Still, it did happen. Whether or not future sensationalism is justified is largely irrelevant in the present moment. Regardless of your personal stance on scary stories et al (mine is a similar one), the fact is that it did happen.

I wish, mate. I wish. This is awful.

It's not bad. Definitely not as fully-formed as it could have been, and it's definitely a Ubisoft title in terms of gameplay mechanics (enemy marking, tower obstacles/reveals, dozens of mini-activities) some of which I'm not so wild about. Overall, though, I've certainly enjoyed my time playing thus far.

How the hell did they make it out of North Korea?

It's a cute gimmick, but it lacks staying power. The more you think about it, the more ridiculous it becomes. When a zombie apocalypse feels more credible than a mass North Korean invasion, you know you have a problem.

Same. I'm Canadian, with a family history of distinguished military service, and I'm not ashamed to say that the US of A is (overall) the strongest fighting force in the world, and could do a heavy number to pretty much anyone in a stand-up fight.

Capitalist lies! Guards, send this man to labour camp! And lower his songbun!

It's not just manpower. People forget that the glorious North Koreans are still using Soviet Cold War weaponry. Aside from a primitive and largely impotent nuclear arsenal, the NK military is effectively fighting with sticks and stones.

The United States has the most powerful military force in the world. That's what the above comments are saying. Sure, America is far from perfect in all manner of respects, but there isn't a single country today worthy of standing up to them in long-term open conflict outside of guerrilla action and brushfire wars.

They have a ton of people, just no supplies or materiel capable of holding up to the iron fists of Uncle Sam in a stand-up fight. They're still using early Cold War-era military tech, and worse. The only significant piece of hardware they have is in crude nuclear form.

Branding is a powerful thing, my friend.

The MW2 plot was largely garbage. The airport shootout/massacre was painfully unnecessary and gratuitous, the invasion totally implausible, and the rest of it about as weak as a newborn kitten.

When looked at with any sense of credibility, the chances of North Korea invading and occupying South Korea, let alone America, for any extended period of time are pretty low. It's like saying that Nigeria is going to develop a multi-trillion dollar economy overnight and then become the leader of the free world.

Not in the traditional sense, of course. The term seems more catchphrase than actuality these days, and tends to get the point across well enough to those who aren't familiar with the actual names (even if it's not entirely correct).

He was a good man, and a fine leader. A gentleman among men, respected by allies and enemies alike much as Patton, MacArthur, Montgomery, Yamamoto, and Eisenhower were.

There are countries and their agendas, and then there are people and their agendas. Every soldier who fought and died, no matter which side for, had his or her own opinion and story. To call every German soldier a Jew-hating Stormtrooper discredits the speaker more than anyone.

It's not like the Americans were any less racist or hateful at the time. For a while before the war American high command actually thought that the almond-shaped eyes common in so-called Oriental peoples throughout the far east made the Japanese see less in low light.

Hence the "1914".

The SS have a bad rap, and rightly so. While I have no doubt that some of them were just former Wermach officers in search of higher positions and better postings, the negative reputation the division has since received, when applied generally, is thoroughly deserved.

He was the Erwin Rommel of the Imperial Japanese, no question. Not a half bad guy by the sound of things. He was a practiced calligraphy artist and family man who, despite a widely-known extramarital affair, was universally revered as a statesman and commander.
