BFBC2 is better anyway ;)

Actually I downloaded the Vietnam add-on a couple of weeks ago. Awesome soundtrack!


Stones?


No, actual music. Stone would sound stupid. Even if you drop a few of them on the floor at the same time they still just kind of go 'DUNK'.

According to another site these songs have been identified:

Creedence Clearwater Revival Fortunate Son
Wagner Ride of the Valkyries
Wolf People Village Strollin'
Jack Arel Picture of Summer
Jack Arel Strange Galaxy
Jack Arel L'Amour Et L'Enfer
John O'Brien-Docker Freak Out
John O'Brien-Docker Sock it to Me Baby
Pierre Dutour & Jack Arel Bewilderment
Anders Lewen Muscle Soul
Anders Lewen Memphis Guitar Soul

I cant find a full track list. They were defo on the original BF Vietnam on PC.

I dont see how a rolling stone is going to sound any better than one that is simply dropped though.

After declaring I'd never buy CODBLOPS, I have.

To be fair I had a discount voucher and only paid about £9 for it. Less than £10 for approx 5hrs single player seems worth it (I don't do multiplayer anymore).

Now, having completed it, I wish I hadn't bothered, even at that price. It wasn't a patch on MW or MW2, and felt even more scripted and constrained. The AI was dreadful in places - enemy soldiers just standing out in the open, when there was cover available all over the place. The weapons were crap, only a couple of them actually felt satisfying to use and melee felt very hit and miss.

Oh, and the zombie mode... why?

The next time I decide not to buy a game, I'm sticking to my guns.

[edit] Anyone know if you can de-authorise a cd key on Steam, so I can flog this to someone who cares?

The PC version apparently suffers a lot of the PS3 problems, if that makes any difference...

For me, the Treyarch CoDs have always felt weak in terms of shooting, though I find their storylines make much more sense than the MWs, even if they aren't as exciting.

And yes, it's beyond me why anyone would want to play that particular zombie mode :?

I've a couple of friends who love zombie mode and will happily sit there, plugging away for hours to reach the highest level. Occasionally, I'll join them and mess the entire thing by letting them down.
