As gamers across the country are enjoying their copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops, Vietnam Veteran Ron Parkes is not pleased.

We’ll have to watch and see if this trend continues throughout the day…

The question is, are five new maps really worth 1,200 MP/$15…

Anyone who’s been playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 online has probably seen the hackers. People have found ways to tweak the game to suit their means, like increasing how much experience could be gained to help people level up quicker.

My personal favorite exploit was a diabolical one that would penalize people who killed other people, sending them all the way back down to the first level. But those days are at an end.

Infinity Ward announced today via the Infinity Ward Forum that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2‘s latest patch, 1.08, will take care of all those troublesome and unfair exploits. No more XP hacks, no more infinite care packages…

The tail end of 2009 was originally full of high-profile releases that were eventually pushed back. Some may say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the chief reason publishers decided to push some of their games to January 2010 and beyond.

The terrorists arrive at an airport and proceed to shoot everybody in sight and then make their way out while cutting down the police.
