COD in vietnam = horrible!

Im one of those select few gamers who couldn't give a crap about cod. I thjink its meant for people without a challenge and such. Its my opinion you don't have to agree. I also think its become this bs medium that journalist and reviewers based their opinion on. If anything is different its crapped on. If its closely related it comes off as a rip off. Its stupid.

Now COD:black ops is coming. Rumoursh ave been circulating since last year about it being set close to vietnam and such. I was hoping it wouldn't be. Upon seeing the trailer and reading details..it appears my fears have happened. COD is gonna be set in close around the cold war and Vietnam. This is a horrible thing for me to hear. As I love the vietnam conflict. Not in a way of the casualties, but the many battles our troops have done. The things they went through. I respect all branches of the military but the men who fought in vietnam hold a special place in my heart. MY uncle was a marine during the vietnam conflict. While he doesn't talk much about it, I know our troops seen hard times.

Now hearing a COD game is gonna be based here. I fear that it will be some bs hollywood blockbuster type game. Which imo is not what a Vietnam game should be. It should show the great battles, show the torment our troops faced. Have missions in tunnels..have missions alone in the jungle away from your team. IT NEEDS to be very atmosphereic for me to care. A good story needs to be told here. Also, say what you want about Shellshock 2 but..it brought what a vietnam game needs..atmosphere.I understand this will be bought by cod fans...not me.

Now, if It is I will eat my words. However, a intelligient and well told story won't be in place in a cod game. A good telling story is more sutied for the brothers in arms series (which I love) which actually shows the great abttles, the conflicts the torment and has characters you can actually care about. It comes off as the way of a novel and makes you care. Care for these characters. COD won't have this.. If it does ill eat my words but I won;t hold my breath.

I don't mean to come off as a jerk, however, having the bs medium that is cod brings our industry down. Especially when you have Bobby Crotchlick heading Activison. COD fanboys you can hate me but the simple fact is..COD is garbage in my eyes.
