The other day I bought 'Call of Duty: World at War' for Nazi Zombies. The regular game is pretty good but I've played wayyy too many WW2 games. Seems as though a lot of people who play this haven't.
I tend to hate all of these gamers who are new to FPS games. It's not that they suck, or that they only play them on consoles (which can also make me mad), but it's because they are so annoying. These FPS game noobs always think that they are awesome, and they've played a lot of FPS games. These people played Halo 2 as their first game and think that they've played a lot of FPS games since then should be slapped. I was saddened when I was talking to my friend who was just born a year or two after me to call himself a 'hardcore' gamer. He says his favorite genre is shooters and his first game was Halo. He only plays on consoles, and he's never even played the classic games that define today's shooters. He hasn't played any of the Dooms, Duke Nukems, Quakes, Medal of Honors, early Call of Duty, Counter Strikes, Half-Lifes, Battlefields, Serious Sams, etc. If it's a 3D FPS, and you can't iron sight aim with it, he hasn't played it. He thinks that he's a 'hardcore' gamer just because he dedicates 12 hours a week to gaming. Fuck him. I play a lot longer each week than he does in a month. He thinks he's a 'hardcore' gamer because he's been playing games since Halo. Fuck him. I've played games since Duke Nukem 3D came out. I've played Star Wars: Dark Forces, Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, Dooms, Serious Sams 1 and 2, Battlefield 2, Quakes, Counter-Strike: Source, Medal of Honor: Allied Assault, the first Medal of Honor, and many many others. Still, he calls himself 'hardcore'. I don't even consider myself 'hardcore'. I just call myself a gamer.
Anyway, World at War is pretty good. At least Nazi Zombies is. I've played like 3/4s of the way through of the Single Player though. Still, I think that it is pretty good, and that Treyarch made something half decent that nobody else had done. At least with Nazi Zombies. There's only so much WW2 you can do. I think it's been long enough for another Omaha Beach level. Mohaa had a Omaha beach level ripped straight from Saving Private Ryan and it was bad ass.
