Call of Duty 2 - XBOX 360

[gigag04]

My roommate got the new xbox, and I have been playing the new hot game titled "Call of Duty 2."

This may seem off topic, but I'm going to try to make it relevant.

During my time in the corps of cadets at A&M, I learned lots of Infantry tactics and battle drills. It's amazing to me how much this is necessary to do well in the game.

The game has gotten great reviews as a "white knuckle" game. It is one huge firefight the entire movie. I've been playing on the most difficult setting where you get shot and you actually die immediately, you are constantly dodging grenades, and you have to pop smoke to cover all your open movement.

Another thing I like is that the high power rifles are more potent and more accurate than the spray and pray machine-guns.

My favorite weapon is the M-1 Garand, and you just double tap the germans. The Mp-40 sub machine gun takes repeated hits to take people down.

Cover and concealment are a must.

So - if you can't make your IDPA match, just go pick up an xbox. It's neat to see real life tactics rewarded in a video game for a change.
