Sam was a good hoot/laugh! When it first came about it was good to see so many things on the screen at once without the game spluttering. But yes I do see what you are saying about the games they do tend to be quite lineal still! Even HL2, as good as it was, was still very lineal!
Anyway I appreciate you voicing you opinion. Enjoy the New Year and lets hope it brings us another top game real soon.
