Call of Duty:World at War Beta (includes code)

As Novemeber 11th approaches, the Call of Duty: World at War Beta has been released. With the popularity of Call of Duty 4 and how great that game was, everyone is looking forward to the release of this game. So how is the beta for this game? Well for starters this is not made by the same people as COD4, it’s the same people as COD3. Yes that COD, and yes we are back in World War 2 again.

One of the things that I really enjoyed was that they used the COD4 engine for the entire game. So basically all it really is, is World War 2 setting with the COD4 engine. Somehow though it still doesn’t look that great. Maybe it’s me or maybe it’s the setting. One thing they did add was the ability to lose an arm or leg when you get shot, which is really gruesome.

With the World War 2 setting you get the the World War 2 guns which everyone should be familiar with but probably disappointed with because you’d rather have COD4 guns. Another addition is the voice of Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutharland) which I love. Other additions are the new perks, in which a couple are very creative and enchance game play. We also have to rewards for getting kill streaks. For 3 kills u get a Recon Plane, 5 you get Mortar strikes (the kill cam for this looks awesome) and for 7 you get the dogs. Dogs are gruesome and you can kill them as well to gain XP.

Overall the COD:World at War Beta was alright. I’m excited to see what the final game feels like and how the Singler Player is handled. I wasn’t really too impressed, cause really it’s just another WW2 game but this time in Japan and with the COD4 engine. Of course if you would like the see for yourself what I’m talking about and you have a 360 you can use this code: KDWFC-QHXD8-MGFG3-QPC6G-WFDCB. I only have one so first come first serve, sorry.

Ask the shaggy4dog: Random Q’s

When I asked for questions I got…well I got nothing. Really? I was at least expecting the are you gay? Well anyways I’ve decedided to just roll with it and just come up with random Q’s.

 

Why should I care about this blog?

Uh, because I’m answering any question you may have. Just because I can.

Are you look for something hard?

That’s what she said.

What are you most looking forward to?

Right now it’s Gears of War 2

What show do you most enjoy right now?

I am always enjoying Mythbusters, but right now I love Heroes.

What movie do you want to see?

I’ve been thinking about the new Angelina Jolie movie, whatever it’s called. 

Are you really a shaggy dog?

No, but I do have a dog that is somewhat shaggy. If this thing becomes popular I could do a video podcast in which the dog answers the questions.

Who are you voting for?

Obama

What do you think about Joe the Plumber?

I think I need to lay some pipe in your mom’s house. But I think it’s a pathetic attempt at attention by the McCain camp.

What are you doing right now?

Right now I’m preparing to nap, the watch the Mizzou-Texas game and work.

Where do you work?

In the Air Force 

Suprised at the recent Apple announcments?

No, not really. Don’t care either.

Suprised by the Little Big Planet delay?

Actually I was, and it was over a little song too. Really really weird.

How will Little Big Planet do?

I think it will thrive on the community. It’s all about what people create. I’m really interested in what people do, it’s the social networking thing that they got going on and it could work.

Do you think social networking is the way of the future?

No, it’s a current fad and I do agree that it is important. But in the aspect that you see it right now (i.e. Facebook & Myspace) could eventually die. I think everything does. 

What is next for the future?

If I knew I wouldn’t be here. 

Could you at least make a guess?

I’m actually interested in what the Army is devolping with communications between brains. They are working on something that let’s people communicate with only their thoughts. Seriosly that is insanse.

College Football: It’s not over yet

*Warning* If you are a Texas fan you may want to turn your head from what I’m about to say. Because it’s defintly something you don’t want to hear. This year has been full of upset and BCS shake-ups to that similiar of last year. And now Texas is #1 everyone wants to jump on the band wagon and say Texas will win a National Title and Colt McCoy is going to win the Heisman. Guesss what they’re not going to make it past this weekend.

On Saturday night Texas faces Missouri on ESPN @ 8:00 PM. I encourage you to win the game because you get to see the future champ and the future Heisman winner. Guess what? Neither is coming from Texas, they are both coming from Missouri. Chase Daniels is going to light up the sky and show you what a real Heisman candidate looks like. Say what you like about Mizzou, go ahead and hate but that will make it harder to get through when I turn out right Saturday night.

Yes I realize Mizzou lost last week to Ok. State but you know what, every team will lose a game this year. There will be no team that runs that table from the SEC, PAC-10, Big Ten, or Big 12. And you know what, we still almost won that game vs Ok. State. Chase has his first bad game in a while that’s okay. I’d rather have the bad game now rather than later. So what does that mean? I have inside information that lets me know that Chase will go crazy on this so called great defense that Texas has. He will have a big game with less than 1 INT. And yes he will lead the team to victory.

So I’m telling you right now, don’t buy into the Texas hype only because they beat Oklahoma last week. Whoopie, they’ll lose this week and everyone will be crying because you know what? I was right. Even if somehow Mizzou loses this weekend, I’ll stick to my guns and admit I was wrong. But let’s no jump to any conclusions.
