    His idea for MW3 should be suggested to IW, imo.

      I'm sure it'll find its way to them.

    Wait, your character dies 3 times in MW2? I knew you died once, but that's a bit excessive.

      Nah, it just appeared that way. They showed a sequence, like a cliffhanger cutscene with the helicopter, then they showed the nuke sequence, then there's the actual death. At least, those are the three that I believe he's talking about.

        Plus all the scenes where you suddenly black out from a surprise explosion and such. The game's flooded with scenes like that.

        And as usual, ZP nails everything on the head. Points out pretty much every beef I had with the game. Multiplayer aside, I really didn't much care for the game. But 'nuff 'bout that.

      1. Allen when he's undercover.
      2. The astronaut during the short ISS mission/cutscene.
      3. Roach in the woods from Shepard.

      Pretty sure I just spoiled the game for anybody would read this post, but the spoiler tags don't work on GameGrep.

    My god, will anyone touch on the PC issues? I mean, what does that say if everyone is avoiding them including Mister Controversial himself?

    I was eagerly awaiting this review just for pure amusement of listening to him rip into IW about their lack of love for the PC fanbase but instead he dances around that, which makes me feel that this isn't one of his best reviews.

      While the PC version seems to have gotten the short end of the stick, it's not necessarily bad. I've played through it, and the matchmaking and such isn't too bad, you can join parties with friends, etc., have never been separated. Not only that, but there are dedicated servers, the PC community are wonderful for doing things like that, heh. Some even show hosting by IW themselves I believe, which is strange.

      afaik, he doesn't talk about technical issues usually.

      Dances around it? I'm sure he just didn't bother with the PC version whatsoever, so didn't even know or care that there were issues to rag on. 'sides most of said issues are to do with multiplayer modes, no? He doesn't exactly care about that either.
