So I went to my uncle's and aunt's house this weekend because my dad decided he wanted to watch the Cowboys' game with them... despite my distaste for football...
And my uncle offered me use of his other TV, and I noticed the XBox 360 hooked up to it.
I can't say I'm all that up to date on consoles, but I know that the XBox 360 is the newest XBox and it's supposed to be amazing...
So I browsed his minimal collection of games, casting aside the 4 sports related ones and the regular XBox game that wouldn't play on the console, leaving only one game of interest (even though I don't usually like 1st person shooters or war games); Call of Duty 4.
I began playing and found it tolerable (despite the excessive fog of war and the difficulty I had with aiming/holding the gun steady)
So I progress through the game for a while, and I get to this level that's mostly helicopter stuff (which I found annoying), and the heli stopped to save the pilot of a downed helicopter. I was unfortunately too busy with the enemies once we started to take off, so I didn't hear the warnings of "nuclear threat" that the officers on the radio were saying...
So when the nuke goes off and the shockwave/radiation start chasing my heli, I assume the main character is going to somehow miraculously survive, since there were several occasions in which the main character survived (not to mention the idea that most protagonists survive through the whole story).
Well the heli started going berserko and crashed, then it went to a sort of news broadcast thing where they described that a nuke went off, and it pinpointed my location. I was relieved to think that I was out of range enough to actually get out alive.
It starts me out with a black screen and rumbling controller to the sound of a heavy heartbeat. I think "good he's alive!" Then I find myself crawling through the reckage of the heli with several corpses lying around and a very sullen landscape with fallout still rushing through the air. I manage to exit the heli just in time to die staring at the mushroom cloud, and the screen says "K.I.A."
"Cowboys lost."
We leave just after I got nuked.
Now I want to finish that game x_x
Should I get it for the PC or get a newer CoD game... or ignore it?
Oh and while I'm at it I might as well get a nifty C&C game...
