@Rendo: Russia's chomping at the bit to get back at America for their role in killing their newest national hero and martyr Imram Zakhaev, thanks to Makarov's Ultranationalist propaganda machine.

@Spaceboy: There were several offices that tried to stop me on my play-through. There were a few with TMP9 machine pistols and one with a UMP45. Nobody ever got a shot off though.

@Terrorsaur - Five Six: It's the first game in a long time where I've had to revisit the campaign so I could figure out what was going on.

@Twik63: It's a play on a quote from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. A sniper captain and the player are moving through Chernobyl, and the captain remarks, "50,000 people used to live here. Now it's a ghost town." #xboxlive

@Alexander-the-Supernaut: It wouldn't be a decision-maker for me, but I'd be willing to go along with a plan like that for a title I'm already interested in buying. That'd be a really effective charity strategy.

@DrakeDatsun: Continue? ...9...8...7... #loselose

The 360 triggers are the same as the ones on the Gamestop controllers they put out; those things stuck like a clingy ex-girlfriend wanting to re-connect despite the use of such classic phrases as "Get the fuck out" and "If I ever see you again, I'm calling the cops." #madcatz

@ClaudioIphigenia: I was referring to Gamestop, not defending it. =) #callofdutymodernwarfare2

@No Star is the New Star: It is when a number of your customers call you to inform you that they'd like a refund on their pre-orders of MW2, having elected to buy the game at another store because it broke the street date. #callofdutymodernwarfare2

To boost hardware sales.

Call of Duty 4 in preparation for Modern Warfare 2. I also just picked up F.E.A.R. 2 and bought the Reborn campaign expansion.

@excel_excel: We almost had to call The Avengers. #modernwarfare2

Any word on the massive amount of rounds required to take someone down and that whole "my grenade launcher can bring down an entire wall but can't kill this guy in even two hits" thing?

@DrunkAus: Also got a little vibe from the Dreamcatcher film based on the Stephen King novel. #masseffect2

@EB-Hawk: I'm waiting for the highly technical explanation in the Codex. #masseffect2

@Eckleberg: I'm going to miss infinite ammo. It was nice not having to worry about how many rounds I was using and focus more on what abilities were recharging and how best to bring the target down.

@Goldwings:

@RROD74: Hopefully they'll improve upon Web of Shadows. It wasn't a bad game at all, but it lacked in enough areas to prevent it from becoming a solid title.

They're clearly two college students on a frat pledge gone horribly wrong. #kanelynch2dogdays

@Sharkey1337: I'm a huge fan of perks from Call of Duty. I think a mix between my two favorite shooters sounds great, but I'm a little concerned about the implementation and how well they work for the gameplay.
