Well theoretically I should have just the one. Years ago, I hacked a template mod to auto rotate some avatars. Bizarrely, it's come back. I am assuming that this is definitely Lincoln related. Infact, I know it is because he was mentioning something on Twitter!
I hate that I'm jaded to the Call of Duty games now. I LOVED the original CoD (when WWII games had not yet seen their oversaturation point). But crap, now days we're seeing a new CoD game every, what, 9 months it seems? Plus, the series have increasingly grown to support the console gamers more than the PC, where it originated.
I wasn't even going to watch this trailer, but there it sat on the front of gaming.icrontic. And I was a little board, so whatever. Clicked play.
I didn't even pay attention to the first half. Meh, more of the same. Brothers in combat, drama, slow motion deaths, ect.
It wasn't until I saw the Washington monument in pieces that I sat up in my chair. I rewound the trailer...
They're taking some risky business with this game. But it was enough to make me pay attention. That's saying something.
Call of Duty has perpetually been on of my favorite franchises since the original. I know its almost Madden like with the yearly release, but it does keep getting better all the time.
I have a theory on why there are so many WWII games. See, its simple, its sociably acceptable to fight the Nazi's, zero gray area there, you have good, you have evil. Even in Germany the denounce that part of their history.
When you are talking about a modern setting the issues are obviously far more sensitive. Post 09/11 its almost unfathomable to think that you could explore an environment with the US capitol under attack, yet, they went there. I think its going to be 100% visceral.
