I enjoyed the first game's SP but the storyline for the sequel sounds like some conservative American's wank fantasy.
Yes, because a story written by real operators while they were deployed that just happened to get picked up for the game automatically makes it a conservative fantasy when it's meant to highlight the lesser known locations in the GWOT instead of the same setting over and over again. It's still supposed to be grounded and more personal like the first SP except it doesn't take place in just Afghanistan because that's not just where the battles are being fought. I don't know how this one is more of a wank than the first one, but to each their own.
I guess you stay away from a lot of shooters though. Maybe you can replay BlackSite: Area 51 a few more times to balance it out. It just gets so damn old hearing people bring the same damn political shit into every discussion. You knew you didn't like it but the urge to drop a stupid cliche of a political quip was too much. So tired of the spinning and anger nonstop on both sides, but that won't stop here after the elections because it never ends.
MP trailer was good. I hope the international focus helps them out more since it's a pretty good idea and I'd love to see more of it in the future. The SOCOM forums were full of threads requesting certain spec ops to appear in the game and it's nice to see some of them are getting their wish in Warfighter.
Even if the game is just average, that 50% made sure that I didn't care because I know I"ll get enough enjoyment out of it for that price.
