Night note

November 21st, 2009 No comments

It was a pretty quiet day today overall.  Nice for a change.  Saw the immediate aftermath of a glancing head-on collision tonight on the way home from work.  It looked like a van caught the left front corner of a sedan that started turning left in front of it.  Looked like everyone was OK though.

I beat COD MW2.  It was good for the most part.  I was a bit disappointed with the end, as I felt a lot was left too unfinished.  I realize there needs to be a sequel, but this was a bit too sparse.  Whomever it was that decided putting massively important story elements in dialog during the middle of a several hundred-man firefight, they really need to learn what it’s like to play the game in stereo.  I completely missed some really important stuff because.. well, I was running across a battlefield.

The whole “kill the player then jump to a new soldier” bit was also wearing thin.  Now that I’m done complaining about the parts I didn’t like, I can say the one thing I really wanted to…

The space sequence was one of the most memorable gaming moments I’ve had.  That was just pure genius!  From a physics standpoint, it’s pretty hard to rationalize, but from a gameplay factor, it was impressive as hell!  Multi-player is, of course, excellent.

Overall, an 89 – I don’t think the game deserves a 90 because of some of the gimmicky tricks they pull, and the massive disconnects between each campaign.  It would be an 85 or so, but the online component is so solid, I have to give it a better rating.
