Having nearly completed the campaign I have to say the plot is utterly ludicrous in the few occasions when I could even fathom it out, the film references are done with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, one scenario having been implemented from the same film pretty much identically about five years ago in a rainbow six game. That said, who the he'll cares, it's all been so well crafted (ok apart from the one unforgiveable super focefield plastic orange tape in the snow, I had no idea that stuff was so strong, but then if you want free roaming buy operaion flashpoint or ARMA 2 if you're a PC type) and it fizzes along so slickly that it screams attention to detail (I even stopes to browse someone's book collection on the shelves of someone's burning house, oh a Jules Vernes fan, cool). And multiplayer is instantly familiar to those who played the last 2 CODs, but just that bit tighter. *That* scene is a tad disturbing though 'tis true.

Or even Whose Poo, at a pinch. Note to self, possible game show format, sequel to Monkey Tennis.

A who's poo if you will.

Sorry. It's basically more of the same but without being worse and a few changes of scenery like a good sequel should be really. Enjoy SP, it is excellent, and already earned my spurs on the multiplayer.

True, but if we can borrow hudreds of billions to simply keep banks afloat then a few huncdred million for the equipment for the duty of care we owe to those we put in harms way is not unthinkable. Especially as his crazy PPP policies will waste further tens of billions off balance sheet for the next twenty odd years. But I take your point, it's always a lose lose situation in politics, someone fights are best avoided.

It's not about the gunsbeing big, it's more like interactive cinema. I'll tell you this from the first two levels, they've clearly been watching Generation Kill and someone loves the old school bond films.

Ha ha. Yes. The two of us wouldn't make anyone quake in their boots. One thing I've noticed. TOny milked any thread focussed on himself for all it was worth, often posting heaps in a row himself. I'm enjoying Huguenots dignified silence, there alone we have a comparative measure of the two men. Next week, cock size...

Mind you, people do sign up it's true, but GB as chancellor is very much responsible for making them do it on a shoestring withou the equipment they need to do it right and with the highest margins of safety you can expect. In a very real way he is personally responsible for many deaths, but balancing a nations books is a very different crime to sending our soldiers on pointless military adventures in the first place. TBs concsciemce should weigh much heavier than GBs.

Its alias is MW2, and we all know there can only be one MadWorld!!!! Or was she the 72nd one?

It was during the period of high execution rates that crime went up that we realised that capital punishment simply isn't a deterrent. It was at this time that campaigns to end the practice began in earnest and it was reduced to the capital crimes of murder and treason. As keef says its about revenge. And keef, much as i totally agree with you that it's ultimately about the misuse of state power, on the side issue of the manner, give me a firing squad over the chair any day of the week. I can't think of a mor e horific way to go judging by some of the accounts.

Have sainsbos gone mad? Blimey I paid full whack for mine. Anyhoo review later in the proper place, but expect it to read 'every bit as good as it's modern warfare predecessor and a return to form after the solid but uninspiring ww two outing. Plus you get to annoy daily mail types and politicians by gunning down innocent civilians mwa haha hah.

He was set up by the sun and walked right into it. Private eye showed cameron did some pretty dodgy deals with murdoch that brown wouldn't submit to, this is his commeuppance. Murdoch is a horribly poisonous influence upon the politics if this country. I'm not a big fan of Brown either (though anythings better than Blair) but these seems a harsh and underhand and utterly tasteless ruse by the Sun.

I got mine at the far more sociable hour of twenty to nine at HMV in victoia. No preorder necessary. Kind of wish I'd pulled a sickie though.

Apparently the crucifixition is to act as a deterrent, a bit like the gibbets with rotting carcasses of thieves we used to put, or the old head on the spike on the tower. Thing is this chap was apparently mentally ill, and I can just about see a hand loping as a deterrent for thievery, but who's going to look up and think 'ooh, I won't have my wicked way with my niece after all. It's a pretty niche crime. As for medieval punishment, you were far more likely to end up in the stocks or judged and punished by your community in medieval times. The heyday of capital punishment (and the crowds going to see it) was in the supposed enlightenment period of the 18th century.

Or you could report a post, if any are relevant, with your comments, they will pop up in admin's inbox.

I can't work out the sky news site at all in terms of video searching and linkage, but if you go there now they have 'the worlds dirtiest footballer' on the front page in what I'm assuming to be the us womens league. Entertaining stuff. Nutter !!!!!!

Hats off Huguenot, but then I already know you're a fundamentally - emphasis on the mentally ;) - decent chap!!

Actually I happen to think, like PGC that's very much implicit in the whole ethos of remebrance Sunday, but memories are short, the Ww1 generation isnow completely gone and the numbers of Ww2 veterans are seriously thinning, and judging by this government's willingness to go to war I don't think a bit more expliciteness (a word?) can do any harm.

Erthe nonsense refers to an earlier statement. The ones above are spot on. Apologies for the confusion.

I'M afraid that's nonsense MM. The UK has spent 30 odd years ceding the rights to determine absolutley our own future to the very rivals we spent a good thousand years fighting in order to protect those rights. Those old rivals are doing the same and we are all undoubtedly better off and safer for it. Likewise the idea of defence can be a very elastic one and open to interpretation. Afghanistan was sold (and stil is to a large extent) as a defensive war for NATO security in the light of an attack on one of us. Obviously this looks less and less viaible and more and more like occupation as time wears on. The taking of Jersualem and the many horrors of the crusades were equally sold as the defence of Christendom, an interpretation that doesn't bear the slightest scrutiny. Vietnam, the defence of freedom, etc etc. War remains nothing but an absolute failure of imagination and humanity, and as you say, long gone are the days of Asian hordes sweeping from the steppes with pillage on mind and hopefully the utter destruction of world war two has invalidated forever conquest and domination as a means of national policy. I'd like to think empire is dead, but history and current events do no bear that out either. So war remaims a cynical and disgusting political tool of the power elites who pay lip service to ideas of duty and sacrifice. I think Brendan has a point that a somber rememberance of the enourmous sacrifices of our soldiers, whether citizen or professional over the genrations, should not preclude a very necessary reminder that the search for peace is the noblest goal of all.

Sometimes, true. Can't think of many though. I too am a serial poppy trasher, they never seem to last more than a couple of hours on me, so apologies if it was me you saw without quids. Not for want of trying.

Bottom line is both posters repeatedly transgressed the TOU of this place. Both were repeatedly warned, both were repeated offenders. Both are banned. TLS alleged racism is neither here nor there nor ever a part of his ban. I too am uncomfortable with the bandying about of accusations and the inability of those concerned to defend themselves, but HAL's assertion that BBW's posts were the equivalent of a disorder that needs attention and sympathy almost made me spit my coffee on to the keyboard. Wolfie would be the first to say 'i am what i am, i stand by what i say and I accept the consequences' for that I rather admire him, certainly more than many who post on here, but allow him back? Not until I see a change (though not my call obviously). There has been much accusation of the illuminati, stepford, lizard variety that unwelcome views are suppressed, yet those all seem to revel in voices that are antisocial and 'controversial' regardless of the often poisonous reactions they engender and the deep upset they cause. This thread excepted, I for one am glad the lounge is a quieter place. The forum's recent absence and my willingness to wander back to places like Thisislondon or other fora where entrenched anger ridden slanging somehow qualifies for debate makes me even happier to welcome back the EDF's return. Long may it continue to be a refuge of the ludicrously bonkers yet sane. Admin took a decision for the good of the forum, tough decisions but I'm happy to back Admin for that. For those who feel the place is poorer for their removal, and they are entitled to that opinion, there are other fora where they still have a voice. Go, enjoy.

Good night ... for all three of us :(

A huuuge topic and I will gather thoughts for a soloquy that will only interest me, but in the meantime... The rest of Europe does have issues, they offer differ in texture but don't think somehow were the only sceptical nation by any stretch. Extremism is on the rise in the margins everywhere and it's a wider malaise with political engagement, I don't think Europe is central to it at all. Yes I think by and large the european project is something imposed by political elites on the masses, but fuck me, what isn't. Like Brendan I respect britons' right to choose and if you leave so do I, I'm happier as a citizen of Europe than I am blighty regardless of how much I love this place. Oh yeah, and homogenous america, ho ho ho.
