The Arcade FPS was perfected in 1998 with Unreal Tournament, and revisited in 2004 with Unreal Tournament 2004. The "realistic" shooter I have found to be the best was America's Army version 2.x, which is no longer supported. The Battlefield games up to this point have really been about the vehicles, imo. I liked them, I'm just sayin'. BF3 might change that.

I missed UT but played the next one. Fun game but Gears dominated my time

Activision Blizzard Inc. plans to launch an online service called Call of Duty Elite this fall that will work with the next major edition of the game, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and future installments of the hyper-realistic combat-simulation game

This made me laugh.

I can't even count the number of times I've read about soldiers who were KIA in Iraq or Afghanistan respawning back at base camp with their buddies. Or how many times a viscious attack dog absorbed half a clip from an assault rifle only to kill it's shooter in one bite. Or someone taking a bullet from a .50 cal sniper rifle square in the stomach only to keep running through an open field like an idiot.

I love COD games, but hyper-realistic combat-simulations they are not.

Word is one of the Navy Seals dropped a tactical insertion inside Bin Laden's bedroom. Bin Laden saw the flashing red light, but chose to ignore it.

Battlefield IMO is a far superior game and has been for awhile. All this will do is drive the horrible little bed stains over to BF3. I was so pleasant to play BF and not hear boys that sound like school girls.

The demand for video games is fairly inelastic, sadly, EA figured this out. Look for more companies to exploit this

I wouldn't call the whole market inelastic, just a certain portion. Regardless, it will be interesting to see what comes from this. There are definitely people addicted to the CoD franchise enough that they'll buy no questions asked. In a way, I can see this potentially getting as bad as the WoW community in the long run.

That can't be right. If Bin Laden was trying to play COD, he would have backed up into the corner of the room where the T.I was, and swung his knife wildly until the Navy Seal spawned just so he could poach that one easy kill, regardless how much he could have been helping his Al Queda buddies elsewhere.
